She's not here to sell you a version of peace she's never lived in.
Nicole Richards spent over 14 years in a demanding corporate career before walking away from a six-figure salary, and a 15-year marriage, to rebuild a life that actually belonged to her.
I spent over 14 years in a demanding corporate career before I walked away from a six-figure salary and a 15-year marriage, in the same season. I had every credential, every certification, every number figured out, and I still didn't know if I was safe. That's not a resume line. That's the actual reason this work exists.
So when you sit down with me, you're not getting theory. You're getting someone who's rebuilt a financial life and a self-worth that didn't depend on anyone else's permission, and who's here to help you do the same.

This isn't financial coaching, and it isn't therapy. It's the room where someone finally asks what you actually want, and then helps you build it.
Working with me, you'll:
- Know your numbers without dread Look at your finances without the shame spiral, and finally know exactly where you stand.
- Make decisions from your own values Not guilt, not fear, not what everyone else expects of you.
- Build something that's actually yours An economy, a rhythm, a life that doesn't depend on someone else's approval to hold together.
- Stop waiting for permission To rest, to receive, to take up the space you've already earned.
I'm a CPA and a Certified Trauma-Informed Master Coach, trained through Susan Hyatt's University of Life Coach Training, which means I understand both what your spreadsheet says and what it actually costs you to keep everyone else's world running. That combination is the point. You don't have to choose between the practical and the personal here, you get both.
What I Believe About You
You don't need to be fixed. You need a rhythm, real support, and someone who's actually done this work, not just studied it.
Rest isn't a reward you earn after burnout. It's a birthright you reclaim. And real change starts the moment you begin making decisions from your own values instead of the guilt, fear, or expectations someone else handed you, in your calendar, your relationships, or your bank account.
