What are you putting off in your finances? How long have you been putting off.

For my client Elaine, it was dealing with her investments. She waited 7 years before staring.

Years ago, she invited me to speak at her event. She’d been on my mailing list for a few years and has stayed every since then - years.
The whole time, she’s been frustrated by her financial advisor but she figured it’s fine. It’ll get better.
When it didn’t, her frustration deepened but she still waited.

That’s how a lot of women put their finances off. Nothing forces your hand, and something more pressing always needs you first.
And then just like Elaine, 7 years go by and you realize nothing has changed.

What’s the one thing in your finances you’ve been putting off? Tell me in the comments.
No shame, no blame, no judgement.

Whatever it is, do one thing to get started. You’ll be glad you did.
And like Elaine, you’ll wish you’d started 7 years ago.

If you’d like my help to get started, comment HELP and I’ll send you the link to book a free Clarity Call.
I’ll help you identify your first steps.

If you want to get a handle on your finances, regardless of the area you're looking to strengthen, start with a 30,000-foot view.

It's the view you get from an airplane window. Suddenly you can see the whole landscape and how everything fits together.

I teach my clients to create a Money Ritual to get that view: It's a weekly snapshot so small problems get caught before they snowball into big ones.

Here's how to do it:

Pick one day and time each week when your "A brain" is on.

Pull up two things to start: your bank accounts and your credit cards. Investments come later. Build the habit first.

Get curious about where your money went and whether those choices are serving you well.

Pay attention to spending patterns. A lot of money disappears due to mindless habits.

Track your spending and record it in categories that make sense for you. That's what lets you start making conscious, intentional choices instead of reacting without thinking.

That's a Money Ritual. Twenty to thirty minutes every week will start you on the path to financial freedom.

Save this so you can try it this week. Want my help to get going? Type CALL in the comments below and I'll send you the link to my calendar so you can book a free, 20-minute call to chat about how to do this in your finances.

Are you worried that you’ve waited too long to take charge of your finances? If so, you’re in good company.

I’ve heard this from women of every age, ranging from 20-somethings to 60-somethings.

Underneath this concern is fear that you may not have enough time to become financially secure.

If this is your worry, too, I made something for you. It’s called Your Financial Possibility Assessment: Is It Too Late For You?

Answer five questions to help you discover what’s still possible and where to start. You might have more options than you think.

Comment ASSESSMENT and I’ll send you the link.

Five women. Five compelling before-and-afters.

Violet’s business account used to hit near zero every month. Now, her balance is over $300,000 and her business is profitable.

Claire transferred her investments from her old broker two years ago. Since then, she’s almost doubled the money that had sat flat for ten years. The key was reducing her costs and choosing evidence-based investments.

Lee ran a successful business but was thrown off by a surprise $20,000 tax bill. She didn’t have the money set aside. One year later, she’d paid that off and had the money read for that year’s $16,000 tax bill.

Sylvie had accumulated $50,000 of debt and assumed she was “bad with money.” She wasn’t. One year later, she’s well on her way to paying off the debt and has built a business that’s ready to scale.

Bona read my book at 40 and thought “I’m 40. How do I not know this stuff?” Then caught herself. “I’m ONLY 40.” Today works because she wants to, not because she has to. She’s also co-hosting the Own What’s Next event with me.

All these women learned my system and had my guidance to implement it. It's the same system I will teach at the Own What's Next event.

Today is the last day to save $100 with the Early Bird Deal.

If you’re ready to create your own financial before-and-after story, join us in Ottawa on November 21st and 22nd. Women only. No shame, no blame, no judgement, and no requirement to disclose anything.

Get the guidance and system you need to finally get on top of your finances.

In November, I'm co-hosting an event to help women get on top of their finances, identify and address the areas that are holding them back, and get the support they need in a safe space.

The thing I'm most excited about is the community of women this will create. Working on your money can be a lonely, isolating thing. Realizing that you're not alone and that there are a lot of women who are dealing with the very things you're dealing with can be a game-changer.

If you know Bona (my co-host) and me, you know there will be a LOT of laughter, too. We're going to have fun while helping a group of women get on the path to financial freedom.

