Sober Women Managing Money & Mental Wealth
Alright, I was requested by a couple of readers to share some wedding pics and a recap. Firstly, I’m humbled that any of my readers want to hear more of the details about my wedding. Secondly, I was holding off for fear that things have been all about me and my engagement/wedding/marriage lately. However, I’m throwing caution to the wind and will share the deets!
After all, everyone loves love, right?

As a woman in recovery, I see people all of the time who want to change, surrender, start a new way of life. Unfortunately, most are not willing to do what it takes to make such a big change. Most people are looking for a quick fix and as we all learn from being alive long enough there rarely are quick fixes in life.
However, if we are willing to play the long game, there are fixes.
The good news is that change is possible! Old dogs can be taught new tricks.
Okay, so I must give credit where credit is due. My boss had the best line ever when I told him of my engagement in 2020. He said, “I just got the best news of this year to forget!!!”
Yep, 2020 was historical on a macro level and as much as we’d like to forget it and put it behind us, it’s one for the history books and the effects still linger on in 2021. Additionally, for me personally, it’s historical on a much more micro level – I got engaged!!!
We are so excited and I’m thrilled to write a blog post about some good stuff that came out of 2020.
Last week, I wrote part 1 of this post which had to do more with the money side of things. In learning to have mental wealth as well as managing money well, an emergency fund is a solid foundation.
I described how to calculate a monthly emergency amount which enables you to use any number of months as the multiplier. Creating a hedge against any number of life’s emergencies is a way of playing offense rather than defense.
It also will allow you to have more resiliency to bounce back from any potential setback.
However, the second part of developing resiliency is the mental aspect.
