wealth begins within
I believe
My old limiting beliefs and misconceptions regarding money might sound familiar to you:
- I have to work HARD for money
- Money doesn’t grow on trees
- I’m lucky if I have a good job and enough money to get by
- Maybe one day my money ship will come in
- Money is the root of all evil
Those money stories became my money beliefs, which had me making some pretty terrible financial decisions in my 20s.
my story
- Overwhelming student loan and credit card debt
- No short-term savings to fall back on and living paycheck to paycheck
- A 401k plan that I neither understood nor contributed to adequately
- Stressed about money all the time with no one to turn to for guidance
- Ashamed of my financial situation
- Lacking a clear vision of my life and financial future
As the years went by and I climbed my way up the corporate ladder, my income continued to rise, but I still had little to show for it.
my story
01
I was tired of working hard, yet feeling like I was just getting by. There had to be another way to live. I intuitively knew that if I really wanted things to change for me, it wasn’t just about making more money, but about changing my relationship with it.
I read personal finance books and blogs and did my best to apply the tips and tricks, but it all felt piecemeal and I still wasn’t sure if wealth was in the cards for me.
When my 30s rolled around, I found myself working for a self-made billionaire, and the quest to improve my financial outlook took a turn. I had never been exposed to someone that had both inner and outer wealth.
It was through this exposure that I received the best financial education. I observed how they made financial decisions and managed their money, and then I applied those learnings to my situation.
my story

- They made mindful decisions about their spending
- They spent lavishly on the experiences that brought them joy
- They bought value, not things
- They gave money away freely to the people they cared about
- They took their time, shopped around, and negotiated
The bottom line:
They weren’t just getting by; they were living abundantly – yet mindfully.

And then something happened…
I created a vision for my life and started making smarter financial decisions that aligned with the way I wanted to live, and my net worth grew exponentially.
No more playing small or holding limiting money mindsets. Instead, I developed optimism and the belief that the world was full of possibilities
for me and my money.

Their lack of basic money knowledge opened my eyes. And my heart.
Before I knew it, life had led me to my role as a money mentor for young women whose shoes I had once walked in. And now it has led me to develop my signature program for living a blissful and abundant life: Wealth Begins Within.
