Welcome to Financial Sway!

[Big shout out to all my OG followers for sticking with me through all of my messy moments.]

@mywealthbook was my original source of inspiration, as I had been following them on Instagram for at least a year by that time.

At first, I thought @mywealthbook was the only personal finance account on Instagram like it, but little did I know, there was actually a thriving personal finance corner on Instagram that I've had the pleasure of tapping into.

Behind the Debt-Free and FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movements, there are whole communities of people who want something more for their lives and are actively gaining sway over their finances in order to see it happen. These are my people, the dreamers and achievers.

I am a dreamer at heart and love exploring all the wild what-ifs. Even more so, I love creating a plan and taking action to see dreams become reality. This really is my love language.

Every year, I spend November and December meditating and praying, asking my Creator for a direction or theme, if you will, that will paint a picture of my following year.

For 2023, the word I received more times than I could count was "Sway." It could have had something to do with my obsession with the band Blue October (I love their album "Sway"), but I honestly felt it was something more.

As 2023 has progressed, the word has only become more and more rich to me. After all, we are always swaying. We are in a circuit of seasons that could be described as a rhythmic movement from side to side.

Whether it's spring to winter and back around again, or our highs and lows ebbing and flowing while time stops for no one, we sway.

Once I took the act of bravery of drastically changing my life's course, I was rushed into a new feeling of freedom and empowerment. While taking risks and making changes in my life, I realized we have more sway over our lives than we think.

Like, wow, even though we operate in a world that sways without asking permission, we also have sway but are constantly waiting for permission to use it.

Financial Sway has been a journey of me realizing that it's usually ourselves, not others, who are withholding permission for us to have sway over our lives, dreams, and daily choices.

My dream for Financial Sway is to provide inspiring, story-driven, and highly applicable content that will help you gain the Means to Dream and embrace the truth that Health is Wealth.

Through inspirational pieces, journal exercises, and applicable game plans, we will develop our growth mindset, energy management, and lasting effective habits!

Not in an attempt for us to be hyperproductive people, but for us to live within our full potential and lead the fulfilling life we've always envisioned for ourselves.
