Money community

Spending Mindfully

Money was my biggest battle for most of my adult life. Once I took control of it, I started a private Facebook group where Canadians help each other spend more mindfully.

Started in January 2025. More than 1,300 members as of September 2026.

Pet and house sitting

Stay Sit Snuggle

I love animals, so I built a business around them. I stay in your home while you’re away, so your pets keep the same routine.

A record eight new clients in summer 2026, and booking into 2027.
