Hey There, I am Joy!
Your Online BFF for Navigating Your 20s, Personal Growth Guru (also Self-Titled), Dancer, and Ex-Corporate Lawyer
As a dedicated lover of bagels, I’ve infused this website with all the zest and comfort they bring. Oh, and you might occasionally spot my cat, August, sharing a bagel with me—he’s a fan too!
My journey in personal development and holistic wellness began quite literally by helping myself. Picture this: a corporate lawyer buried in endless paperwork, where the tiniest error (like an extra dot on page 15 of a 15+ page document) could get me yelled at. The long hours and high-stress environment had me leaning heavily on self-help podcasts and books just to make it through the day.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve become the go-to wellness guru among my 20-something friends and colleagues. They are not looking for legal advice—they’re seeking guidance on mental health and well-being. Through these conversations, I discovered a common thread: many young people in their 20s are navigating similar struggles.
So, here I am, ready to sprinkle some wisdom on your journey. Whether you’re facing a tough day or just need a little pick-me-up, I’m here to help you conquer those challenges and thrive in your 20s. Let’s make a toast to personal growth, one bagel at a time!
Hey, I am Skye!
Your Personal Finance Coach, Private Banker, Computer Programmer, Ex-Investment Banker, Podcaster.
After spending several years as an investment banker, I began to advise small businesses, occasionally larger enterprises, and many friends and family members on personal budgeting, savings, and investment strategies.
My journey started with meticulously tracking my own expenses in an Excel workbook for over three years, which proved to be incredibly effective. As I progressed to a private banker managing billions of dollars for affluent clients, I conducted in-depth research on investment allocation across various asset classes and gradually absorbed my clients’ financial wisdom. My goal is to help individuals gain a deeper understanding of personal finance and make informed decisions about their financial future.
