Because He did it to me. Twice.
I am a wife of over thirty years, a mother of two beautiful daughters, and a woman who genuinely loves life — warm weather, fine dining, spa days, dancing, fashion, and a good podcast. My husband and I are proud empty nesters, spending our seasons between Michigan and Arizona, fully living the financial fulfillment we spent years building together.
But before that picture came together, I had to be willing to let go of the version I had planned.
I started my career as a Financial Advisor at a national brokerage firm. I had the credentials, the plan, and the trajectory. Then, just two months after my youngest daughter was born, everything shifted. She was diagnosed with failure to thrive — a term I had never heard before, and one that stopped my world completely. At only two months old and nine pounds, she had stopped growing. For a month, she was hospitalized while I juggled work, studied for my Series 7 licensing exam, and prayed with everything I had. Failing that exam meant losing my job. Not working was not an option for our family.
From the outside, I was holding it all together. On the inside, I was learning what it truly meant to surrender.
I surrendered my daughter's health to God. I surrendered my career to God. And in the most overwhelming season of my life, I discovered that surrender was not weakness. It was the most powerful financial and spiritual decision I would ever make. My daughter healed. I passed my exam. And something shifted in me that never shifted back.


Then God asked me to let go again.
A few years later, life looked good on paper. My husband and I were both advancing in our careers. Our daughters were three and six. But on the inside, my heart was aching. I prayed the kind of honest, desperate prayer that asks God how to be the mother I wanted to be, support my husband, and still do the work I loved. I journaled. I sought wisdom. I waited.
The very next day, I was offered a new position. At half my previous salary.
Everything in my financial mind said no. But something deeper said yes. With faith, obedience, and my husband beside me, I took the leap. That decision required everything we had built together as stewards. It required a spending plan that reflected our values, not just our income. It required letting go of what the world said success should look like and trusting what God said it could become.
It was the most Spirit-led financial decision I had ever made. And it changed everything.
I did not become a financial coach because I had a perfect financial story. I became a coach because I know what it feels like to sense God calling you somewhere that does not make financial sense on the surface and to wonder whether you have the faith and the foundation to follow. I know what it is like to make good money and still feel like something is missing. To hold everything together on the outside while quietly wondering if you are on the right path.
I also know what is waiting on the other side of that obedience.
When I sit with you in a coaching session, I bring more than my AFC® designation and over three decades of financial expertise. I bring a testimony that the tension you are feeling right now — between where you are and where God is calling you — is not a sign that you are behind.
It is a sign that you are ready.
"Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out."

You did not land here by accident. If something in my story stirred something in yours, that is worth paying attention to.
Your introductory call is a simple, no-obligation conversation that just might be the step that changes everything. I would love to walk that journey with you.
