I know how overwhelming it can feel to juggle financial priorities while trying to live fully in the present.
Over the last decade, I’ve been on my own financial independence (FI) journey — and at one point, I realized that chasing FI didn’t mean sprinting to the finish line.
By leaning into community and support, I learned to balance building freedom with enjoying life now. That shift let me start my business, leave my 9-to-5, and transition to a semi-retired lifestyle — all before reaching full FI.
You don’t have to choose between enjoying today and building your future. With the right guidance, you can create a plan that aligns with what truly matters to you.
Book a free, no-obligation call to explore your financial challenges and see if we’re a good fit.
Over 90 days, we meet every other week to simplify your finances, set aligned goals, & design your personalized strategy.
With monthly coaching, a private client portal, and access to valuable resources, you'll stay aligned even as life evolves.
