Rebuilding Your Life After Financial Loss Starts Right Here.
A gentle guide to your emotional and financial reset.
I was a single mum with $10 in the bank, a mountain of debt, and a broken heart. I honestly thought I’d never get back up. But I did. And I want to show you how.
This book Might Not Save You. But It Will Hold Your Hand.
Ten Bucks isn’t a rags-to-riches story, nor is it about having a money mindset, manifesting abundance, or anything like this. It’s about the quiet, courageous journey, step by step, of emotional recovery after financial loss or collapse. It’s about putting one foot in front of the other and maintaining your confidence as much as possible while you work toward a sense of normal again.
If you’ve been drowning in shame, guilt, or debt, concerned that you’ll never recover, or wondering who you are now, you are not alone. And you are not broken. The resources here will help you stabilise the ground beneath your feet and find your inner compass once again, so that you can trust yourself and your decisions again.
I lost everything I had worked for… and had to rebuild from the ground up. Along the way, I created a roadmap for emotional and financial recovery that’s now helped others do the same.
I’m not a guru who tells other people how to live their life. I’m just an everyday person who lived through this experience. This space is for people like you and like me - who are ready to get back up and move on after financial loss.
“I stare for a few seconds before a wave of overwhelm swamps me. I start to sob, deep stifled sobs so that I don’t wake my daughter. For months now, I’ve been living on the edge financially, with only just enough money to pay my bills. But now - I’ve hit rock bottom.
I want to run to my daughter’s room and snuggle up under the covers, hold onto her and hide. But the only person that can hold me in this moment is me.
I wrap my arms around myself tightly as tears pour down my cheeks. I feel gutted, desperate, needy, and terrified.
I’m alone with ten bucks in the bank, my seven-year-old daughter to look after, and no idea what to do next.”

You’ll discover how to:
Identify your unique “anchors” - the people, routines, places and values that sustain you.
Build a personalised framework of daily practices that nourish your mind, body and spirit.
Shift from reactive wellbeing (doing when you feel low) to proactive anchoring (holding steady even when life moves fast).
Cultivate inner resilience so that when stress, change or challenge arises you already have supports in place.
💡 What’s included
A guided workbook to map your current and potential anchors.
Weekly micro-practices you can integrate into your day (5-10 minutes) to deepen your anchoring.
Reflection prompts to help you track growth, stay curious, and adjust as you evolve.

🌿 Why these anchors help

Up the Well
A$67.00
“I liken my journey to spiralling down into a deep, dark, sludgy, miserable well. Coming face to face with my circumstances has been difficult, but I know that recovery can only begin when I stop acting like everything will work itself out and start taking charge of my life.
Even though I don’t want to face it, the journey up and out of the well is solely up to me. I have to take on a whole new level of responsibility for myself and my wellbeing that is unfamiliar to me.
I want to know when I will come out of this – if only an indication to help encourage me.
I’ve already made a decision to heal myself, so why am I not getting on with it? Don’t I want my life to work for me? Don’t I want to thrive?
Yes, you do. Stop sitting still. Do something, anything. A simple next step will help.”
