hi, I’m Riley!
with Two feet on the ground, but open to the flow of the universe -
I love exploring both the inner and outer worlds - navigating life with a blend of curiosity, empathy, and a healthy dose of laughter. I embrace the duality of my nature - the quiet introvert who loves a good book (and spreadsheet!) and the social butterfly who thrives on meaningful conversations.
What I most want you to understand is that money isn't just about numbers; it's a mirror reflecting our deepest beliefs and fears. I'm here to help you heal those wounds and rewrite your money story, so you can create a life that truly reflects your dreams and desires.
I believe that money can be a tool for personal growth and spiritual fulfillment, and I'm passionate about supporting you on that journey.
Why Money Coaching?
Like many of us navigating the ups and downs of our twenties and thirties, I didn't always have the best relationship with money.
But becoming a single mom ignited a fire in me to create a more stable and secure financial future for myself and my little one.
I dove headfirst into learning everything I could about money. I tackled my debt, created a budget that actually worked (most of the time!), and even manifested a dream vacation to Bali.
I really thought I had mastered my money
…and then I got married.
Now, don't get me wrong, I adore my husband. But we weren't on the same page with money. Money conversations became tense, and traditional advice didn't help. We were carrying invisible money wounds, emotional patterns that were tripping us up.
That's when I realized two things:
Money issues are rarely just about the money itself. It's like the quote by Jane Monica-Jones: “Money becomes both a conceptual maze and a tangible web that is loaded with our projections, our beliefs, hopes and fears.” It's about our emotions, our mindset, and our deepest beliefs about ourselves and the world.
For me, some of the biggest hurdles were the beliefs that you can't be both spiritual and have a desire for money, that having or desiring wealth made me a 'bad' person, and that money inevitably ruins relationships. Even deeper than that, I realized my own lack of self-worth was driving my financial dependence on my parents. I was subconsciously self-sabotaging, reinforcing the idea that I wasn't capable of creating abundance on my own.
It felt like living in a tiny fishbowl, limited by my own beliefs.
This journey of self-discovery, including confronting my self-worth and limiting beliefs, actually began long before my financial struggles. I've always been fascinated by personal development and psychology. I was also drawn to Eastern philosophies, anything that allowed me to explore different ways to understand the human mind and spirit.
Years later, my experience with addiction and toxic relationships ignited a deeper spiritual awakening within me. I dove deep into inner work, seeking healing and transformation. It was through this intense period of introspection that I began to truly explore my self-worth and uncover the limiting beliefs that were holding me back in all areas of my life. And as I began to heal those wounds, I realized that my relationship with money was also deeply intertwined with these patterns.
Through my own journey of healing and self-discovery, I discovered that money is more than just numbers; it's energy. It has a flow, a vibration, and it responds to our thoughts and emotions. Our mindset and beliefs play a powerful role in shaping our financial reality.
By shifting our perspective and embracing a more empowered approach to money, we can create profound changes in our lives.
Abundant on Purpose was born out of my own deep desire for this kind of holistic approach to money. I wanted to create a space where individuals and couples could unravel those tangled money webs, heal their emotional wounds, and step into a life of true financial freedom and fulfillment.
My intention is to guide you on that same journey – to help you not only improve your relationship with money, but also deepen your connection with yourself, your intuition, and your purpose in the world.

My Money Philosophy
My personal money philosophy is rooted in the belief that true financial well-being comes from a holistic approach that honors both your practical needs and your soul's desires. It's about recognizing that money is both a tangible tool and a reflection of our inner world.
Instead of trying to control every penny, I believe in cultivating a mindset of ease and flow. Money, like any form of energy, thrives in circulation. This doesn't mean overspending, but rather making mindful choices that align with your values and support your long-term goals. When we approach money from a place of groundedness and intuition, we create space for both financial security and joyful experiences.
Ultimately, my philosophy encourages you to view money as a means of creating a life that truly reflects your passions, values, and aspirations. It's about finding the sweet spot between enjoying the present moment and building a secure future. For me, this means setting clear financial goals while also trusting my intuition and allowing space for unexpected opportunities. It means making informed decisions about my spending while also staying connected to my values and my vision for the future.
By embracing both the practical and the spiritual aspects of money, you can create a life of true abundance—a life that is both grounded and fulfilling, prosperous and purposeful.
