Superintendents, Principals, and Education Leaders
Transform your relationship with money-and empower your school community to do the same on Wednesday, February 26th, 2025 12-1pm EST.
When school leaders heal their own money challenges, they can lead families to financial stability and generational wealth.
Leading Schools While Wrestling with Financial Stress
As a superintendent or school leader, you're tasked with making critical decisions for your district. But what about your own financial decisions?
Does your paycheck feel stretched too thin despite your leadership role?
Are financial stress and guilt impacting your ability to focus and lead?
You're not alone. Many of us grew up seeing education as a way out of poverty, but high incomes don’t guarantee wealth or financial freedom.
My Story
When I was a young teacher and assistant principal, I thought my paycheck would solve all my financial struggles.
But no one taught me how to manage money or break the cycles of stress I inherited from my family. It wasn’t until I began healing my relationship with money that I found true financial peace—and now, I’m here to help you do the same.
