About a month ago, I had the opportunity to speak to a class at UNOH about financial planning for entrepreneurs.

The whole class was fantastic, but one student really stuck with me.

Macie Antle is pursuing a career in the high-performance automotive world—a field that’s still heavily male-dominated. But what impressed me even more than that was her passion.

I had the privilege of judging her business plan, and her vision is to create hands-on workshops that introduce women and girls to the world of high-performance automotive and racing.

As someone who’s passionate about helping women succeed in spaces where they’ve traditionally been underrepresented, this one hit home.

So if you’re in the racing or high-performance automotive community, connect with Macie. Encourage her. Mentor her. Help her bring this vision to life.

I have no doubt she’s going to do amazing things.

Keep chasing those dreams, Macie. The world needs more women like you. 💙🏁

“I’ll deal with it later.”

Ever notice how “later” has a way of becoming next month, next year, or sometimes never?

I see it all the time when it comes to finances.

We put off:
💰 Increasing retirement contributions

💰 Updating beneficiaries

💰 Creating a will

💰 Paying off debt

💰 Having important money conversations

The funny thing is, avoidance feels free.

It doesn’t cost us anything today.

But over time, it can become one of the most expensive financial habits we have.

The cost isn’t always dollars and cents.

Sometimes it’s missed opportunities.

Sometimes it’s added stress.

Sometimes it’s leaving our loved ones unprepared.

If there’s something financial you’ve been meaning to take care of, let this be your gentle nudge.

Don’t wait for the perfect time.

Take one small step this week.

You will be glad you did. ❤️

We had my daughter's high school grad party last Friday, and after celebrating this huge milestone, I've found myself thinking about what advice I'd give her as she heads into adulthood.

As a financial advisor, people probably think I'll say something about investing.

Yeah, I could. But really, the most important money lesson I hope she learns is this:

Learn to live on less than you make.

It sounds simple, but that one habit can change everything.

It helps you avoid debt, save for emergencies, invest for the future, and gives you choices when life throws curveballs your way.

Most people think that financial success comes from finding the perfect investment or making a lot of money.

Usually, it's built through small, intentional decisions made consistently over time.

Save a little.

Spend intentionally.

Don't try to keep up with everyone else.

And remember that money is a tool to help you build the life you want... It's not a measure of your worth.

To all the graduates heading into their next chapter, congratulations. And to all the parents wondering how time went by so fast.. I'm right there with you. ❤️

The tax man cometh… 😬

Let’s be honest—nobody gets excited about talking taxes.

But taxes are one of the biggest factors that can impact your financial future, which is why they should be part of every financial plan.

Questions like:

• Should we do Roth conversions?
• How should we withdraw money in retirement?
• How will our heirs be taxed when we pass assets on?

These conversations matter.

Financial planning isn’t just about saving and growing your money. It’s also about being smart with how you use it, so you can keep more of what you’ve worked so hard to build.

Its not just about how much you make or save. Its about how much you get to keep.

Had the pleasure of emceeing the Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce Wake, Rattle & Roll event this morning.

I’ll admit it—a 7:00 a.m. start on a Friday requires a level of enthusiasm that I don’t always possess before coffee. 😉

But every time I attend this event, I end up kicking myself for missing the others.

It’s always filled with great conversations, awesome local business leaders, and hugs from people I don’t get to see nearly often enough.

We also learned more about the incredible impact the Cenovus Lima Refinery has on our community and local economy.

Thanks to the Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce for having me back to emcee. Always a great morning and always worth the early alarm!

A little late posting this, but better late than never!

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak with students at University of Northwestern Ohio about financial planning for business owners.

What made it even more special is that I’m also a UNOH alum, so getting to come back and pour into the next generation of students felt pretty full circle.

Let me just say… these students were impressive. Sharp, engaged, full of ideas, and already thinking like future entrepreneurs. One young woman is even planning to start a business in the high-performance automotive industry, and you already know I love seeing women break into traditionally male-dominated fields.

It was such a rewarding experience getting to share financial knowledge with the next generation of business leaders and innovators.

And a huge thank you to Nathan Vandenbroek for inviting me to speak. You’re doing an amazing job investing in these young men and women, and it definitely shows.

There’s just something special about local businesses. ❤️

Last week I was still dragging from bronchitis and a sinus infection, but life doesn’t stop, so off to a coffee meeting I went.

I stopped into Winans Chocolates + Coffees in the Central District and grabbed a yummy coffee drink and a bag of my favorite coffee to take home.

I still wasn’t feeling great, but it’s amazing how small acts of kindness can turn your whole mood around. From offering to grind my coffee beans for me, to the adorable little heart made with cream on my coffee… it just made my day a little brighter when I really needed it.

That’s the thing about local businesses.
They don’t just provide a product or service. They create connection, community, and moments that matter.

So thank you to the small businesses out there who go the extra mile, even in ways you may not realize. It truly makes a difference.

Support local whenever you can. ❤️

Well… it’s been a minute since I’ve posted. 😅

Life has a way of slowing us down sometimes. Between being sick and catching back up at work, there hasn’t been much extra time left lately.

Last week was my final Savvy Women event of the season, and while it was a smaller group, it ended up being exactly what I needed.

I’ll admit, the perfectionist in me started overthinking the lower attendance. I wondered if people were over the events, if they were still relevant, or if I was somehow missing the mark. I was tired, didn’t feel well, and honestly considered canceling.

But I reminded myself that even if only a handful of women showed up, they still deserved for me to show up too. And I’m so glad I did.

There’s something really special about small groups. The conversations get deeper, the walls come down, and there’s more space for connection and vulnerability. We lingered long after the presentation talking about life, challenges, growth, and all the things women carry. It was pretty amazing.

A huge thank you to Brenda Fox at Hart Hall Banquet Center for donating the venue space, and to Rodonna Jackson for the wonderful catering and support. I’m so grateful for women who pour into other women. ❤️

Do I still want these events to grow? Absolutely. But this night was such a good reminder of the “why” behind all of it.

I can’t wait to see what next season brings

I hate blanket statements.

One I’ve heard for years is that if someone is wealthy, they must have done something shady to get there… or that wealth itself is somehow bad.

But money is just a tool.

Like any tool, it can be used for good or bad depending on the person using it.

Without wealth, businesses wouldn’t grow, charities wouldn’t exist, and many families wouldn’t have opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t have.

The issue isn’t money. The issue is greed, dishonesty, and misuse… and those things exist at every income level.

There is no shame in building wealth.

What matters is what we do with it.

Last week was a big one for me.

I was honored to be named a finalist for the ATHENA Leadership Award at the Lima Allen County Chamber of Commerce annual awards gala.

While I didn’t take home the award, being recognized alongside so many incredible women leaders in our community — both past and present — is something I will never take lightly.

When I started this crazy journey of becoming a financial advisor, my goal was actually pretty simple: help women feel more confident, informed, and empowered with their money.

That was it.

So to be recognized by my community simply for doing work that I genuinely love means more than I can put into words.

I’m incredibly grateful for the women who trust me, support me, learn alongside me, and allow me to do this work every day.

Award or no award, this work matters.

And I’ll continue showing up and doing what I feel called to do.
