Writing these posts - and inadvertently becoming a specific champion of women's voices in the personal finance space - has changed the way I've looked at things at work and in the rest of my life as well. I grew up in a home where being a women meant nothing different than being a man,…
I keep telling myself that I will get ahead on finishing posts when I have a guest post featured here, but it has yet to happen. To be fair, even a guest post does take more work to published than I would have ever guessed pre-blogging, but it still is less than writing a full…
Short work weeks when we don't have a vacation planned always feel a bit strange; the rest of the workplace also has the days off, so in theory, there shouldn't be extra work compressed into the days like when you're taking individual time off, but it never seems to work that way. Granted, it doesn't…
It's been a week and a half since I got back from Cents Positive and I'm seriously missing the awesome ladies I got to spend the weekend with. I enjoy being around people, especially people I connect with on so many levels, and that weekend was all about those relationships. Can we all live in…
I'm back from Cents Positive but still riding the high of how amazing that weekend was. I had high hopes for the event, and they surpassed even that.

Wednesday yet again, and another rendition of my Women's Personal Finance Roundup. The hardest part of this post every week is narrowing it down to my favorites, because there is just so much good content out there. If you're ever interested in what else I'm reading, I tweet quite a few other posts on Twitter…
Happy Wednesday, friends. We're at hump day once again, and another edition of my women's personal finance Wednesdays. The content published this past week was amazing, and these are just a few of my very favorite post by some of the women writing about personal finance and financial independence online. Representation matters, and you reading…
I have to say that I am loving putting this series together. I may not have initially started this blog to champion the women in the personal finance / financial independence space, but it's become a very important part of my blogging journey, and this series is a natural extension of that. Representation matters, and…
As I said last week, I had been kicking around the idea for this blog roundup series for quite some time now but hadn't made up my mind to commit to it. I have to say though, with the amazing response to week one, I am so glad I went ahead and started. We've come…
