I got it all wrong when it came to making money
Hello Reader,
When I found myself in massive business debt and let go from my job as the family's primary provider,
I took action.
Frantic action.
I Googled, 'how to make money fast'.
You can imagine what came up.
Nothing I wanted to do.
What I didn't know then was, this was the wrong starting point.
When you feel anxious and panicked, you can do crazy things.
You just want to alleviate the fear you feel.
You do everything you can to prevent that worst-case scenario you made up in your head from happening.
What I should have done instead,
Was to recognize it was just my survival instincts kicking in,
Because my brain couldn't see the difference between what was real and what was made up in my head in dramatic fashion.
But, you don't know what you don't know.
And I didn't know this was the classic example of an amygdala hijack.
Your emotions kick into high gear and take over from your thinking mind.
Money sure can push those emotional buttons.
And if you're someone who gets anxious about money topics, then you might want to catch the replay of this week's workshop,

Reader, I've been thinking about why so many smart, capable women feel stuck in their careers. And I realized something: We've been taught to build careers like men in the 1950s - linear, logical, based on external metrics of success. But what if your path is supposed to be different? What if your sensitivity isn't a weakness but a superpower? What if your intuition isn't 'soft' but your competitive advantage? What if your desire for meaningful work isn't 'unrealistic' but exactly what the...
Reader, Here's a stat that stopped me in my tracks: 73% of working mothers are planning a career change within the next 12 months. But here's what the research doesn't tell you: Most of them will make the same mistake I made for years - they'll change their job, not their approach. Different company, same exhaustion. New role, same feeling that something's missing. What if I told you the women who actually create careers they love aren't just changing jobs - they're changing how they make...
The Weekly Newsletter CAREER COACH FOR WORKING MOMS I've always been the person who makes career decisions that look crazy from the outside. Pay cut for a smaller role? ✅ Leaving stable jobs for unknown opportunities? ✅ Following gut instincts over spreadsheet logic? ✅ People thought I was either brave or reckless. Turns out, I was just being myself. Last week I discovered Human Design - basically a personality system that creates your 'user manual for life' based on your birth details....
