BEST MOMENTS

"I always say that if you can't teach this to a fourth grader, if you can't learn it well enough and comfortable enough to teach it to a fourth grader, you probably shouldn't be investing in it yourself." 

"I don't know everything about everything in the financial world. I just don't. And I am OK with asking the questions when I don't understand something." 

"No one cares more about your money than you do. You need to be okay with saying, I don't know what you just said, say it different."

"I don't like the term free money. But if you look at some of that math, especially if you're like in the 20s, and you're just starting out at a college, oh, my goodness."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker. 

I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career.  I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.

I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone. 

I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
