The day I chose pleasure over debt and what it taught me about real abundance

I walked away from my first marriage with 20k in debt.
I turned 30 that year.
People around me projected that leaving “a good man” and choosing me, would mean financial ruin. I would sign up for a life of lack. A ceiling I’d never break through.
I couldn't believe that choosing myself, from the deepest, most honest place in my heart…would cost me my future.
That's what people around me projected. That leaving, choosing me, would mean financial ruin. A life of lack.
And I refused to believe it.
What debt taught me about the energy of money
Here's what became undeniably clear to me in that season of my life: the energy you choose around money is a choice. Even when the numbers say otherwise.
I was in debt and I chose not to live in the energy of debt.
I want to be careful here: this isn't a "manifest your way out of reality" story. I took full responsibility for what I owed. I took responsibility for the fact that this was a lesson I needed. I went all-in on understanding the energy of money, not just the mechanics of it.
And at the same time? I still went to dinner with friends. I went to the gym. I spent money on things that made me feel good and alive and like myself.
I held both at once: my current reality, and the energy of the woman I was becoming.
That’s the nuance most people miss.
The two traps I see women fall into
Too often, I watch women do one of two things:
They go all-in on mindset and law of attraction and then blame the Universe when nothing shifts. Because without the inner work, without actually becoming the woman who receives differently, the affirmations are just words.
Or they stay stuck in their current self. Making every decision from the version of themselves that's still carrying fear around money, still giving money (or other people's opinions) power over their choices.
I understand both. When you're making a big leap, it almost feels delusional. Like you're lying to yourself.
But here's the question I want you to sit with: is it delusional or is it intuition? Is it delusional or is it the deeper feminine knowing that something more is available for you?
Why abundance mindset for women goes deeper than money
Real abundance isn't a strategy. Nor is it a mindset hack or a revenue goal.
It's a return to something ancient in you. A layer-by-layer stepping away from the belief that you have to earn your place, shrink yourself, or sacrifice your desires to be worthy of receiving.
Abundance is the reclamation of your own power.
And I believe every woman can do this. At every level. The ceiling we keep bumping into isn't the market, it isn't the economy, it isn't even your past. It's the ceiling we've built ourselves and which means we're also the ones who can break through it.
This is what the 30k in 30 days program is actually about
When I created 30k in 30 Days — The F* Abundant Edition, I wasn't building a money mindset program.
If that's what you're looking for, this isn't it.
This is a 30-day audio journey — 30 audios, in under 30 minutes a day — designed to open your heart to a new level of abundance. The exact transmissions I share with my 1-on-1 clients, now available in a format you can step into from wherever you are.
Yes, that includes money. But even more than that, it's about aligned money.
Because here's my honest truth: I don't care how much money you currently have or make. Many of my 1-on-1 clients already had more than me when we started working together. My work isn't about chasing a number.
It's about wealth in the full sense of the word. About having it all. Not choosing between your business and your love life, your bank account and your presence as a mother, your ambition and your softness.
It's about letting it be so easy that others project onto you that it can't be right.
Why your open heart is your most powerful business tool
I've been in this industry for over 10 years. I've mentored hundreds of women internationally. And the one pattern I keep seeing?
Women with 10k+ followers who are energetically drained and working way too hard. Women with over 100k in savings who still feel lack. Business success on the outside, and a quiet exhaustion on the inside.
That is the lie this industry keeps selling. That the strategy alone will fix it. That if you hit the number, you'll finally feel it.
You won't. Not until the inner work gets done first.
No level of success can compensate for a broken heart, core unsafety, or an unhealed relationship with receiving. Those heal first. Then everything else gets to flow differently.
Money is amazing. Money in the hands of heart-led women is pure power. Money is magic.
And the most powerful thing you can do is stop protecting yourself from the very thing you're praying for.
What changes after 30 days?
Women who go through this program don't leave with a checklist. They leave as a different woman.
A woman who:
Loves money and lets herself do beautiful things with it. For herself, her family, and the world
Receives without guilt, without shrinking, and without making herself smaller
Can look herself in the eye and want more, without shame
No longer confuses safety with settling
Knows in her body that abundance isn't something you create. It's something you allow.
This is me keeping a promise
When I was 20k in debt, I made a promise. If I could heal my own relationship with money, I would teach it to every woman who came into my world.
This program is that promise.

Because the lie that you had to choose as a woman? It’s f* done.
