I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday.

After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business.

Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances.

“When you know what is causing you to spend mindlessly, you can change your response, right? You can put in some safeguards, some barriers. That's going to take practice, because it's a habit right now for you to spend mindlessly on whatever trigger comes up. And so that's going to take some practice. But once you start to make those changes, then you're going to be able to stop doing those things that you don't want to do.”

“You have to know yourself. You have to be patient with yourself. You have to understand your personality, how your brain works, and create systems and strategies that are gonna work for you because money is personal, it's emotional, and it's not a one size fits all. And the more you can understand how you process the information and how you react to things, the better off you're gonna be because you can shift your plan, your perspective, your strategy with your finances to fit your specific situation.”
