Car payments are one of the biggest drains on monthly cash flow. 💰🚘

The average payment is now $726/month, and many loans last 6–7 years.

That’s thousands of dollars leaving your budget every year.

The ultimate goal is no car payment at all. But if you do need to finance a vehicle, making smart decisions can help lower the total cost and protect your budget.

March is Women’s History Month, and I love taking a moment to celebrate the incredible women building businesses, leading families, and creating financial freedom.

Women are doing amazing things in the world of money — from growing businesses to becoming powerful long-term investors.

I’m so grateful to work with women every day who are taking control of their finances and building the life they want.

Here’s to the women who lead, grow, and make an impact. 💛

Do you have kiddos that you are planning Christmas gifts for?

I’m sure you are thinking something different then the ones I suggest here 😂BUT preparing for your little ones future no matter there current age can be such a blessing both for them AND for you!

Saving for your kids future can do several things.

✨take the burden off of you to pay for large expenses all at once. Saving gives you the space to ramp up the amount so you are ready to go!

✨Gives you the opportunity to teach kids the hard work and discipline it takes to be financially prepared for things.

✨Gives you the opportunity to teach your kids how money can grow as you consistently contribute. Just like watering a plant. The more consistently you tend to it, the more it will flourish!

There are several options in how you can save and invest for your child. If you want help and support on which options are right for you, let’s chat!

It’s important to sit down with someone to give you the individualized guidance before you make a choice. I connect my clients to the best resources for this all the time. We will work as a team to make sure your plan makes sense for you!

Have you currently been bombarded with Black Friday Deals and Holiday Shopping Marketing since the day after Halloween? I hear you! 🙌🏼

You are talking to a girl who loves the holidays and a good theme over here. I love nothing more than walking into my favorite stores and seeing all the cute things! Home Decor, Clothing, Kids Toys, etc.

It can be really hard to find gratitude in the season that promotes having more and that that “more” is going to make your holidays special.

I want you to enjoy your holiday season with the ability to “indulge” in things you’d like to do or get without compromising your financial wellness!

If you are working on debt elimination, budgeted planning/track, spending habits, building your savings or seeing your investments grow, you can STILL do that AND enjoy the holidays with some fun!✨

STORY TIME!

Fitness Coaching was my first love when it came to my business. I have had a deep passion for health and wellness ever since I was a young girl.

As a mom with young kids, it brings me so much joy working with women to help them feel strong and confident in their skin!

There is a lot of stuff out there that can make you feel like your body has to look a certain way and if it doesn’t, it can be interpreted that “I’m not healthy”. This is NOT true!

Your lifestyle choices are what define your health and wellness, not what you feel you look like in the mirror!

It’s important that part of your definition of success is that you made the time and did the thing! You did the workout, you made the healthy meal, you cut off work early to go to bed at a decent hour. Be proud of your lifestyle choices and cheers to you for getting it done!

Thank you so much for sharing !!

WHERE DO I BEGIN ON MY HEALTH JOURNEY?!

If you feel overwhelmed on where to begin in your health journey, I get it!

There are SO many elements of our health to address that it can create this pressure to do it all ALL. All at once, overnight.

What happens then? We get frustrated because there are so many changes to keep up with and habits / behaviors to adjust too.

I’ve categorized my top 5 areas that I like to address with clients. Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition, Mental / Emotional, and Toxin Exposure.

We don’t do these all at once, but we pick an area to focus on and pick ONE habit at a time.

Give yourself the grace to take it slow, pick one thing to focus on, and begin!

What area of your health are you focused on right now? Reply in the comments!

😴 = Sleep
🏋️ = Exercise
🍎 = Nutrition
🧘‍♀️ = Mental / Emotional
❌ = Toxin Exposure

STORY TIME!

I have gotten the amazing opportunity to work with hundreds of people since starting my business 5 years ago.

Connecting with my clients and hearing how coaching impacted their journey and CONTINUES on over the years is my absolute favorite part of what I get to do.

Nothing makes me happier than hearing from clients successes and progress years beyond working with them.

This client emailed me a few weeks ago sharing her progress. I couldn’t help but share!

Her dedication and commitment to her goals led her to stay committed through her actions. She had a plan, and she did it!

Congrats on your amazing success my friend!! 💸😀

Small changes lead to big results.

One of my all-time favorite books, "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, is a powerful reminder that the small, consistent actions we take can lead to lasting transformations — whether it’s in your health, your finances, or your overall well-being.

If you're on a journey to build better habits and transform your life, I highly recommend giving this book a read. It’s a game-changer!

🎉 Core Life Habits just turned 5 years old—and wow, what a ride it’s been!

In 2020, I left my “secure” job (just after being promoted!) to start a business that felt aligned with what I was meant to do—help people feel strong, confident, and in control of their health and finances.

Since then, I’ve been honored to walk alongside so many incredible clients as they’ve:
💸 Paid off debt
🏡 Bought their first homes
🧘🏽‍♀️ Found energy and strength in their bodies
✈️ Saved for dream vacations
🍽 Made better food choices
💪🏽 Learned to lift with confidence—and look in the mirror with pride

I also want to thank my clients for trusting me to help them reach their goals.

This work means everything to me, and I’m just getting started.

If you’ve been thinking about finally taking that next step with your health or money—this is your sign.
Let’s talk.

Let’s be real—sometimes doing the tiny habit that helps us feel better or move forward feels harder than it should. 🫠 So instead? We “draw 25” and put it off for another day.

But here’s the good news: building habits doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Start small. Keep it simple. And give yourself grace in the process. ❤️

If you're ready to stop drawing 25 and start stacking wins instead, I’ve got your back.
