From My Journey to Your Glow Up

Your Money Story Isn’t Fixed—It’s Just Getting Started

Let’s get real: Most of us didn’t grow up with a financial roadmap handed to us. I sure didn’t.

As the oldest of eight kids, money was tight, and so were the conversations around it. But my mom, a true force of nature, taught me the essentials: how to stretch a dollar, work hard, and make the most of what you have. Those lessons became my secret superpower.

By 2005, I had taken those values and turned them into action. I paid off all my credit card and student loan debt. Without the added expense of a car, I built a safety net: a full emergency fund and a $5,000 savings cushion that I used to open my first brokerage account. That single decision kicked off a self-taught career in finance—and eventually led me to trading desks around the world.

But here’s what changed everything for me. After creating a financial surplus, I was hungry to learn how to put that money to work. That’s when I had a powerful revelation: understanding money is only partly about the numbers. The rest of it is a mindset. It’s about the confidence to believe that wealth is for you, not just for “other people,” and realizing that money doesn’t have to be stressful, confusing, or off-limits.

Looking back, I realize I started my “money glow up” long before I even knew what to call it.

✨ How hidden money beliefs shape your financial reality
My early lessons gave me a strong foundation. I discovered that understanding money is about more than just numbers—it’s also about your mindset. We all have hidden beliefs about money, often formed in childhood, that shape our financial decisions. For me, it was realizing that I could build wealth for myself.

✨ Why confidence (not just numbers) is the key to building wealth
I’ve learned that confidence is a critical part of building wealth. It’s the belief that you can take control of your finances and make smart decisions. It’s the confidence to invest, to negotiate your salary, and to ask for help when you need it. The numbers are just tools; it’s your confidence that makes the difference.

✨ The mindset shift that takes you from surviving to thriving
This mindset shift is what takes you from just surviving to truly thriving. It’s the realization that money doesn’t have to be stressful or confusing. It can be a tool for building the life you want.

If you’ve ever felt that quiet frustration of doing “all the right things” but still not getting ahead, you’re not alone. It’s not about what you’re doing wrong; it’s about changing your beliefs and building the confidence to build the life you deserve.
