Dear Money Adventurer, I know some women don’t like to share their age, for all sorts of reasons. But me, I have always loved to sing it from the rooftops. Today is my 54th birthday! I think it’s an honor to age. It’s not easy. Aging has its blessings and challenges like everything in life. But it is an honor and I choose to meet it with celebration. So, since it’s my birthday, I’m asking for you to indulge my…

Dear Money Adventurer, Last week marked the beginning of the end of the year for me. I finished my last financial therapy session, held my final office hours call for my Art of Money program, and finished my mentor program small group – all last calls for the year.

And I want to offer you some spaciousness to help you bring more mindful awareness to your relationship with money before we ring in the new year, too. With this in mind, I’m opening 5 slots for my private financial therapy sessions. One private session includes 75 minutes with…

Dear Money Adventurer, I recently shared this note on the socials and I thought it would be good to share it here as well. As we head towards the end of the year, I like to start my year-end rituals. This includes a review of my business numbers, projections & what actually happened. I also do a review + appreciation of the personal side with family, health, travel, etc. Some years I don’t do this until December but this year…
