“Most women who have been in an abusive relationship have also been a victim of Economic Abuse.”(Canadian Centre for Women’s Empowerment) and yet it’s rarely talked about. I have been witness to a lot of financial abuse through the course of doing my work – particularly right after a relationship breakdown. I have heard aboutContinue reading “Paying ‘That Bitch’”

Why Taxes?
Ever wonder why a person would choose to be a tax specialist? It’s an interesting story actually. haha. I graduated with a business management diploma in accounting in 2009. I clearly remember my first job in an accounting office, and how much I absolutely hated it. The work was fascinating, but the work environment wasContinue reading “Why Taxes?”
Anxiety
Anyone else feeling anxious lately? Christmas season seems to do it to a lot of people! I am generally really good at keeping my anxiety in check, but I’m not immune to the pressure that comes this time of year. I am good with living a lean life and my income is steadily increasing. ThatContinue reading “Anxiety”
Worry
This is the final week before the tax deadline. There has been a whole pile of people who are contacting me in a panic this week. People who have been worrying about the outcome, procrastinating getting their things together, and worrying about doing it wrong. All of them are giving themselves a really hard timeContinue reading “Worry”

I also had a few chats with myself this week on exactly the same thing.Continue reading “Moving through”
Love how you earn
Do you love how you earn your money? Is that even something you’ve ever considered as being a possibility? I talk to a lot of people who downright hate how they earn their money. They dread Monday’s, they count the clock til 5, they count down to retirement, they spend their time not working complainingContinue reading “Love how you earn”
Must be nice
I had a little writing session this morning that came with some pretty huge ah-ha’s. I am in a bit of a work lull at the moment. The busy photography season has ended and the busy tax season hasn’t yet started so I have a whole bunch of free time now. I went for aContinue reading “Must be nice”
Money Stress
I’ve been reading a book called ‘the myth of normal’ by Dr. Gabor Mate lately and it has been opening my eyes about a whole lot of things. This book talks about illness as primarily originating from stress, trauma, unmet needs and unprocessed emotions. It is utterly fascinating to think about just how unconducive toContinue reading “Money Stress”
New Year
Yesterday I read through my post here from last year around New Years resolutions. It is so interesting for me to think about how much my mindset has shifted in a year. Some of the tools and ways I did things just don’t seem to apply anymore. SMART goals and vision boards just weren’t feelingContinue reading “New Year”
