This is the audio version of my book, recorded in my own voice.The story wasn’t originally meant to become a book, but over time I realized many of the conversations I was having about money, work, and the decisions that shape our lives shared common threads.Rather than try to explain the problem, I wanted to share the story behind what I’ve built — the messy, funny, and sometimes painful moments that come with building something and continuing when the path isn’t clear.If you prefer listening to stories rather than reading them, you can hear the full book here.

🎧 Full Audiobook: And Then I Almost Died This is the audiobook version of the story I wasn’t supposed to write… but did anyway. A near-death experience. A startup built on belief and chaos. And one woman’s unfiltered, s

Welcome to And Then I Almost Died — a raw, real, slightly unhinged audiobook and podcast series about the messy, emotional side of money, trauma, and building something that talks the way people listen. This trailer is t
Show notes
Yep. It was written in two days. A founder, a laptop, and a very patient AI. This story came out raw—chaotic, tear-streaked, caffeinated, and driven by unreasonable hope. You’ve made it this far—through the mess, the fea

This one’s for the people behind the scenes. To Mike—my steady, quiet anchor. To my sons—who didn’t sign up for this chaos but stayed anyway. To the friends I ghosted—you were never forgotten. And to you, the reader—than
Show notes
This was supposed to be a screenplay. A story about survival, mothers, resilience. Instead, it became this: A book about building something for people like me— the ones holding it together emotionally, while trying to su
Show notes
Some people build for ambition. I built from purpose. No personal brand, no podcast circuit, no book as marketing tool—until now. This chapter is about leaning into my WHY, not because it’s perfect… but because it’s real
Show notes
I used to call this work “like being a social worker for money.” And I meant it. But somewhere along the way, I stopped saying it. Because it didn’t fit the category. Because it made people uncomfortable. But it’s still
Show notes
This is the story I never let myself fully feel. A medical detour I used to tell as a punchline—until I realized it wasn’t just the setup. It was the point. I almost died. And in the pause that followed, I found clarity.

This is the chapter where survival turns into possibility. COVID cracked things open—and I said yes. No roadmap, no investors—just an idea, a belief, and a little courage to follow the spark. If you’ve ever wondered if a

I didn’t grow up staying in places—I ran when things got hard. But this chapter? It’s about what happens when you stop running. When you stay. Even in a job you didn’t plan or an industry you didn’t choose. Sometimes the

This isn’t about failing to fit in. It’s about realizing the system was never built for you in the first place. This chapter kicks off the part of the story where I finally stopped trying to speak fluent “finance” and st

This part isn’t about triumph. It’s not a comeback story. It’s about the moments you keep going — not because you’re brave, but because you don’t have a choice. This is the war-zone version of caregiving, money, and midl
Show notes
I didn’t plan any of this. Not the math-avoidant journalism major. Not the last-minute cross-country move. Not the random temp job that led me straight into financial services. This is about survival instincts, not strat

“There is no innovation…without failure.” — Brené Brown Chapter 8 is about falling short—and discovering clarity. I started building before the hospital story—even before near death—and thought the course was the answer.
