About

Hi there! I’m Meg,
a bilingual therapist with interior design experience and a thing for cash wallets.

I'm a former preschool teacher who learned how to pay off my student loans and transform my own home all while living on a budget!
I'm also a petite Irish Mexican-American who thinks in English, but cusses in Spanish.

SUPER FUN
FACTS

NOW FOR THE juicy STUFF

01

God, family, work. In that order. I take my faith seriously - it inspires me not to take myself
too seriously.

02

My grandparents helped raise me. They taught me how to speak Spanish. Mister Rogers taught me how to speak English.

03

I used to want to be a nun. Instead, I went to seminary and studied Biblical Counseling!

04

Nacho Libre is my favorite movie, and I planned my wedding off it. Taco trucks forever!

ONCE UPON A TIME

I met this boy in 7th grade History class. He's way stronger than me and knows a whole bunch of things I don't.

I have a really wonderful life, mainly because I married this guy. He's a great baker and cook, and my most faithful behind-the-scenes helper. Statistically, we shouldn't have made it this far. But by the grace of God, we've overcome a lot. Any success or blessing I may find in the future is just the cherry on top because I've really found the funniest, most generous husband ever. We're proof that opposites attract, and people really can survive long-distance dating!

Fun Fact: At age 14, this guy rode his bike 5 miles (with one flat tire and no seat) over to my house. His dad caught him sneaking out on his ride back home and both of us were grounded for the entire summer of 2003.

My purpose is to love people.
My goal is to get rich so I can give all my money away.

It's true: it's better to give than to receive.

My clothing brand, A Friendly Reminder, is that side hustle that affords the ability to create all kinds of tools for my community. You can wear words of wisdom on my apparel, or glean some goodness from the resources I create that focus on financial literacy and emotional maturity.
