Join the free Financial Resilience Rules webinar — your introduction to the 7 Badass Money Mama Rules. Then choose the deep-dive classes that matter most to you, at your own pace, à la carte. No package required. No pressure. Just practical tools for building a money life that holds up.
What It Is
The Financial Resilience Summer Series is a free intro webinar plus 7 standalone deep-dive classes — each one built around a single Badass Money Mama Financial Resilience Rule, from spending and saving to protection and paying it forward.
Each class tackles one rule through a focused live session, practical tools, and real talk about how it applies to your actual life. No fluff, no filler — just the stuff that moves the needle.
This isn’t a program you have to commit to all at once. Pick the free webinar, then choose the classes that matter most to you — à la carte, at your own pace, on your terms.
Who It’s For
The Financial Resilience Summer Series is built for people who are done avoiding their money and ready to actually do something about it — working parents, single moms, mission-driven professionals, people navigating divorce, and anyone tired of financial advice that ignores how life actually works.
Created by a single mom and former federal civil rights leader who semi-retired at 49, this program reflects the realities of complex lives, competing priorities, and money histories that don’t fit a tidy spreadsheet.
These tools work for anyone — but they’re especially powerful for people who worry they’re bad with money and are ready to start charting a new course forward.
Why It Works
The Financial Resilience Summer Series works because it treats money problems as story problems, not math problems. Each class builds practical financial skills while unpacking the beliefs, reactions, and patterns that have been running the show without your permission.
Sessions are offered live on Zoom and designed to stand alone — so you can start anywhere, skip what doesn’t apply, and come back to the rest when you’re ready. Flexibility is built in, not bolted on.
And because each class goes deep on a single rule, you leave with real tools you can use immediately — not a notebook full of notes you’ll never open again.
Financial resilience is your ability to withstand, adapt to, and bounce back from money shocks — divorce, job loss, medical emergencies, inflation. It’s not about perfect spreadsheets or having it all figured out. It’s about making clear, grounded decisions while navigating change, pressure, and competing priorities.
I work with women managing real complexity — demanding careers, caregiving, divorce, business launches, high-stakes decisions — often all at once. Financial resilience is what keeps you steady, protects your options, and lets you lead with confidence no matter what’s happening around you.
My approach blends executive coaching with practical financial strategy — cash flow, credit, benefits, and long-term planning through a real-life lens. So your money supports your leadership, your values, and the next chapter you’re building.
This isn’t about chasing wealth. It’s about agency, stability, and momentum — so your money becomes a tool, not a source of stress.

Purpose, responsibility, and legacy.
Being a mama shapes how I lead, teach, and coach. This work is about stewarding the lives we’re responsible for and building futures rooted in values, sustainability, and long-term care.
