ANECDOTE

Early Money Moment That Shaped Her

  • Amy's first money memory was her firefighter dad working extra shifts to earn $500 and that moment sparked big thinking about money.
  • She asked him if he'd ever had a million dollars and learned he had earned that much over time but didn't have it all saved.
INSIGHT

  • Amy realized entrepreneurship felt 'risky' and even 'irresponsible' because of cultural expectations about stability and benefits.
  • That perception delayed her entertaining entrepreneurship until she prioritized freedom over being the 'good girl.'

  • Amy describes discovering pay disparity early in her career when a later hire earned far more than she did, which planted seeds of resentment.
  • That experience later fueled her desire to control income and not rely on bosses to value her fairly.
