When I was still working nights in the ICU, I wasn't bad with money. I just wasn't intentional with it.

I'd get paid, feel relieved, spend without thinking, and then wonder where it all went by the next payday.

The thing that changed everything wasn't a budget overhaul or a finance degree. It was one small, recurring appointment with my own money.

A Weekly Money Date.

Because here's what I know now: automation doesn't replace awareness... it buys you time to build it. When you set an automatic transfer, you're essentially making the right decision before your tired, post-shift self can talk you out of it.

Today is June 1st. Seven months left in the year. Here's what one automatic transfer could grow into by December 31st.

Okay, I’m still not over this. 🥹💗

One month ago I was standing at my little pink booth at NurseCon, meeting hundreds of nurses face to face.

For years, NurseMoneyDate® has existed through screens. Zoom calls. Instagram messages. Coaching calls. Most days it’s me sitting behind a computer in Sydney, building an online business and hoping the work I’m doing is actually making a difference.

Then NurseCon happened.

Over just a few days, I met more than 600 nurses in person. We talked about money, debt, investing, burnout, dreams, and the life you want outside of your next shift.

In an age where so much happens online and where AI is changing the way we work and connect getting to meet people in real life feels more meaningful than ever.

Five years ago, NurseMoneyDate® was just an idea from a bedside nurse in Chicago.

Today, I get to help nurses all over the world and occasionally step out from behind the screen to meet the incredible humans who make this work so meaningful.

Thank you to every nurse who stopped by, shared your story, asked a question, or simply said hello. 💗

Getting to build this business is a privilege.

Getting to meet you was the reminder of why I started ✨

Okay, I'm still not over this🥹💗

One month ago I was standing at my little pink booth at , meeting so many of you in person, and honestly? It still hasn't fully sunk in.

Over those few days I talked with more than 600 nurses. About money, debt, investing, burnout, relationships, the life you actually want outside of your next shift. All of it.

And some of the stories you shared? I'm going to carry them with me forever.

Nurses crying because they felt behind. Nurses telling me they'd never once talked about money without feeling ashamed. Nurses who had just opened their first retirement account. Nurses who simply wanted more, for themselves, their families, their future.

The part that got me the most: you could feel something shifting in real time. Right there at the booth. 💗

I started this whole thing as a bedside nurse in Chicago who just wanted nurses to feel a little less alone with their money. And then the next minute I was standing on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean talking to hundreds of you face to face. 😂😭 Surreal doesn't even cover it.

So thank you. To every nurse who stopped by, spun the wheel, entered the giveaway, told me your story, or trusted me enough to ask the money question you'd been sitting on.

I don't take a second of it for granted.

The future for nurses is so much bigger than we've been taught to believe. ✨

Fall of 2021.

I was still working full-time as a bedside nurse in Chicago when I enrolled in my CFP® education program. 🩺💗

Back then, this goal felt so far away. Between 12-hour shifts, building NurseMoneyDate® from the ground up, moving across the world, and life constantly changing… there were honestly moments I wondered if I’d ever make it to this point.

And now here we are.
Almost five years later, I’ve officially completed my CFP Board Registered Education Program and have completed 5,500 of the 6,000 experience hours required toward CFP® certification. 🥹✨

I still have one final step ahead of me: passing the CFP® exam and completing my remaining experience hours before I can officially use the CFP® marks. But this milestone feels incredibly meaningful nonetheless.

This journey has required sacrifices, discipline, late nights, early mornings, and a deep commitment to continuing my education so I can better serve nurses.

Because here’s the thing I care deeply about:
the term “financial advisor” is not heavily regulated. Technically, almost anyone can call themselves one.

But CFP® certification carries weight. It represents education, ethics, experience, accountability, and a real commitment to this profession. It means you’ve invested years into truly learning this work instead of simply talking about money online.

That matters to me.
And it matters for the nurses I serve.

