In today’s fast-paced world, women are wearing multiple hats: entrepreneur, mother, wife, professional, and more. For women like you—who are committed to success in all areas of life—it’s essential to master your financial health alongside your personal and professional growth.
As an author, investor, and speaker, I’ve seen how financial empowerment leads to true freedom. In my book Financially Fly, I discuss how understanding money and building wealth is key to living the life you desire. Here are five steps every woman should consider to achieve financial freedom while balancing all the demands of modern life.

1. Take Control of Your Finances with a Budget
One of the most powerful tools for financial success is knowing exactly where your money goes. A budget helps you track income, expenses, and savings goals, ensuring you stay in control of your finances.
- Pro tip: My Financially Fly Planner allows you to organize and structure your finances so all those FLY purchases you want to make farewell planned out. Track your spending and set aside money for future goals, from vacations to investments.

2. Prioritize Investing—Start Small, Think Big
As women, we often focus on saving, but investing is where true wealth is built. Don’t be afraid to start small. The sooner you begin investing, the more time your money has to grow.
- Action step: Look into low-cost index funds, stocks, or real estate. Even small, consistent investments can build wealth over time. Consider speaking to a financial advisor if you're unsure where to start. I have custodial accounts for my children as well that I invest into regularly.

3. Build Multiple Streams of Income
In today’s economy, relying on one source of income is limiting. Diversifying your income through side hustles, investments, or passive income streams can boost your financial security and create more freedom.
- What I do: As a songwriter and music publisher, I’ve built multiple income streams through royalties and investments. You can explore opportunities like freelancing, investing, or starting a small business based on your passion.

4. Focus on Personal Growth and Development
Financial freedom doesn’t just come from money—it’s also about mindset. Invest in your personal development by reading, attending seminars, and surrounding yourself with people who inspire growth.
- Recommended reads: My book Financially Fly is great place to start for understanding wealth and mindset. Focus on developing a strong relationship with money, and the opportunities will follow. I also have a planner to accompany the book which allows you to implement what you have learned.

5. Balance Work, Family, and Financial Goals with Harmony
As a mother of two beautiful children, wife, and entrepreneur, I know firsthand the challenge of balancing work, family, and finances. The key is to create systems and prioritize what’s most important. It’s possible to have it all—just not all at once. I like to focus on harmony, instead of balance. Harmony is a perfect blend that allows each area to shine.
- Work-life tip: Set clear boundaries for work and family time. Delegate tasks where possible and make self-care a priority. Balancing your goals allows you to be fully present in both your professional and personal life.
