Dear Friend, What does a decade of deep money work look like?Let me show you. What if you could talk to real people about money? We ALL have money stories to share. Tough times and how we overcame them. Hard-won wisdom, inspiration, and soulful insights. In this intimate conversation series, Money Memoirs, I talk to folks from all different backgrounds and walks of life — and ask them to share their personal money stories. The good, the hard, and the…
Dear Friend, If you’ve been a part of this chocolate and encouragement fuelled community for long, you know that I love to blend practical tools with dreamy inspiration. I’m so excited to pop into your inbox to share the interview I did with Karen McCall at the very beginning of the new year.

As we head into the 9th year of my year-long Art of Money program here’s what’s up: 1. I haven’t…

We’re doing our best to make it work, adjusting traditions, and seeking solace as we approach this marking of the end of a chapter, and welcoming a new one.

Here we go… List out a few small to big money steps that you want to honor and celebrate this year.
