Clinical psychologist. And a woman who was quietly terrified of money.
I studied clinical psychology at the University of Zurich for six years. I built my own practice. I sold it.
And for most of that time I was quietly terrified of money.
I grew up well. I had things. And I knew from very early that money was difficult in my family. Not dramatic. Not poor. Just tense — the subject that made the room change. That is enough. That is all it takes to install a belief that follows you into every invoice you will ever send.
I had my first business at twelve. By eighteen I had another. By twenty-one I had two more. You would think that makes me good with money. It didn't. It made me fast, and it made me anxious, and it taught me almost nothing about how to hold any of it.
Making money and keeping money are two completely different nervous systems.
Somewhere in the middle of those six years, I realised I was learning all of this to help other people — and I had never once pointed it at the thing that terrified me most.
So I did the embarrassing thing. I became my own first client.
I used my own psychological training on myself — not to think differently, but to feel safe differently. That is the part everyone skips. You cannot reason your way out of a survival response.
It worked. Slowly, unglamorously, and completely.
The thing I took out of that practice was not a technique. It was the pattern, over and over, in woman after woman: they knew exactly what to do, and their bodies would not let them do it.
In October 2025 I started posting here faceless, and I honestly thought my degree would be enough.
It didn't. Then I disappeared for a while — because I was posting without a system and calling it effort. Posting and hoping. Posting and refreshing. Posting and getting nothing back.
That is the honest reason. And it is why everything I teach now is built as a system rather than a vibe: rules, repetition, measurement, and doing the boring thing the same way every day.
People don't trust credentials. They trust connection. So I started over — with my face, with my voice, and with the parts I used to edit out.
I am 24. I have started businesses since I was twelve, studied psychology for six years, built a practice and sold it — and spent most of that time quietly terrified of money.
That last part is the only qualification that matters here.

Ninety minutes with me on Zoom. We find the moment your nervous system decides to spend, price, or give it away — and we practise the protocol that interrupts it before the money leaves. It is free, and the twenty seats are real.
