At 51, I am now a Retired "TradFi" Fintech, Banking and Payments Executive. My emotions bought me a ticket to a near death experience. Today, I speak out on the Essence of Commerce and why we must understand the connection between Emotions and Money to fuel families. The future of commerce depends on it!
In every heartbeat of daily life—whether I'm embracing my children, honoring my chapters of life and the wisdom gained, collaborating with business partners, or guiding community initiatives—I witness the constant flow of energy we call 'commerce'. Commerce is far more than money changing hands. These exchanges transcend mere transactions; they are sacred dances of value between souls. As a mother, widow, sister, and servant thought leader, I've learned that true wealth flows not just through digital screens or bank accounts, but through every conscious moment of human connection. When we shift from viewing relationships as transactions to seeing them as energetic exchanges, we unlock deeper possibilities for growth, innovation, and collective prosperity. Each interaction, whether a gentle smile or a major business deal, carries the potential for transformation. By remaining present and aware in these exchanges, we create ripples of impact that extend far beyond the immediate moment, weaving a tapestry of meaningful commerce that enriches our entire community.
In whatever form our money takes in the future, remember that commerce starts with trust.

When I became a mother, I was also a corporate employee. I felt the tides of my heart shift. Over the years my family grew, my corporate career took flight, and my children became my anchor. Sure, I was out in the world exploring corporate life, and it wasn't until my forties that I finally had time, space and energy to take my own compass in hand, and unlock my deeper purpose: to create a world where families thrive, emotions are honored, and financial freedom flows without sacrificing what matters most.
Today, as a certified Youth Mental Health First Aider, a love & authenticity coach and Certified WIDP Professional, I’ve seen firsthand how emotional gaps and worldly contracts and agreements that individuals fail to fully understand ripple through generations, leaving kids and parents struggling to navigate life’s waves. That’s why my daughter and I founded Maiden Explorations—a mother-daughter mission to restore family harmony, empower parents with emotional learning tools, and commerce fundamentals to challenge the gig economy with a business model that truly puts families first.
Families are the heartbeat of our communities, yet too many parents feel overwhelmed, juggling work, finances, and their children’s well-being. I have learned the long term impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)—from stress to disconnection—and seen parents yearning for tools to help them create a path forward for their children grow into resilient, emotionally balanced humans. At the same time, I noticed the gig economy, led by giants like Uber, offering flexible income but often at the sacrifice of family time, emotional connection, and long-term stability.
What if I could create a gig economy that fuels family life instead of draining it? What if parents could earn money while nurturing their kids’ emotional intelligence and building stronger communities? That’s when Maiden Explorations set sail, with a mission to empower women, mothers, grandmothers, and meaning-makers to align their hearts with their work—through emotional learning and a sustainable affiliate business model.
