Hi, I'm the woman behind Tiny Steps to Riches

This is a space for rebuilding with dignity created by a mother who rebuilt her life from the ground up, slowly, intentionally, and without shortcuts.

The Story Behind the Steps

The Moment Everything Changed

October 28, 2021. After 20+ years at the same job, 12 rounds of IVF, and a divorce, I walked away from financial "safety."

Not because I was reckless. Because those small $20 automations I'd started in 2007 had quietly built something bigger: real choices.

Three weeks before giving birth to my second daughter, I made a decision that would change everything. The next day, I closed on our family home.

This is what tiny steps can build.

How $20 Became Freedom

While others chased get-rich-quick schemes, I quietly automated tiny amounts starting in 2007.

I wasn't trying to get rich. I was a restaurant worker who learned that freedom comes from consistent choices, not dramatic gestures.

For 14 years, despite life's chaos, IVF treatments, divorce, and single motherhood, those small automations kept working.

$20 became $50. $50 became security. Security became a choice.

Building Wealth in Chaos

I built wealth while injecting fertility meds in restaurant storage closets and working 60-hour weeks.

There were no glamorous hustle moments. Just a woman sneaking away between customer complaints, wondering if this fight would ever end

But every month, my systems kept going. $50 automations. 401k contributions. Tiny steps that became my daughters' safety net.

Small actions, taken consistently, create extraordinary results.

The Real Numbers

2007: First condo, 3.5% down 2016: Student loans paid off, investments automated

2017: Started investing for my daughter at birth

2021: Career freedom + family home, $50k over asking

Not because I was rich. Because tiny steps had compounded into real choices.

Small, consistent actions created the freedom to design life on my terms.

Why Traditional Advice Failed

Traditional advice told me to hold properties, stack assets, and build wealth "by the book."

But real life isn't a spreadsheet.

I sold homes not to chase returns, but to reclaim peace. To create space to raise my girls with presence after years of struggle.

This isn't about following someone else's rulebook. It's about aligning your money with what matters most.
