I don’t know about you…but I feel like someone flicked the switch from summer to fall … overnight! Holy cow we needed the rain, but I had to light the pilot on the fireplace and turn on the furnace! For me, this is a signal to start planning my annual trip to Mexico! (My view…
What a fantastic summer I had! Lots of golf, sun and fun. But now it’s time to check back in with my goals and rock out the rest of the year! A couple of nights ago, at my local Women’s Business Network, I talked about how women are allowing money problems to mess up their…
Do you believe it or was your first reaction… “Yeah right, I don’t think so!” For so many it can be hard, stressful, and depressing. It can be embarrassing which leaves you feeling shameful, guilty, stupid and hopeless. I know, I’ve had my own struggles. Here are some of my clients’ biggest financial…
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” I love this quote from Albert Einstein and when it comes to money, we all make money mistakes. Not only do we make mistakes but then we feel horrible about them and ourselves. Can you relate? Have you ever struggled…
Are you a woman and own your own business? Did you know that 4 out of 5 businesses are started by women? Although it is changing, the sad news is that women are still making less money (on average) than the guys. (But thankfully that gap is getting smaller!) Running your own business is not…

Letting go of the edge… Ever hear that inner voice telling you there’s more to what you have? Do you listen to it? …The one that tells you to go for it…and believe. You should listen, its chatter that matters! Time to examine the truth about where you are. Take this…
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that you’ve been stressed about money … at least once. Bottom line – money gives us better choices. Money impacts almost everything in our lives from the food we buy, to the car we drive, the house we live in, vacations, clothes… But what we don’t like…
It’s that time of year again… do I invest in an RRSP? If so – what type of funds should I invest in. Well if you are over 55 – according to a RBC survey , 87% of Canadians are looking for investments that grow & guarantee principal and yet 60% not familiar with Segregated…
Better with age, yes, just like a fine wine! But all those years ago, (if you are over 50) when you were watching Happy Days, did you imagine you’d be stressing about retirement? We grew up on Barbie and Ken, the Beatles and wearing bell bottoms – and now some of us are grandparents! Is…
