Penny Kidd and Rikki Smith Were Nothing Short of Extraordinary as Our 2025 Emcees.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Penny Kidd and Rikki Smith were nothing short of extraordinary as our 2025 emcees. Their best-friend energy lit up the room in a way that felt like the purest reflection of our sisterhood — warm, joyful, and beautifully connected.

Their humor kept the vibe high, their presence kept us grounded, and their generosity poured out in every moment they shared with us.

As event organizers, we felt safe, supported, and genuinely happy knowing they were at the helm. They carried the weekend with such care that we never had to worry — we knew everything was in the best possible hands.

Penny and Rikki didn’t just emcee the event; they held it. They honored our mission and vision with every word, every action, and every heartfelt moment they guided us through.

Anyone would be lucky to have Penny and Rikki as their emcees.

What they brought to our stage — joy, connection, leadership, and soul — was rare, beautiful, and unforgettable. I highly recommend that you run, not walk, to secure them as emcees at your next event.

How to Feel More Confident With Your Money (Even Before Everything Is Fixed)

Are you waiting to feel confident about your money until everything is "perfect"? Until the debt is gone. Until the savings account looks right. Until you finally feel like you have this whole thing figured out. If that is you, I want to gently push back. Because...

When DIY Money Advice Stops Working (And What to Do Next)

Let's start with an honest question. Has anything actually changed in the last year? Not in theory. Not "I have been meaning to." Actually changed. Is your debt lower? Is your savings account growing? Do you feel less stressed, less guilty, less like you are running...

Why You Feel Bad With Money (Even If You Make Good Money)

Let me start by saying something that most financial advice will never tell you. You can make really good money and still feel terrible about it. You can be out of debt, earning more than your parents ever did, saving every month, and still lie awake at three in the...
