As women, we juggle many roles—leaders, mothers, entrepreneurs, and friends. But there’s one skill that amplifies our impact in every area: financial literacy. Mastering your finances is about more than numbers; it’s about empowerment. With confidence in your financial knowledge, you can make informed decisions, advocate for your worth, and unlock opportunities—both at work and at home.

2024 was great, but 2025 is our year to take control, build stability, and create lasting success. Let’s commit to financial mastery together and become the powerhouses we’re meant to be.

The holidays can get busy, but they don’t have to feel overwhelming. Instead of rushing through the season, take time to slow down and savor the moments. Focus on what really matters—connection, laughter, and joy. It’s okay if everything isn’t perfect. Embrace the mess and the imperfections, and remember that the holidays are about making memories, not checking off a to-do list. By simplifying, asking for help when needed, and practicing gratitude, you can create space to truly enjoy the season.

As a Marine spouse, I've learned that the journey alongside someone who carries invisible wounds—trauma, PTSD, survivor's guilt—requires a strength I never knew I had. It’s not always easy, but it’s deeply rewarding and profoundly transformative. The path we walk together is one of growth, patience, and love, and in the process, I’ve discovered powerful lessons that I believe can help anyone walking alongside someone in pain—whether through military service or any other form of hardship.

In this journey, I’ve come to understand that PTSD and survivor’s guilt are not the sum of who my husband is. They are parts of his story, but they don’t define him. Even in the hardest moments, I remind myself that the man I married—the brave, loyal, and capable Marine—is still there. And through it all, I've learned that sometimes, just being there is enough.

Healing isn't linear, but with patience, faith, and a lot of love, it is possible. Whether you're a spouse, a parent, or a friend, there’s strength in knowing we don't have to face these battles alone. Here’s what I’ve learned from walking beside someone I love, and how it’s made me stronger, too.