Consider this your official invitation! We hope to see you there.
You can get all the details and the link to register in the comments.

She’s accomplished, capable, and successful in many areas of her life, and yet she wasn’t prepared to handle a $20,000 tax bill.

Lee told me: “I am university educated, have travelled around the world, bought and sold houses with my husband, and was raising two great kids. How could I be so successful in so many ways and NOT have a better handle on my finances?”

She already knew the answer. It wasn’t her. It was that she’d never been taught how to manage her money.

Within one year of working together, she'd paid off that tax debt and had more than enough set aside to pay off the current year's tax bill.

And even more impressive, as she said, was that she had zero anxiety around it.

If you’re an entrepreneur and money management is the one area that is still causing you stress, this is the weekend event that will change that.

Early Bird ends WEDNESDAY, September 30th. Grab a seat and save $100.

You’ll walk away from the weekend with a plan, answers to all your financial questions, and the guidance you need to get on top of your money.

Join us in Ottawa, November 21st & 22nd for our women-only event.

If you're not where you want to be with your finances, the problem isn't you. It's what you were never taught.

Lee is university educated, has bought and sold homes, built a successful business, and raised two kids.

And a $20,000 tax surprise left her completely blindsided. She didn’t have the money saved for that bill.

Lee said: “How could I be so successful in so many ways and NOT have a better handle on my finances?! I knew it wasn’t me — it was the way I had been taught, or not taught, about money.”

One year later, after learning my systems and doing the work, she had more than enough set aside to pay off that year’s tax bill - $16,000 - immediately, with zero anxiety around it. She felt empowered and excited rather than overwhelmed and defeated.

Then there’s Sylvie. She had acquired $50,000 in debt and had internally written herself off as “not good with finances.” It wasn’t a fact. It was a belief she’d bought into for years.

She’s now in her first year running a new, profitable, growing business and she’s ready to scale. She says, "Alot of my financial success has to do with all the information I took away from your program. So glad we met!"

These women are a powerful illustration of the fact that when you have the system, skills and support you need, you can transform your finances.

I co-created an in-person, women-only event to bridge those gaps for you.

The event is called Own What’s Next and it’s for women who are done feeling unsure of their financial future and are ready to take charge of their money.

If you want to feel confident about your finances and put yourself on the path to security and freedom, join my friend Bona Normandeau and I in Ottawa on November 21st and 22nd.

You'll walk away with a personalized plan, answers to your financial questions, and the guidance you need to make it happen.

Early Bird ends September 30.

See the link in my bio for all the event details. I hope to see you there.

You’re the CEO of Everything: the household, the team, the family schedules, the social calendar and the pet sitter nobody else remembers to book. You run all of it.

Except one thing: Your finances. They’re still sitting on the list called “later”, reserved for a moment when you have the time.

After 18 years of coaching women, I can tell you there’s no version of “when things slow down” that’s coming. And your financial future can’t afford to wait.

So, my friend (and first client) Bona and I carved out the time for you instead.

We created an in-person, women-only weekend called Own What’s Next - two days in Ottawa this November, already blocked off, so you don’t have to find the time yourself.

You’ll walk in with questions and not knowing where to start. You’ll walk out with a personalized plan, answers to your financial questions, and the support you need to get moving toward your financial goals.

Early Bird pricing ends September 30th.

We are very good at waiting.

Waiting until things slow down. Until we feel more ready. Until the timing feels right. Until we have more of whatever it is we think we're lacking.

I understand that impulse. Waiting feels careful and responsible. It feels like wisdom.

But I've noticed, both in my own life and in the lives of the women I've had the privilege of working with, that the right moment almost never just arrives. It gets created by the person who decided that now was good enough to begin.

Fear is very patient. It will hand you a brand new reason to wait every single time you get close to moving. The circumstances will always be slightly off. That's not bad luck; it's just life.

The people who look back with the fewest regrets aren't the ones who waited for everything to line up. They're the ones who started anyway — in the middle of imperfect conditions, with an imperfect plan, and figured it out as they went.

You will never feel completely ready.
Start anyway. 💚
