Hosting Today: I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday. After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business. Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances. “You’ve got to know where your money is going, which means you’ve got to track it. You’ve got to look at it and know your numbers. You need to get over the fear, procrastination, and avoidance. You’ve got to make it happen if you want to pay off your debt. It’s not going to just happen on its own, right? You’ve got to be intentional. Being intentional helps you create a realistic money plan. It all goes together, right?” - Ashley Patrick Struggling to budget? My FREE "Roadmap to Real-Life Money Success" Bootcamp will help you set up a doable financial plan and build lasting habits.
