The Story Behind The Tribe

 My Story (The Real One — Not the Corporate Version)

I didn't set out to be a trader

In fact, I did a few other things first — Marine, mom, marketer, mortgage and real estate educator.

If it involved chasing freedom while juggling bills, kids, and a world that kept getting more expensive my the month?! 

Yeah… I’ve been there.

When the Old Formula Broke

Somewhere between COVID chaos, dwindling savings, and the sinking realization that “work harder” is just officially BS… I needed something else.

 

The old formula —
clock in → burn out → repeat until retirement (or reincarnation) — wasn’t working.

I wanted:

  • my time back

  • my family back

  • my freedom back

And honestly?

After years in sales, I need be able to make uncapped income.

I've gotten spoiled like that.

So basically- a unicorn.

The Big Reveal

Turns out, the unicorn was forex trading. (gasp)

That thing we skimmed over in Finance school

(Yea, I went)

Why forex?
That whole saga is waiting for you in Day 1 of the free Forex 101 Mini Course — because it deserves its own spotlight.

Building The Trade Tribe

Fast-forward through the messy breakthroughs, the late-night chart binges, and the “is this pair personally attacking me?” … and The Trade Tribe was born.

I created this community for normal humans — the moms, dads, dreamers, shift-workers, burned-out professionals, former Marines (hi), and anyone who wants a real shot at financial freedom without the finance-bro nonsense.

Because here’s the truth:
Trading doesn’t have to be confusing, intimidating, or soul-crushing.
It can be simple, structured, repeatable… and actually fun.

The Rest of the Story

And if you’re wondering how a 40-something woman who swore she’d never sit at a desk again ended up knee-deep in charts, building an education platform, and teaching people how to change their financial trajectory?

Oh, that’s a whole rabbit hole you’re gonna want to read.
