For a long time, I thought being rich meant numbers: dollars in the bank, a secure plan, success others could see. But life has taught me a softer truth.

Every ending is really an invitation to begin again. When my marriage ended, I didn’t see it that way. I saw emptiness, loss, and uncertainty. But over time, I discovered something extraordinary: endings create space for new beginnings.

I used to measure my worth by numbers. The size of my paycheck, the safety of my savings, the appearance of success. That was my definition of being “rich.”

I used to think being “rich” meant never worrying about bills, building security, and ticking all the boxes of success. But after life handed me challenges I never expected, I saw things differently. Finishing rich was actually - wealth on your own terms. Real wealth isn’t what sits in your bank account. Real wealth is how you feel when you wake up. It’s walking with your head high, knowing your worth. It’s living with fulfilment because you’re aligned with your values. It’s

There comes a point when life shakes your foundation — divorce, children leaving, or a quiet morning of self-questioning

“Finish Rich” isn’t just a phrase I use — it’s part of my life’s work. It’s the name of my book, Strong Women Finish Rich, and the heart of my course, Empowered Women Finish Rich.
