Wealth Building Through Real Estate: More Than Just Buy and Hold

When it comes to building wealth, most people immediately think of investing in stocks and bonds. And while those are essential pillars of a strong financial plan, there’s another powerful—and often overlooked—way to grow your net worth: real estate ownership.

Owning a home (or even multiple properties) can be a game-changing asset. But here’s the truth: it’s not just buy, hold, and hope. Real estate, unlike stocks, requires ongo...

How I’m Integrating Sacred Money Archetypes® to Help Women Build Wealth Their Way

For years, I watched women avoid conversations about money—not because they weren’t smart or capable, but because they didn’t feel seen, understood, or empowered in the financial world. And I get it. I’ve worked in the investing space for decades, managing billions of dollars, and I still often found myself as the only woman in the room.

That’s exactly why I created The Prosperity Portal—my 90-day money coaching ...

When I first moved to the U.S. from France, I knew nothing about investing. My first job? Teaching horse riding.

And if there’s one thing I learned from guiding people through their fears in the saddle, it’s this: progress happens when you have someone who believes in you and shows you the way.

You Don’t Need a Fancy Algorithm to Build Wealth—Here’s Why

The other day, I was working at a Barnes & Noble while my daughter was at her gymnastics camp. Between sips of coffee and scrolling through emails, I heard something that immediately caught my attention—two women talking about money.

Not gossip, not shopping—investing.

One woman sat tall, speaking with confidence:
"I’m smart enough to hire a financial advisor. He has an algorithm that runs 25 scenarios to see if I’ll have enough for ...

Listen, unless your dream retirement involves working the register at your local grocery store at 90 just for fun (and not because you need to), it’s time to get serious about investing.

But here’s the thing—investing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or like some secret club where only Wall Street bros understand the rules. It’s actually simple when you have a system.

Let’s break it down.

When it comes to managing your money, the options can feel overwhelming. Should you hire a financial advisor? Work with a money coach? Or both?

Understanding the difference between these roles can help you make the best decision for your financial journey.

What Does a Financial Advisor Do?

A financial advisor is like a guide for your investments and long-term financial growth. Their focus is on managing your money for you.

Here are some typical responsibilities of a financial advisor:

Managing money doesn’t have to feel restrictive or stressful. In fact, true financial freedom comes when you stop trying to control every penny and instead create a system that works for you in the background. Intentional spending paired with a solid money plan helps your money grow quietly while you focus on living your life.

Here’s how you can shift from money stress to building wealth with ease.

Step 1: Spend with Intention, Not Guilt

Intentional spending isn’t about denying yourself—it’...

Life’s uncertainties can feel overwhelming when we aren’t prepared. The recent fires in California that destroyed so many homes serve as a sobering reminder of how quickly life can change. Imagine losing everything in an instant and not knowing who to call, what steps to take, or how to recover financially.

Emergencies like these—and others, such as sudden job loss or the looming reality of retirement without enough savings—create fear when we haven’t planned for them. But what if, instead of l...
