In a world where financial security is often dictated by outdated rules and rigid systems, many find themselves feeling stuck—despite doing everything “right.” They budget, save, and follow conventional wisdom, yet financial freedom remains elusive. Women, in particular, often experience the weight of societal expectations, navigating an invisible tightrope between responsibility and autonomy.
I know this struggle firsthand.
When I launched PBJ Mortgage in 2020, I had years of experience in finance, but nothing could have prepared me for the personal and professional storms ahead. A miscarriage, a premature birth, 47 days in the NICU, employees quitting without notice, and a shifting mortgage market all collided in a whirlwind that could have crushed me. But I wasn’t just fighting for myself—I was fighting for the women who had trusted me to help them create a financial future on their terms.
That’s when I made a pivotal decision: I refused to let financial systems dictate my success. Instead, I set out to rewrite the rules.
From Crisis to Change: The Birth of Financial Mastery Simplified
The financial industry thrives on formulas: Spend less, save more, invest wisely. But what happens when those formulas don’t fit your life? What if the conventional path leaves you exhausted, frustrated, and feeling like a failure?
I realized that true financial empowerment isn’t about forcing people into a predetermined system—it’s about giving them the tools and confidence to create a system that works for them. That’s why I built Financial Mastery Simplified, a program designed to help women reset their financial mindset and step into their power.
A Movement, Not Just a Program
At its core, Financial Mastery Simplified isn’t just about money—it’s about freedom. It’s about amplifying the voices of those who have been told they’re “bad with money” when the real issue is that they were never given the right framework to succeed. It’s about breaking generational cycles, challenging outdated financial advice, and reclaiming control.
Women come to this program feeling stuck. They leave feeling empowered. The journey isn’t just about numbers—it’s about transformation.
They stop feeling guilty for breaking the “rules.”
They stop making financial decisions from a place of fear.
They start designing a life where money serves them—not the other way around.
And the ripple effect is undeniable.
When one woman breaks free from financial shame, she teaches her children that wealth is more than just numbers—it’s mindset, autonomy, and choice. When she starts making financial decisions rooted in confidence, she inspires her community to do the same. When she amplifies her voice, she lifts others with her.
What’s Your Financial Spirit Animal?
Change starts with a decision. A decision to stop playing by rules that don’t serve you. A decision to redefine financial success on your terms. A decision to become the hero of your own story.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, know this: You are not broken. The system was never built for you. But you have the power to rebuild it.
The women in Financial Mastery Simplified are proof that transformation is possible. They are the unsung heroes of financial change—rewriting their money stories and, in the process, rewriting the narrative for future generations.
Because when one woman reclaims her financial power, she changes more than just her life—she changes the world.
