My Story

I love people, meaningful conversations and helping others become their best self. Along with my open love for spreadsheets, numbers and planning, it’s only natural that Bread + Butter Wealth became a part of my story.

As I started to envision it, I was giddy about connecting people and numbers, about acting as the bridge between the two so people could gain confidence and knowledge in an area of life that so often makes people run or glaze over. I’m a big believer that learning comes from asking questions, looking at different what if’s and floating ideas back and forth, which is why I have a huge focus on cultivating a safe and engaging environment.

With my Life Insurance Certification, Accident and Sickness Certification, and 15+ years of service in the investment industry, I will guide our discussions and empower you to confidently take the necessary steps to plan for a life you want to live.

I’m so glad you’re here!

The Bread & Butter Story

For me, money isn’t a collection of coins and bills.

It’s a relationship. 

Through my fifteen-year career in finance, I’ve seen how thousands of people, businesses and corporations handle that relationship. Pretty early on, I had an eye for the underdog and wanted to use what I was learning not to make the rich richer, but to get everyone else to the starting line. 

The truth is, most of us aren’t even there - particularly women. All too often we come to the table sheepish because of what we don’t know, often not even talked to when we get there because we aren’t considered the decision-makers or we stay willingly blind to the books because it’s, well, not that fun. 

I know this because I’ve lived it.

After too many months of, “We spent what on groceries?!”, “No way did I buy a coffee that many times” and “How did my $10 lunches add up to that much!?” something had to change. Alongside my husband, Dustin, we built a proactive spending approach, started assessing our spending on a weekly level, reined in emotional costs and built a mutual long-term vision that we could both not only get behind, but actually be excited about. 

And what happened?

We started relaxing.
We slept better. 
We were more organized.
We felt excited to dream.
We saw eye to eye more.
We started to feel real freedom.
And we had more money.

Our life-changing transformation sparked the idea to create an empowering, educating space in Calgary for women to graciously be heard and ask questions without embarrassment, to build their relationship with money independently and to find the coaching and connection around their money that will rewrite their stories and lead them into financial freedom.

With that, Bread + Butter Wealth was born.