I never wanted to build a brand based on surface-level financial advice. I wanted NurseMoneyDate® to be rooted in integrity, education, and real expertise... because nurses deserve that level of care with their finances too.

To everyone who has supported me along the way… thank you. My clients, my community, my family, my friends, and especially my husband 🤍 I truly could not have done this without you.

One step closer. ✨

NurseCon friends, let’s make this more than a good time at sea. If you’ve ever thought, “I make decent money, so why does my money still feel messy?” you’re not alone.

Nursing comes with unique schedules, overtime, emotional labor, big life goals, and financial decisions that generic money advice rarely understands.

That’s why NurseMoneyDate® exists.

We help nurses get clearer, calmer, and more confident with their money, without shame, product sales, or confusing financial jargon.

Come find me onboard, say hi, enter the MacBook Neo giveaway, and ask about the NurseCon-only attendee discount for my 12 week money coaching program specifically for nurses.

Whether you’re trying to pay down debt, build your credit, understand investing, plan for a big purchase, or simply feel more in control, this is your sign to start.

Save this post so you can find me at NurseCon at Sea 2026.

I turn 31 today! And more than anything, I just feel really grateful. Grateful for the version of me who kept showing up
even when I didn’t fully know what I was doing yet...

Even when it felt slow and when it would’ve been easier to avoid it.

A lot has changed over the years, but what I’m most proud of
is how different my relationship with money feels now.

It feels calm and feels so steady...
And I think that’s what I was really chasing the whole time.

Are you a high-income nurse wondering if you should max out your 401(k)? The answer isn't as simple as "yes, always." It depends on your age, your goals, your investing style, and what you actually want your life to look like right now. Sometimes the smartest financial move is giving yourself permission to live a little while you build. Swipe through to see the 2026 numbers and figure out what makes sense for you.

Save this for later and share it with a nurse friend who needs to see this 💕

AI is actually really good for your finances, if you know how to use it, as in creating a really good prompt!

I'm not going to pretend it's useless just because I sell coaching. It can explain a Roth IRA at 2am after your shift. It can build you a budget in 10 seconds. It can compare a 403(b) vs a Roth better than most people you know.

But here's what nobody's talking about: when AI is wrong, it's wrong BAD.

It doesn't say "I'm not sure." It gives you a confident, polished, completely wrong answer. Retirement withdrawal rates calculated without factoring in your pension. Tax advice that misses your state's rules. Investment recommendations that ignore your actual timeline.

And the wealthier you get? The more your taxes, investments, retirement accounts, insurance, and estate planning start overlapping. One wrong AI calculation ripples through everything.

After almost 5 years of coaching nurses, here's what I know for sure: my clients don't come to me for information. They can Google that.

They come because they want to be heard. They want to understand why they stress-spend after a brutal shift. They want someone who remembers their goals, challenges them, and doesn't let them off the hook.
Information is free. Transformation is not.

Use AI to learn. Use a coach to transform.

I personally believe we're going to see some form of recession or market crash within the next 24 months.

Why? Right now, the U.S. economy is being propped up by massive AI spending. Companies are pouring over $500 billion a year into AI infrastructure, and that's basically the only thing keeping GDP growth strong. Meanwhile, hiring has flatlined, wage growth is slowing, and everyday costs keep climbing.

Sound familiar? It should. We saw this same pattern with the dot-com bubble. Massive investment, sky-high valuations, and then a correction when the returns didn't match the hype. I'm not saying this to scare you. I'm saying this because the nurses who prepare NOW won't be the ones panicking later.

That's why every single client inside NurseMoneyDate is working on these exact steps right now:
→ Getting debt as low as possible
→ Weekly money dates (non-negotiable)
→ Building a 6 to 8 month emergency fund
→ Finding ways to increase income with or without their nursing degree
→ Stacking certifications to stay competitive

The goal isn't to predict the future perfectly. The goal is to be the nurse who's ready no matter what happens. Proactive over reactive. Every single time.
