Normally we don’t go quite so all-out with tours and events, but this is the way the last month has turned out for us!! Beyond the learning, wow-factor and entertainment, it’s also about who we enjoyed these adventures with!
1 Jade Elephant at Park96 was a big highlight because we know the bass player personally! Rocked it!
2 Hubby has wanted to see Sam Roberts for years!
3 He-Man was a surprise win for everyone in the family except the guy that knew anything about He-Man! 😆
4 Come From Away was so fantastic! I’m still listening to the soundtrack, and it still gets in my feels! ❤️
5 Big Muddy Outlaws tour (they hid stolen horses in the badlands of Sask) was neat to finally do with my parents
6 Bengough Bull Riding was a fun campground surprise adventure! $20 each, well spent!
7 David Lee Roth was STILL an amazing but cheesy showman! So many laughs and he was having his best day on that stage!
8 Billy Idol was the headliner and rocked it, and I learned to appreciate his guitar player’s musicianship
9 Passion Play at the Badlands Amphitheatre with the whole fam was hot and long but also good!
10 Snowbirds at the Red Deer Regional Airshow was fantastic! Also the fighter jets that rumbled our trailer!
11 Nate Bargatze was fun! Probably our last time at the Saddledome too!
13 No cost but honorary mention of the FREE Mother Nature show while camping in Sask!
How many of these have you seen? What would you want to add to this kind of eclectic mix of experiences!?
Phew! Now we need to go camping and get away from some crowds! 😉

We told absolutely nobody when it happened. 🤫🏡
Ten years ago, we were camping in BC with the kids. It was payday, and we had to drive our truck to get cell service. We were excited to make the call to the bank to get the exact dollar AND penny amount, to fully pay off our house! 🔥
No party, no announcement. Just me and my husband at the campfire, cheering to our FREEDOM! ❤️ Our home was 100% ours. 🤩
As a CPA, I’ll admit the math of paying it early wasn’t optimized. A spreadsheet says to invest that “extra” money instead. But as a financial coach, I know money is more than math. We love the cash flow freedom, AND our investments were already solid! 💃
When you’re looking for a financial coach, don’t just look for someone who reads the textbooks. Look for a coach who has actually DONE it. Someone who has executed the strategy, and built the type of life you want to live.
For a decade, I’ve lived the freedom I now help my clients build. 💪 Our mortgage payment funds have been redirected to travel. ✈️ We are enjoying our “rich life!” And last month we celebrated a decade mortgage free, camping again! (Funny, not even IN the house!! 😜)
I’d love to hear from YOU!
What is your next big, “impossible” financial milestone you are working toward right now? I’m here to celebrate ALL of the wins! Opening a TFSA or heck even a HISA! Debt freedom! Or my clients last night who have joined the “two comma club!” Maybe it is full financial independence!? 🔥
Drop it in the comments!

Money transformations loading!!
Let me say it again for those in the back:
💥It is NOT about the math!! 💥
This lady client had suffered trauma in her life and it was subsequently linked to money, which created a very messy relationship to her finances. 💔
She decided she was done with keeping her head in the sand, and she wanted to be brave and take control. We went deep with her money stories, spending a LOT of time talking through feelings and obstacles. She avoided, she was fearful, she took crazy risks and navigated on hope.
Now she was ready to heal! ❤️🩹
We were both so excited to see how she answered this quiz AFTER my coaching, and WOW! 🤩 I couldn’t have designed a stronger transformation!
She is now ON TOP of her finances! Managing cash flow and merging households 😍, and investing! She tracks and plans and has EASE. 🙌 My gosh I’m SO proud of her! 💃
Proof that my coaching program really does change lives! She has learned and implemented and I trust her to FLY! 🔥
If you want some of THAT, check out my website for my private financial coaching. All the details including time commitment and cost are online!
I know it works because I’ve had success with nearly 200 private coaching clients just like this lady! 💃
I onboard clients all year long, whenever YOU are ready!

Initially, I was going to make some smartass quip about how rich my life was, that here I was defrosting my garage freezers today. So sexy. Jealous yet? 🤣
Then I thought about it, and it really IS a luxury.
We DO have food at home. A LOT of food. Thousands of dollars of food. Months of meat and fruit in these freezers. So many options. This is rich!
We can afford to buy in bulk. Like that side of beef. Or the gallons of Saskatoon berries we pick in the summer. I grew up on a farm, unable to stop at a grocery store multiple times a week, we stock up!
We have the space in our garage to have TWO medium chest freezers. We can afford to keep them plugged in constantly. Our home is large enough we can use this space and electricity for this frozen food.
I actually have TIME on a random Monday to defrost these freezers. I don’t work full time, in fact it is VERY part time and when I want. After I did these freezers I met a friend for a river walk before taking in recycling and errands. Most people need weekends for this. Luxury.
So here I am, living my rich life today! I broke a wooden spoon banging on the ice. 😆 My fingers were too cold to unlock the fingerprint door lock. I swept and washed and even though there’s still rust, how fortunate we are that these old freezers still work and our food is preserved. ❤️
Also we had roast beast and veggies in the slow cooker and what a delicious dinner to come home to. 😋 Now I hope that the rest of my family keeps everything ORGANIZED in here! One is literally just beef and berries! 😁
Do you have big freezers like this? How do you organize them? Do you have an upright one? I’d like one just so it’s easier to see everything, but wouldn’t hold as much. Taking inventory to cycle through is always a good plan! When did you last defrost them?
What are other hidden signs of a “rich life” you’ve taken notice of recently? ⬇️
