Simple money moves and flexible income for women 40–60

Hi, I’m Mary Anne. I’m a proud Ohioan, wife to my best friend Nick, and mom to three teenagers. Like many women in midlife, I’ve reached a stage where I’m thinking differently about money, work, and what I want the years ahead to feel like.

I care deeply about growth, both personal and financial. I believe in being honest about the learning curve, sharing what works, and owning the missteps along the way. Over the years, I’ve learned that confidence does not come from perfection. It comes from clarity, consistency, and choosing to move forward even when things feel uncertain.

When I’m not blogging, I’m often coaching figure skating or working with athletes and their parents as a Mindset Performance Coach. I love the life lessons behind sports and the way discipline, resilience, and belief shape both performance and character. Those same mindset principles show up everywhere in life, especially when it comes to money, work, and long term goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, quiet routines like morning tea, and moments that help me reset and reflect. I’m glad you’re here. This is a place for thoughtful conversations, realistic money moves, and building a future that feels steady, flexible, and aligned.
