My baby has received its first big cheque! 🥹💸

A huuuuuge thank you to , , and the Starter Company Plus Program for the support and investment into my business.

Liberty Leave®️ started in 2019 as a personal blog, but it’s evolving into something much bigger than that.

In 2019, I became exhausted from working non-stop since I was 15 years old. Being an overachiever finally caught up to me. Chasing the next big opportunity was my default, and being stuck in autopilot mode became detrimental to my health and my career trajectory.

I knew something needed to change, but I didn’t have the time or space to even consider my options because life was moving too quickly.

So, I decided to slow it down.

I took 6 months off from my job to rest, recharge, and reset. I spent the time solo travelling in Southeast Asia.

When I told people I was taking the time off, they assumed I was taking a a sick leave or a maternity leave (????). That’s when I’d reply with “nah, I’m taking a Liberty Leave”.

We can take purposeful pauses in our career that don’t necessarily revolve around being ill or caretaking.

When I shared that with other women, the follow-ups I’d receive were “You can do that?!” “Wait, HOW do you do that?!”

And that’s when Liberty Leave evolved from just a blog showcasing my journey to an educational platform teaching other burnt out women how to plan and take a career break, sabbatical, (or what I call a Liberty Leave) of their own without going broke.

This is only the beginning for Liberty Leave, and I’m so excited to share the cool things we have on the horizon starting with the launch of our signature self-paced course launching next month!

Financial avoidance is real and sometimes the problem isn’t you.

But the power to repair this money disorder? It starts with you.

Baby steps are key! Tackling money tasks little by little is a great way to get started.

So…when is your first money date with yourself?! 👀
And don’t forget the flowers 💐… aka your Budget Tracker.

🗣🗣🗣 YOUR PRICE JUST WENT UP ⬆️⬆️⬆️

We often talk about investing our coins and saving them, but what about acquiring them?!?

Salary/rate negotiation is a part of the hiring process. Hiring managers/recruiters often expect you to push back or ask for more.

So... are you leaving money or other forms of compensation on the table?????? 👀

Landlord life is not for the weak 😭

People love to talk about “easy passive income” but trust me… it’s not always as easy as it sounds.

Things can go left VERY QUICKLY.
Make sure you understand your local laws and agreements before deciding if landlord life is for you.

Me personally… no thank you. I am good for LIFE! 😅Let me know if you want a Story Time about the whole tenant stealing weights debacle lmao

**If you still ~are~ interested in landlord life and need a savings tracker to monitor your progress towards your goal, comment the word SAVINGSTRACKER and I’ll send you the link to mine for freeeeee!**

This was my first time experiencing Semana Santa in Spain! I DID MY RESEARCH before going. I was just surprised these processions happen at 12:30AM! It was really cool to see from the balcony! 🥰

Mek sure you have your vex money so you can leave situations you do not wish to be part of! 💸💸💸

Whether it's a toxic relationship, a sh*tty job, or even leaving a country you’re on vacation in due to a world wide emergency *ahem*...that money allows you to STAY. READY.

Keep it in a high interest savings account so that money earns money too.

Ever wondered what the difference is between stocks and ETFs? 🤔 Today, I'm breaking it down so you can make smarter choices with your investments.

Stocks give you ownership in a single company, which could potentially mean more risk BUT the potential for big rewards.

On the other hand, ETFs let you invest in a whole basket of assets, offering diversification across multiple assets.

But just because ETFs offer more diversification doesn't mean they're without risk.

Learn how to choose the right ETF for your goals and start investing smarter.

Do you invest in ETFs already? If so, what are your fave ones?

This is proof that small decisions can make a BIG impact.

I never thought putting 6% of my pay into my employer stock plan at 18 would impact my life this much.

But bayBEEEE! 🤑

Don’t sleep on the stock options or ANY matching that your company may offer you.

Remember, that little money CAN make big money over time 💸💸

🗣️🗣️🗣️ A MAN IS NOT A FINANCIAL PLAN, SIS!

Your financial independence will always start with you and NOT a man.

Love is beautiful. Partnership is great. But your financial security should never entirely depend on someone else.

Please please please protect yourself.

I’ve seen SO many women who have had to start from 0 because they left everything to their partner and the relationship didn’t work out.

If you want access to the same budget tracker I use to stay on top of my spending, comment the word BUDGETRACKER and I’ll send you the link!

It can be a great resource you and your partner can use together so you have a clear view of the money leaving your account.

Sometimes you have to buy it nice OR… buy it twice.

Make sure you spend your money where it matters because being cheap can unexpectedly cost you a lot more in the long run.

Don’t cut corners in the areas that actually hold your life together.

It’s not worth the headache sometimes!

When you’re vulnerable and are invested in someone you love’s well-being, you sometimes feel obligated to lend a helping hand (or several hands) before you realize it’s taking a negative toll on your own wellbeing.

Financial abuse or reg flags can often be subtle.

This can also apply to non-romantic relationships!

I say this with love because I know it’s easier said than done, but be mindful of the toxic patterns.

Protect your coins ❤️
