About
I am the wife of a Youth Pastor/Football Coach, a mom to three very active (and loud) young boys, a speaker, trainer and a Financial Freedom & Business Strategist. I teach individuals how to become financially free by giving them tips, tools and strategies on how to mange their money and make more of it all so they can build and leave a legacy of faith, family, finance and fearless living.
I am passionate about life and making sure I am a good steward over everything God entrusted me with—not just with my husband and kids, but with my gifts, my skills, my faith, my finances and my life. He gave us all unique gifts and a ton of things to steward and I want to ensure I multiply everything He entrusted me with to the fullest.
I did not always feel this way. I just wanted to live a good life, work a 9-5, make good money, marry the man of my dreams and have great (well-mannered) kids; but, life never goes as planned. Yes, I have a great life. I was able to marry the man of my dreams and I have great kids. Well mannered? Well, it depends on the time of day and the people you ask. But life never goes as planned.
After landing what I thought was my dream engineering job, quitting after three years, going back to school (while tripling my student loans), and starting a new profession that did not pay “engineering money”, I have learned (the hard way) about managing money. After getting married, paying off all credit card bills and auto loans, then having kids and getting back into credit card debt, I am now even more focused to live on a budget, only spend what I have, and eliminate debt. Yes, it can be frustrating and sometimes we make mistakes along the way, but the key is we are moving towards financial freedom.
We make mistakes, we get back up.
We get frustrated, we focus on the the goal.
A stumbling block may come along the way, but we overcome it and keep it moving.
Why? Because we want to live out our purpose and not have money halt us from doing so.
This website (including the blogs and podcast) detail our journey and provides families tips, tools and strategies on ways to eliminate debt, set goals, walk in purpose, create multiple streams of income while demonstrating how it all interrelates to everyday life with our faith and our family while living fearlessly. I want to educate, encourage and equip YOU to not only build a legacy, but to leave one as well.
