To quote from the movie Taken: “I have a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career.” Unlike Neeson, the only thing my skills kill are the roadblocks preventing you leaving your job and become selfi-employed😀. My skills:
20+ years of financial industry experience.
Financially coached thousands at several Fortune 500 companies which grew my expertise in corporate benefits and helping employees strategically ( and confidentially) plan their corporate escape
Taught classes at various churches on how to design a Christ Centered, calling focused plan for your life
My own incredibly frustrating journey of trying to find resources to help me create my own corporate escape plan to selfi employment. Ironicallly I became my own client
My belief that anyone courageous and compassionate enough to want to share their lives with others should be given the best chance of success to launch their business

How I know what I know (aside from my 20+ years of experience)
-
Compassionate Reality- Checker -Kindness and candor can peacefully co-exist
Turning Complexity Into Action-Moving from analysis paralysis to action
Meeting People Where They Are: Honoring and respecting where they are on their journey
Transparent Authenticity -Imperfectly being myself to empower others to do the same
Empowering Personal Agency- Moving beyond just giving information to helping you confidently make informed decisions

I gave my life to Christ when I was 30- to say I was a hot mess before is an understatement, so I am a "judgment and shame-free space" - you are welcomed exactly as you
At one point, my husband and I were over $100K in debt due to frankly really bad choices, and we paid it all off, so you are free to be your "money imperfect self."
I made leaps of faith in different seasons of my life- single, newly married, young family, and seasoned professional- I'm sensitive to the challenges of each season
I'm a mom in so many incredible ways- step, bio, foster/adoption- all teen and young adult ladies, so life is never boring.
Once I was married every leap I made was a team decision and effort.
I love chocolate, no, I mean I really, really love chocolate.
I think you are amazing. The compassion and courage it takes to pursue your calling to help others is admirable. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

The early years…
My earliest money memory was watching my mom sit at our kitchen table, face filled with despair, looking down at the bills spread around her, and occasionally looking at a picture on the wall that said, “Lord, help me hang on one more day.”
She never verbalized it, but I learned that poverty was inevitable and that those with money were either lucky or corrupt. This was the extent of my childhood money lessons.
My First Financial Plan (Hint: It was a punishment)
Later, I joined the military and quickly got into debt. When the bill came, I decided paying it was optional (as they say in the South, bless my heart). My creditors disagreed and sent my unpaid bill to my commander.
My commander’s “punishment” (I still feel sorry for him- I was a mess) was to create a debt payoff and savings plan. A year into my plan, my grandmother died. The plan allowed me to pay for the costs of me and my mother to attend the funeral.
It was the first time I saw the power money choices had on my ability to make meaningful life decisions and care for those I love.
The lesson stuck, and when I left the military, I began my now 20+-year career in the financial service industry mostly in the Atlanta Georiga area, where I currently live with my husband and children.
A Performance Review "From Hell" That Sparked My Self-Employment Glow-Up 🔥
Ever felt undervalued and stuck in a job that’s draining your spirit? My own "Aw Hell No!" moment hit during a performance review where I was labeled "lacking team spirit" for daring to prioritize my home closing. That was the cosmic kick in the pants I needed to finally break free.
I crafted my own job exit strategy and launched my financial coaching business. Now, I wish I rode off into the entrepreneurial sunset on a unicorn, but it felt more like a bumpy ride on a donkey! (Hey, nobody said it was easy!) I faced challenges, even a brief corporate "detour."
But here’s the powerful truth: during that detour, I was still passionately helping other women create their own job exit plans. This led to The Strategic L.E.A.P. Framework℠ – your step-by-step roadmap designed to simplify the unique financial challenges of building a dream self-employed life. The R.E.A.D.Y. Method within it builds your strong, secure foundation.
I used that very same framework to quit my job (again!) and re-launch my business, now laser-focused on helping women like you. Ready to write your own "escape from the corporate hamster wheel" story and gain the financial freedom you crave? Let's connect for a Free Consultation! I’ll be your candid cheerleader and strategic guide.

Your finances shouldn’t be the reason why you don’t answer.”
