From $49K in Debt to Financial Clarity: What Actually Worked for Me
Real-life money moves from a nurse who was done starting over.
I’m not a financial advisor.
I’m a nurse, a single mom of three, and a woman who paid off nearly $50,000 in credit card debt, built an emergency fund, and learned how to invest, without a finance degree or a single dollar of family money.
This post is for women who are starting late, tired of financial shame, and ready to build real wealth without the performance.
I teach women how to stop spinning, start investing, and build wealth.
I’m a nurse, a mom of three, and the creator of Investing Her Way.
I didn’t grow up with money. I didn’t marry into it. And I didn’t manifest it.
What I did do was pay off $49,907.56 in credit card debt, build an emergency fund, and learn to invest, without a finance degree or family money.
It all started with pure frustration and a refusal to believe that life was just about paying bills and starting over every damn month.
I’m the financial strategist who can’t pick a lane.
I write about money, mindset, burnout, debt, investing, and rebuilding in real time.
If your brain doesn’t do “one thing at a time,” this is for you.
If you’ve ever worn the same shirt three days in a row,
or skipped your only meal because your kid ate off your plate,
you’re not behind.
You’ve been surviving.
I see you.
What You’ll Find Here
Investing explained in plain English
Step-by-step guidance, even if you're starting late
Burnout-proof money moves (for women who are tired but serious)
Real numbers from my life (screenshots, not theory)
Education, not advice
This isn’t financial advice.
It’s what worked for a nurse with three kids and zero patience for “just budget better.”
You won’t find any “boss babe, you got this!” energy, because I’m too tired to be fake.
What you will find is real, actionable value for women ready to take control without the performance.
We work quietly here, building wealth behind the scenes, on our terms.
Who This Is For
You’ve survived, but now you want to thrive
You’re tired of influencers acting like money is simple
You need a plan that works with:
Mom life
Burnout
Late starts
This is for the woman who’s done everything, except this.
She’s not trying to look rich.
She’s trying to be free.
This isn’t lifestyle advice. This is financial triage.
