From our Family, to Yours

Our Family is passionate about helping families, just like ours, experience the joy and freedom that finances can offer rather than being consumed by the stress it can cause.

Our Story - Our Passion

Our story began in our early 20s when my husband and I entered parenthood with no preparation. Like new parents, pressured by societal expectations, we got prepared. We wanted the best for our daughter, so we upgraded our car, moved into a bigger house, and furnished the newly acquired space and baby room on credit cards. At the time, we didn’t understand these decisions had underlying costs.

When Skyelynn arrived, we thought we would be prepared. We did everything right. Our new car is way more reliable than the car we’d been driving for years. Our house is so big we didn’t know what to do with all the space; we could even have the in-laws over to visit any time and stay as long as they wanted. We had everything we needed and more.

All it took was a short-unpaid maternity leave to shake our new Family’s safety and security. Lifestyle creep took over – We had less income and inflated expenses; we felt the weight of our choices. We didn’t know what we could afford or if we would make it to the next payday. Stress, doubt, uncertainty, anger, and sadness filled our home. Gone was the peace and excitement we felt for months leading to the arrival of our baby girl.

This was not the environment either of us wanted – we knew that – but we didn’t know how to fix it. My husband and I opened up to one another about our money habits. This is when we learned our real issue wasn’t just income – our values weren’t aligned financially, our spending habits and decisions lacked planning and purpose.

The awareness of where our money was going and the realization of the impact our finances had on our Family was the wake-up call that led us to dive into personal finance. As we started our journey, we read books, took courses, and began regularly communicating about our financial goals.

Planning and budgeting became a passion, and our Family began to change, grow. Gone is the stress, doubt, uncertainty, anger, and sadness that once filled our home. Now, we want to help other families, just like ours, find clarity, purpose, and peace in their finances – so you, too, can prepare for the future without sacrificing your present.
