In 2015 I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD). While receiving an official diagnosis was uncomfortable, it also provided a "lightbulb moment." I had an answer for what I had been experiencing for many years & I could finally find proper help. I began working with a mental health professional but quickly saw a gap in treatment. While my provider was qualified to help me in many aspects of my life, she could not understand or assist with the financial issues that I was experiencing due to BPD. That’s when I got to work.

Since then, I have been able to master my budget, gain control of my finances, and pay off a boatload of debt. That’s not to brag. I know how overwhelming finances can feel when a seemingly impossible personality disorder continually rears its ugly head. Messy finances are just the beginning of a domino trail affecting all aspects of life. My journey inspired me to obtain the education and skills to help others in similar financial shoes to the ones I found myself in.
