A few years ago, something happened to me that I thought would never happen….I became a single mother. Not having been taught how to manage our money properly when we were young, my ex and I spent the better part of our 17 year marriage getting in debt, then out, then in, then out. When we decided to get divorced, I was suddenly stuck with half the debt AND half the income. I decided really quickly that I had to figure out how to pay off the debt (and stay out of debt) so that I could create the life I envision for my daughter and me.

So, I cracked down on my spending and did a lot of soul searching to figure out what the disconnect was that was causing me to not be able to manage my money properly.

Over the past few years, I have been working on paying off my debt and stuck to not creating new debt and it feels amazing! As I have been on this journey, I have learned that I really enjoy budgeting and finding ways to manage my money that do not make me feel restricted. Talking to other single mothers about how to have a better relationship with their money and breaking the pay check to pay check cycle has become such a passion, that I decided to make it my full time job. Improving one’s financial situation and learning what method works best is not one size fits all and it can be daunting to figure out on your own, especially when juggling a job and children by yourself. This is where I come in! I am passionate about helping single mothers find their footing so that they, too, can start living their best lives for themselves and their children. I want to share my passion with YOU!
