WHY I LEFT MY CAREER AS A CPA TO BECOME A MONEY MINDSET COACH
A decade ago, I was deeply entrenched in the world of numbers, spreadsheets, and financial statements as a Chartered Professional Accountant. I had spent years building a successful career in the field, and my life appeared to be on a trajectory that aligned with society’s expectations. Little did I know that a profound transformation was brewing on the horizon.
During my time as an accountant, I observed a striking disparity between our financial goals, our sense of purpose, and our relationship with money. It became evident that societal influences had a direct impact on our ability to feel empowered when discussing finances and cultivating a positive money mindset. Many of us, particularly women, carried heavy burdens of shame, guilt, and self-imposed limitations when it came to money.
Then came the pandemic, which served as a stark reminder of the importance of financial preparedness for life’s unpredictable twists and turns. It was a wake-up call that urged us to address our financial well-being head-on. But for many, the question remained: How and where do we start these crucial conversations about money, especially if many of us never had a safe space to do so?
This realization ignited a deep passion within me. I knew that this had to change, and I was determined to be a catalyst for that change. As I stepped away from the security of my CPA career and embarked on my coaching journey, I saw the immense potential to bridge the gap between financial literacy, personal purpose, and a healthy money mindset.
My mission, now as the founder of The Holistic CFO™, is to provide a sanctuary where individuals, particularly women and business leaders, can transform their relationship with money and cultivate a financially empowered mindset that leads to more financial success, emotional fulfillment, and purpose in the long run.
This isn’t just about dollars and cents; it’s about reclaiming our power, rewriting our financial narratives, and reshaping our futures. I invite you to join me on this transformative journey towards embracing financial empowerment, recognizing your worth, and pave the way toward your financial dreams.
