Cait is a Canadian writer who first gained recognition with her blog, Blonde on a Budget, where she documented her journey of paying off $30,000 in debt. That experience became the foundation for her exploration of minimalism, mindful consumption, and intentional living.

She later wrote a bestselling book - The Year of Less - where she took on a year-long shopping ban that transformed her relationship with money and possessions.

The themes she writes about—breaking free from debt, rethinking consumerism, and designing a more intentional life—are incredibly powerful from a personal finance perspective.
