The Weight of Generosity
I never imagined that one day, I would become the safety net for everyone I love. As a little girl growing up in poverty, I dreamed of escaping scarcity—not becoming the person everyone leaned on once I did.

What Women Actually Look for in Marriage Material
(Spoiler: It’s not abs or an Instagrammable smile) We’ve all heard it before: “He’s tall, dark, and handsome!” as if that’s some kind of cosmic recipe for a lifetime of bliss. As if the mere combination of melanin, bone structure, and gym membership dues can hold together a mortgage, two kids, and a joint Netflix account without someone eventually crying into their wine. (Hint: It’s usually the woman.)

When a Gift Comes with Strings Attached
There’s something magical about receiving a gift. The flutter of excitement, the feel of shiny newness in your hands, the sense that someone thought of you and wanted to make you smile. It’s one of the oldest love languages in the world: the act of giving.

Empowerment or Exploitation?
When I first stumbled into the world of financial domination—or findom, as it’s affectionately and sometimes controversially called—I was enthralled. Here was a world where women could wield power, demand tribute, and build empires from their personalities alone. It felt empowering, radical even. But as I quickly learned, not everything marketed as “empowerment” in this space is built with good intentions.

Dear Girls Who Just Turned 18: Don’t Rush to Be Sexy Online
I know, I know—you’re finally 18. The floodgates are open. You can legally buy that skimpy lingerie from that ad you’ve been saving, set your Twitter bio to “18+ 🔥,” and open an OnlyFans account with a swipe and a selfie. You’re technically an adult. No more waiting, no more blurred-out Instagram stories. Your DMs are suddenly full of people promising “easy money” or “content collabs.” And maybe your friends are doing it too—posing, monetizing, blowing up, and raking in cash for looking hot on the internet.

Findom Is Not a Side Hustle
Every so often, someone stumbles into the world of financial domination while looking for a quick buck. Maybe it was a viral TikTok that glamorized being a “cash-draining goddess,” or a tweet thread boasting about a $300 tribute from a “wallet with a pulse.” Sounds easy, right? Just slap on some red lipstick, post a few thirst traps, and the money starts rolling in?

What It’s Really Like to Date a Man Twice Your Age
When I first told my friends I was dating someone older, they assumed he was ten years older—fifteen at most. Then I said it: “He’s 52.”

I Married the Rich Man. My Sister Married for Love.
My mom always said, “Security first, love later—if it ever comes at all.” She’d say it with the certainty of someone who had learned the hard way. And I, being the obedient daughter who watched her trade her dreams for survival, took it to heart. She’d been married to my father—an emotionally absent man who, while not rich, had “enough” to put food on the table and keep her dependent.

Why Sex Feels Like a Chore After Marriage
Before I got married, I thought sex would always be spontaneous. You know, the hot kind that happens in the kitchen while making dinner or on the couch during a Netflix binge that turns into something much steamier. I believed marriage would be this delicious, lifelong sleepover with the love of my life. And for a while, it was. Until it wasn’t.

Joy Is a Daily Decision (And Here’s How I Make It)
I don’t remember the exact moment I decided to start choosing joy—but I do remember the year I felt like I was running on empty, constantly showing up for everyone but myself. You know the feeling: saying yes when you want to say no, squeezing into party dresses when you’d rather be in pajamas, clapping for people whose success feels like a punch in the gut.

The Good Girl Trap
I was taught to be a “good girl.” To smile politely. To help my mom in the kitchen while my brother rode his bike outside. To be the one who volunteered to clean up after dinner. To never raise my voice. To get straight A’s but never brag about it. To be competent but not bossy. To be nurturing but not needy. To take care of others before thinking of myself.

How I Turned My Stay-at-Home Life Into a Thriving Online Hustle
I never thought I’d be that mom. You know, the one Googling “how to make money online from home” at 2 a.m. with a toddler’s foot in her face and yesterday’s coffee reheated for the fourth time. But there I was—overwhelmed, overtired, and utterly determined not to let my bank account flatline just because I chose to stay home with my kids.
