I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday.
After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business.
Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances.
“If you're able to block off some time and say, I need this time to do it, but you might wanna look into it and just kind of figure out which route works best for you to kind of get some of this stuff paid off temporarily so that you're not stressing, you know, at the end of the year. So if you have the mindset that it's just temporary for that angle, so you can be less stressed whenever you're not getting some as much money coming in each month, then that might help you get through it.”
