Navigating food insecurity, homelessness, or financial instability

Homelessness
Economic uncertainty
+3
I grew up knowing what it meant to not have enough. Food insecurity was a constant presence—I learned early how to stretch what we had, make things last, and go without. My mother told me I'd grow up to be a doctor or famous author and make the family rich. For a long time, I believed carrying us out of poverty was my responsibility. As I got older, instability followed me. There were times I didn't know where my next meal would come from or whether I'd keep a roof over my head. I've relied on government programs, local aid, and people who showed up when I needed them. I learned to navigate systems that are confusing and often unkind—how to look for resources, ask for help in ten places until one says yes, and keep going even when pride tells you not to. Those experiences taught me resilience that's less about toughness and more about persistence and creativity. I know what it's like to survive instability, and I can help you find your way through it.
Getting your finances together (no judgment, just real talk)
Christine D.
Budgeting
Financial insecurity
+2
I didn’t grow up talking about Roth IRAs or credit scores at the dinner table. What I knew about money came from watching the people around me survive—not thrive. I learned how to stretch, hustle, and make do. But budgeting? Investing? Understanding my paycheck? That came later… painfully, and mostly through trial and error. For a long time, I carried shame about what I didn’t know. I thought I was behind. I thought I was bad with money. But the truth is, I was never taught. And that’s not a personal failure—it’s a systemic one. Eventually, I got tired of feeling anxious every time I checked my bank account. I started reading, asking questions, unlearning toxic money beliefs, and building systems that actually worked for me. I’m not a financial advisor—but I am someone who understands what it’s like to figure it out as you go. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of “getting it together,” but deep down you want to be more in control of your money—you’re in the right place. We can start wherever you are.
Starting over after rock bottom and rebuilding your life from scratch

I’ve had to start over more than once, after abuse, heartbreak, and financial setbacks. At one point, I was a single mom living with my parents, pregnant by someone who walked away, wondering how I would ever rebuild. But I did. I saved, I healed, I reached out to family for support, went back to therapy, and I learned to find myself again. Starting over felt like failure at first, but it was actually freedom. Each reset gave me clarity, resilience, and a new sense of purpose. If you're looking for someone who has had to figure it out from the bottom (50K in debt to 100K saved), I've got you covered.
Healing after a long-term toxic relationship
Laurinda V.
Adult education
Infidelity
I spent 26 years in a physically and emotionally abusive marriage, only to discover near the end that my husband had been having affairs with men. The betrayal was devastating, but the pain had started long before that—years of feeling invisible, unappreciated, and stuck. After the divorce, I found myself starting over as a single mom with CPTSD, anxiety, and financial instability. It was hard. But I slowly began rebuilding, piece by piece. I went back to school as an adult, eventually earning two master’s degrees, and now work as a school counselor supporting kids and families. I’ve also helped others navigate their own divorces, emotional recovery, and co-parenting journeys. Healing wasn’t quick or easy, but I’ve learned that even after decades of feeling broken, it’s still possible to rediscover your worth and create a life full of purpose and peace. You are not too far gone, and it’s never too late to begin again.
