Get to Know Our Story, Part 1 – How We Transformed Our Lives from Paycheck to Paycheck to Building Wealth

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on our own financial journey. My husband Kevin joins me as we revisit what life looked like before we discovered budgeting and financial intention.

From the stress of living paycheck to paycheck to the habits we unknowingly developed, we explore the highs and lows of our early relationship with money. It wasn’t all bad—there was laughter, love, and luck—but we were missing the vision, awareness, and tools that could have made all the difference.

Join us as we share our story, and stay tuned for the next part of this series, where we’ll reveal what finally sparked our journey to financial transformation.
