🎃 The Simple Joy I Used to Miss


When I worked full-time in community pharmacy, I usually missed Halloween.

I was the one behind the counter, juggling prescriptions, phones, and immunizations
 while my neighbors were outside enjoying the laughter, costumes, and candy.

I’d get home late, exhausted, maybe see one or two trick-or-treaters
 and feel like life was just passing me by.

But now?
I get to pass out candy. 🍬
I get to see the neighborhood kids dressed up. 🎭
I get to be present for the little things that feel so big. 🎃
I get to share this moment and not just hear about it later. đŸ‘»

How can I do this now? Because I made some big changes and gave myself the gift of time freedom.

And that all started with getting my finances in order. One decision at a time.

👉 If you’re a pharmacist who’s silently wondering if this is all there is
 it’s not.

Your career doesn’t have to cost you your quality of life.

You can build a version of success that lets you enjoy the simple joys again; Halloween candy and all. đŸ«

Happy Halloween, Pharmacist Friends. đŸŽƒđŸ‘»

P.S. My cat Jaxon is ready!

Your brain wants to keep you safe

Even if it means staying stuck.

That’s not your fault. But it is your responsibility to challenge those thoughts.

You make six figures as a pharmacist, but your money is gone before your direct deposit even clears. 👉 Sound familiar?

It's not because you're bad with money. You're smart. You're capable. You've worked hard for every dollar.

The real issue? Money leaks. That $25 subscription you forgot about. The "quick" Costco run that turned into $200. The convenience fees that add up to hundreds each month. Little drips that drain your account before you even notice.

The good news? Once you spot these leaks and plug them, your paycheck finally feels like yours again.

I recently worked with a client who was able to save $600 per month just by spotting and stopping a bunch of small leaks.

Drop a 💊 if you're ready to stop the drain and keep more of what you earn.

What if your next financial breakthrough isn’t a big leap
 but a small, steady step? đŸ’ŠđŸ’”

We just wrapped up the Money Made Easy: Recipe for Financial Wellness Summit, and one theme came through loud and clear across every session:
✹ Taking action matters more than perfection.
✹ Small daily habits create real momentum.
✹ You don’t have to do everything BUT you do have to start.

As pharmacists, we’re used to precision. We’re trained to get things right. But when it comes to our money, that same mindset can hold us back.

->We delay budgeting until it’s “perfect.”
->We avoid our accounts because we feel behind.
->We try to tackle everything at once and end up exhausted and stuck.

Here’s the shift: You don’t need a flawless plan. You need a clear priority and the courage to take the next small step.

Whether that’s checking your credit card balances, up auto-savings, or finally looking at your student loan repayment strategy; progress happens one decision at a time.

Let this be your reminder: You don’t need to be perfect to make progress. You just need to begin.

What small step are you committing to this week?

9/11 reminds us how quickly life can change, and how deeply we’re all connected.

To all who serve, protect, and care for others
thank you. We don’t take your work or your sacrifice for granted.

You’ve been working so hard...

so why does it feel like you're always playing catch-up.

You didn’t mean to fall behind. Life just got busy.

And now it feels like your finances are reacting to everything around you. There are unexpected expenses that got you off track, maybe changes in income, credit card balances going up again.

I understand because I've been there before.

Pharmacists please know. You’re not behind. You’re just reacting.

But... you don’t have to stay there.

When you start making decisions ahead of time: before payday, before the bills hit, before the stress kicks in; SOMETHING SHIFTS.
->You stop spinning.
->You start breathing.

That’s what being proactive does.

It gives you back your peace. Your power. Your plan.

You don’t have to overhaul everything. You just have to start.

Take time to reflect: what's "your end"?

Because once you know that, everything else becomes a decision
 not a reaction.

Have you ever missed family events because of work?

I know the feeling all too well.

For years, I showed up late to birthdays, family dinners, bowling nights, even holidays.

When I did make it, I was usually rushing, exhausted, and not fully present.
It’s one of the hardest parts of our pharmacy profession... feeling like work always wins, and family time comes second.

But here’s what I want you to hear:
It doesn’t have to stay that way forever.

Today, I’ve built a schedule that gives me flexibility.
â–ȘI can show up to family gatherings on time.
â–ȘI can be present instead of distracted.
â–ȘAnd I can be there when my mom needs me.

How did I get here?
By getting my financial life in order and creating stability.

Because when your money is managed with intention, it opens up choices with your time.
👉 This is why your “why” matters.
👉 This is why knowing your priorities matters.

Working hard now, WITH A PLAN, means you’re moving toward a future where you can design your schedule and your life around what matters most.

Pharmacist friend, if you’ve been feeling pulled in every direction, exhausted, and stretched too thin
 know that there is a way forward.

What would it mean for you to have the freedom to show up fully for the people and moments that matter most?

The best things in life (and money) are worth the wait...

50 years together. 💛

My in-laws just celebrated their anniversary, and it reminded me of something powerful:

They didn't build a life together by chasing every impulse.

They build it by planning, budgeting and saving... even if it took longer.

And that's a lesson for us too.

As pharmacists, it's easy to want everything RIGHT NOW... but instant gratification often comes with debt attached.

True freedom comes when you slow down, plan ahead and wait for what really matters in your life.

Remember...the best things (in life and finances) are worth the wait. (Here's a photo of me and my husband at the anniversary dinner.)

What’s one thing you’re saving for right now that’s worth waiting for?

I see so many pharmacists trying to juggle paying a little extra on every debt they have...

credit cards, student loans, car payments...hoping that somehow, it will all add up to progress. But often, this approach leaves you feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

What I’ve found is that focusing on just one debt at a time can truly change everything. When you put your extra money and energy into that one debt, you start to build momentum. It’s like tipping over the first domino. Once it falls, the rest become easier to tackle.

That’s exactly where working with a financial coach can help. I work alongside you to sort through the noise, clarify what matters most, and create a simple, doable plan. Plus, I’m here to support you and keep you accountable every step of the way.

You don’t have to carry this burden alone. Sometimes, focusing on one thing is the key to finally moving forward with confidence.

If this resonates with you, send me a message. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Have you ever noticed how stepping away from the day-to-day makes everything feel clearer?

I just returned from a trip surrounded by the mountains and waterfalls of North Carolina and Georgia visiting family.

The pace was slower. The air felt lighter. And for the first time in a while, there was space to think (limited phone service).

As pharmacists, we spend so much of our energy taking care of everyone else. We push through long shifts, take on more responsibilities, and sometimes forget to breathe.

But when you unplug, even for a couple of days, something happens:
-> You start to see what your real priorities are.
-> You realize how much of your stress is just noise.
-> You see how the beauty of nature can really change your perspective.
-> You get clarity on where you actually want your time and money to go.

Here's the added bonus:

You get clear on your WHY.

When you’re clear on your priorities, your finances tend to follow. It becomes easier to say no to things that don’t serve you and yes to what truly does.

So, if you’ve been running on empty, consider this your reminder:

Step back. Unplug. Give yourself the space to reset.

Your mental health...and your money...will thank you.

If you could step away for just a few days, where would you go to recharge?
