Managing Editor

"If only there were more hours in the day."

I used to say this to myself ALL the time.

I was convinced I just needed a little extra time to tackle my to-do list. 

Or a new planner to fine-tune my time management skills.

But no matter how many planners I purchased or how many all-nighters I pulled, nothing changed.

I still felt crushed by competing deadlines.

I cancelled plans last minute, because I had too much on my plate.

I woke up early.  I worked late.

I thought if I could just work harder, I’d get there.  I’d get it all done.

The higher-ups would be happy.  Which meant I could be happy, having finally received their approval.

Turns out . . .

You can't hustle your way to happiness.

Believe me . . . I tried.

Sound familiar? If so, here’s what I want you to know.

Through all of that trying, I learned something they don’t teach you in law school.

The solve for stress? 

It isn't TIME management.

It’s MIND management. 

That’s right.  You don’t need a new planner.  You need a new plan.  

One where your well-being, not your work-load, gets to be the top priority.  

Sounds impossible?  It’s not.  I’ll show you.  

I work solely 1-on-1 with attorneys who are over the overwhelm.  

I help them start living lives with less stress and far more fulfillment. 

If you're ready to start living that life, let's get started.

Lawyer Money Coach

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP

I’m a former Biglaw associate who knows what it’s like to make a lot of money and still feel broke.

I also know what it’s like to want to make a change in your life and feel constrained by your financial situation.

My mission is to help you master your money so you can create freedom and choice in your life.

Time is our most limited resource. Money is a tool you can use to literally buy back your time.

I can show you how.

*MY STORY*

At the end of 2016, I was preparing to head back to work after having my first child and couldn't imagine going back to the Biglaw schedule I had been keeping up as a junior associate.

My firm offered a reduced hours policy—an option for associates to bill a percentage of the annual required hours for the same percentage of their salary—and I was considering taking advantage of it.

The problem was, when my husband and I looked at our finances, we were over $670,000 in debt with a negative $342,000 net worth. Almost $500,000 of it was student loans.

Add on the interest my husband’s loans accrued while he was in residency and the loan we took out to upgrade from a coupe to an SUV when our second child was born, and our total debt was around $725,000.

We couldn't afford to make the changes I was envisioning. We needed the money, but I realized my work schedule wouldn't allow me to be as present as I wanted to be with my kids.

I consumed everything I could about personal finance and getting out of debt—books, blogs, podcasts, YouTube videos. We used that research to make a plan to turn our finances around and went to work executing it.

As of August 2021, we have paid off all of our student loans and built our net worth to over half a million dollars!

The work we did on our finances also allowed me to drop down to 50% at work during the pandemic (I got to take advantage of the reduced hours policy after all!) and ultimately leave the law to pursue my love of coaching lawyers on their money full-time.

The biggest thing I've learned is that money is a tool that we can use to buy back our time. We can design the lives we want to live when we use that tool correctly.

Time is the only resource we can't get back. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Now I teach lawyers just like you all the things we learned so they can improve their own finances and unlock the power that comes with having complete control of your money.
