We were always in survival mode. Any moment that we did have money, we would spend it. Then I had credit cards that I didn't understand. And since I left home early, at home, we didn't talk about money anyway. So, like, there was no education around what are the right things to do with money. Little by little, we found ourselves, you know, accumulating debt, but not having any type of emotion

to it. So it didn't weigh us down as a bad thing or a good thing at all. But it was debt that does

not help you. So unproductive debt, high interest credit cards. When we realize, like, oh, there's a lot

of things to pay. It's getting out of control. A personal loan is what we would get.

you know that we are here to give women resources to have choices and to have the best,

baddest, fullest, healthiest version of their life

and using money as a tool to get there.

We had a really nice comment after the election come through that I want to read.

Says, Tori, I'm beginning to understand the depth of how important your work is.

Thank you for speaking up,

leading with compassion and grace and helping change people's lives. We need strong female leaders

now more than ever. First of all, thank you to that person. But second of all, that's what we're

doing. We are educating women. We are giving them resources to better their money so that they can have more options,
