I gave my 20s to diapers and dishes. My 30s to meetings and mergers. My 40s to a company that could replace me in a day. At 50, I did something radical. I gave something to myself. A Skool community. A Place for me and my women peeps An undependent voice. A space that’s mine. It is never too late to stop living for everyone else. It is never too late to build my own empire. I am an Undependent Woman. I am using my voice to help my sisters rise. I am using my knowledge to help women heal. I am building wealth they cannot take away from me. I am changing the world one conversation at a time. I am wealthier every single day I live. I invite you to take part in the mission Join us as we change the world together

I just completed the 5 day wealth challenge and all I can say is WOW. I learned so much and It's got me really thinking. I need to make some changes!

It’s coming toothe end of the year and I want to celebrate you… and your success… But don’t be shy listed below… Make it real by owning it

True story from my days as a staff OT: We had this annual “Let’s talk about your 401(k)” meeting. Picture 27 women in a conference room, coffee in hand, ready to pretend we understood finances. The rep starts talking about yields, diversification, risk tolerance… and I swear half the room went into that polite, glazed-over “I’m listening but also leaving my body” face. Out of all 27 of us, only ONE woman actually knew what was going on. (spoiler alert, it wasn't me!) She had charts. She had notes. She was asking questions that sounded like they belonged on CNBC. And the rest of us? We basically formed a quiet pact: Just tell us what you’re doing, and we’ll do that. Didn’t matter if we were 25 or 55.Didn’t matter if we were scared of risk or thought we were Beyoncé on the stock market stage. Nope. We all just copied her like we were taking a test we definitely didn’t study for. Looking back… wow. What a strategy. Not “pathetic,” but definitely “I hope future-me never finds out about this” energy. But here’s the truth: Most of us were never taught this stuff. I was taught to go to college, work hard, and save a lot (whatever that means). And honestly, we were too busy with our patients to take the time to study up on finances too! So we did the next best thing: we followed the girl who looked like she had her life together. Now, after learning from Vickie, I am the woman who actually wants to know what’s happening with my money. Now I raise my hand. Now I ask the questions. Because being an Undependent Woman isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about not outsourcing your whole financial future to the one coworker who remembered her notebook. We can laugh at it now… “Please tell me I’m not the only one who used to smile, nod, and pray no one asked me about risk tolerance.”
