    People would rather tell you about their intimate life in detail before talking about their finances.

    Face it, money is taboo.

    In my three decades of working with people in their most private struggles; clients sitting across from me in deep pain or observing people on facebook freely debating politics and religion, or when I speak at universities, corporations or hospitals…there is one universal truth; most people will tell you about their intimate life easier than they will their bank about. They hold incredible shame, fear and confusion when it comes to money, even if they are well-resourced.

    By the time they talk to me, they are overwhelmed. Can you relate?

    That’s why I hold a free monthly support group based off of my books; you don’t need to purchase the books (though it’s easier to dive in if you do) as I offer standalone lessons each session.

    Get to know the books and me, below. Invites for the group are held within the newsletter, so sign up soon to catch the next session.
