HOW A STARTED DAY TRADING
MY STORY
“My vision is to break down day trading so it finally makes sense—and to help you trade with confidence, clarity, and create financial freedom.”
I never imagined I’d go from being a natural hairstylist to a full-time day trader. For over 20 years, I ran my own salon and stayed busy behind the chair. Then one day, a client told me she was set to make $4 million from Bitcoin—my ears perked up! Around the same time, another client’s husband mentioned he was a day trader. He was always free during the day, always had money, and I thought, okay…what exactly is this day trading thing?
Curious, I went to a seminar with a friend and spent over $5,000 on a trading course. I listened, I watched…and I still didn’t get it. I felt like a total dummy and never even opened a trading account.
Fast forward a few years, my brother was deep into forex trading and offered to teach me the basics. We spent six weeks on Zoom going over market structure and strategy. That’s when the lightbulb finally clicked. From there, I followed courses online, traded live with TraderTV, and kept showing up day after day.
Now, I’ve been trading consistently for 4 years and I’m profitable. I mentor new traders who feel the same way I once did—confused, overwhelmed, and thinking, maybe this just isn’t for me. If I can figure it out, you can too.
Trading has given me freedom. I went from needing to be physically present at the salon every day to working just a couple of hours on the charts and being done. I travel, spend time with family, and live life on my terms.
When I struggled with prop firm challenges and money blocks, I started journaling—those journals became tools that now help other traders stay focused and confident.
This is my story: from hairstylist to trader, from “feeling like a dummy” to mentoring others. And now, I’m here to help you write your own story of financial freedom.
