About Me
After spending 15 years navigating my own journey to retirement, I reached financial independence and retired early at age 50. But once I got there, I realized something unexpected: my true passion wasn’t just about crossing the finish line, it was about helping other women and couples do the same.
Today, I’m a retirement coach, podcast host, and financial educator on a mission to make retirement possible for people who feel behind, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start.
I created Wealthy After 40, a personal finance podcast designed to help you understand your money, ditch the stress, and start planning for retirement with clarity and confidence. Because after two years of actually living in retirement, I can tell you it’s about so much more than just hitting a number in your savings account. It’s about aligning your finances, values, and lifestyle so you can enjoy the freedom you’ve worked so hard for.
Over the years, I’ve discovered that retirement isn’t one big decision, it’s a series of small, intentional choices. That’s why I help you build personalized systems for saving, spending, and planning that reflect your life, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
A Little More About Me
I’m a mom of one amazing daughter, a total numbers nerd, and an avid fiction reader (yes, I even track my reading habits in spreadsheets!).
Before I retired, I spent years teaching budgeting to law enforcement professionals. And let me tell you, if I could get them to learn how to budget and maybe even be good at it, I know I can help you learn to manage your money with confidence.
Whether you’re looking for clear steps to boost your retirement savings, want a supportive guide on your side, or just need a little help sorting through the noise, I’m here to walk with you, one aligned decision at a time.
