Hi, I'm Valerie-a 50yr old nurse from Texas who has been working since I was a teenager and still can't pay cash for a vacation. Thirty years in healthcare. Married forever. Raised a good human. Played every rule they gave me. And I'm still putting groceries on a credit card some months and I'm done pretending that's okay.
I'm not polished. I don't sugarcoat anything. I show up most days in a T-shirt and leggings/shorts like a broke Adam Sandler and I am building something different-out loud, in real time, messy and honest-because I refuse to retire broke after everything that I've given.
If you've worked your whole life and still have almost nothing to show for it-you're in the right place.
