Before we were a team, we were part of a system in need of change.
We grew tired of financial jargon, of feeling anxious about our own money, and of looking for help in an industry that thrives off confusion.
I am a quirky Californian, currently living in San Diego, who fell in love with helping people find their financial peace of mind.
I love music, and bond with people over sharing playlists! My personal hobbies include dancing, skating, surfing, hiking, film photography, and traveling.
I am a Money Coach and mom of three living in Athens, Georgia. I spent a lot of time as a teacher in higher education, and switched careers because I believe it’s it’s never too late to be awesome with money, to get organized, to pay off debt, or to invest for the future! I live with my husband, children, dog, and elderly cat. I enjoy hiking and swimming and learning new things.
Hi, I’m Todd! I’ve spent over 20 years helping people turn money stress into financial stability using tools like budgets, debt reduction strategies, and systems to rebuild credit. I’ve been in your shoes, and I know it’s not about willpower—it’s about finding the right approach to take control of your money and your future.
I am a divorced mom of two college-aged kids, living in Little Silver, NJ. I'd like to say I live a relatively active lifestyle when I'm not working! I love the ocean, am an avid swimmer and compete in open ocean swims during the summer here in New Jersey. I grew up in Miami Beach so that was an adjustment! I also am a volunteer on my local EMS squad where I serve my community as a first responder and ambulance driver. I enjoy this immensely and it gives me a sense of purpose and pride. I am passionate about helping others with their personal finances, especially during unforeseen difficult times such as divorce.
I am viola-playing money nerd from Minnesota! I love incorporating personal priorities into budgets, I drink a LOT of chai, and my family’s budget has a line just for games.
When I’m not tweaking our personal budget, you can find me playing video and board games with my husband Jacob and our daughter Rebekah, watching trashy reality dating shows, or walking our American Staffordshire Terrier, Pikel.
I’m an educator, wife, and mom who enjoys the simple things in life - backyard hangouts, gardening, hiking, and lots of time with family and friends. I have been an elementary teacher, an instructional coach, a stay-at-home-mom, and now I get to merge two things I love, finances + education as a money coach. I co-host a podcast with my husband called Black and Brown Make Green, and I am big on living life as balanced as I possibly can by maximizing fun, minimizing stress, all while working towards FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).
Hi, I’m Stephanie! I'm a money coach with a love for simplifying and organizing personal finance. Whether working with young professionals budgeting that first paycheck, parents in need of cash clarity, or folks playing catch-up on retirement savings, I empower my clients to take action toward their major life milestones. Outside of coaching, I’m a reality TV fan, a finance book enthusiast, and a wife and mom raising three financially savvy young adults.
Hi, I’m Erica, a military surviving spouse and mom with a passion for helping others find financial freedom after life’s toughest challenges. With over 15 years of financial experience and a dedication to empowering widows, sole providers, and those who’ve faced hardships, I’m here to guide you toward stability and independence. In my free time, I enjoy yoga, traveling, and exploring new places with my kids.
Hi, I’m Andrea – a proud Jersey girl with a passion for helping ambitious women take control of their finances and create a life that truly aligns with your dreams. With 30 years of experience in the financial industry and over a decade as an entrepreneur, I know what it takes to transform money challenges into stepping stones for success. My mission? To help you build financial confidence, clarity, and the success you’ve always envisioned.
Hi, I’m Lynn, a financial coach with a Montana farm-girl work ethic and a knack for turning financial chaos into clarity. From battling bankruptcy to repossessions (even a garbage can), I’ve seen it all and emerged ready to guide others through their toughest money challenges. Whether you’re tackling student loans, credit issues, or big financial goals, I’m here to help—with a little humor along the way!
As an Accredited Financial Counselor with a background in marriage and family counseling, I’m passionate about helping women and marginalized communities transform their relationship with money. I love empowering clients to overcome systemic barriers and achieve financial freedom with confidence and purpose. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me traveling, discovering new brunch spots, or spending time with my family.
I’m a coastal Virginia transplant currently living in the mountains of east Tennessee where you can find me playing all the sports and doing all the outdoor activities. I like hiking, playing sand volleyball, lifting weights, or any other activity I have the opportunity to do! When I’m not out adventuring, I love to start my days sipping coffee, working on the NY Times puzzles, and writing in my gratitude journal. Quality time is incredibly important to me and it means the world to me when I get to connect with my loved ones. My goal every day is to do things I love, with people I love, for a purpose I love. I have an exercise science background, enjoy musical theater, proudly rep my LGBTQ+ community, and have been a personal finance nerd for as long as I can remember. I can’t wait to bring all of my experiences and knowledge together to help you achieve the financial abundance you desire!
Amy and Sid met in the early days of the pandemic. As they watched friends and family panic about money, they felt strongly that now was the time to do something about it, and to create a community that helps as many people as possible.
Sid had spent the last few years working with the biggest financial services companies, seeing first-hand how they work to keep people in a cycle of confusion, anxiety, and debt. Amy had left her corporate job as an actuary to become a Certified Money Coach, after experiencing her own financial challenges and wanting to help others take back control of their money, too.
Together, they set out to tackle the financial stress that plagues 74% of Americans, and built Bolder with two foundational beliefs:
First, that everyone else is getting money wrong. Amy has a degree in finance, is married to an accountant, and still found herself with $80k in debt and no savings when her first son was born in 2017. Financial literacy wasn’t enough. Her emotional relationship with money was the root cause of all her financial challenges - and the same is true for everyone.
Yet, most financial apps and wellness programs still focus on literacy rather than emotional support. Bolder addresses the emotional side of money, with personalized guidance and real human coaches guiding the coaching experience, to provide accountability and emotional support that facilitates long lasting behavior changes.
Second, that making financial services inclusive and impactful on a worldwide scale means building for women first. Sid’s first startup was an education accelerator in India, where he learned that if you educate the girls first, the whole community benefits. They bring everyone with them as they rise.
By creating a compassionate and inclusive environment to learn about and do better with money, Sid and Amy hope to empower a generation of women to make bolder choices with their money that benefits all of us. Together, we rise.
