With an MBA from Yale and a rich, 20-year journey of homeschooling four incredible children, my career path took an unexpected yet fulfilling turn into the heart of the Bitcoin universe. It was through my husband's innovative game, HODL UP, that I first stepped into the Bitcoin space, sparking a curiosity that quickly turned into a passionate pursuit. Traveling and engaging with diverse communities unveiled a pressing need: to bring Bitcoin knowledge to more women, to make it accessible, relatable, and empowering. This realization was the birthplace of the Orange Hatter Podcast. Through this platform, I share the untold stories of everyday women—those you meet at the grocery store or live next door. These narratives highlight how Bitcoin provides solutions to real-life problems, embodying the idea that if Bitcoin can be useful to one woman, it could be beneficial to all. My mission is simple yet profound: to demystify Bitcoin for women, showing its practicality and potential to transform lives. This ambition drove me to create a weekly online reading club dedicated to studying and sharing Bitcoin knowledge in an intimate, supportive setting. The journey didn't stop there; I established a women's retreat to bring Bitcoin enthusiasts together in person. This retreat is more than an event; it's a sanctuary for rejuvenating the spirit, fostering deep connections, and building lasting friendships among women in the Bitcoin community. Recognizing the entrepreneurial spirit in many women Bitcoiners, I formed a mastermind group. This initiative supports female entrepreneurs in the Bitcoin space, providing a platform for collaboration, growth, and mutual success. My path from a Yale MBA to a pioneer in women's Bitcoin empowerment reflects my belief in continuous learning, the power of community, and the transformative potential of Bitcoin. I am dedicated to making the Bitcoin space more inclusive and accessible, one woman at a time. Join me on this journey to explore how Bitcoin can be not just an investment, but a tool for empowerment and change.

🌟 Teaching Our Kids Character, One Heroic Act At A Time 🌟

I recently shared my perspective on teaching respect when receiving a gift:

"Teach your children to look the person in the eyes and say, 'Thank you.'"

The parent replied, "Eye contact could make some kids uncomfortable, so parents shouldn’t force them to do it."

While I understand that sensitivity, I can’t help but wonder: If we coddle our children so much that they avoid basic social skills like looking someone in the eye, how can we expect them to develop the strength of character needed to take responsibility for something as important as holding their own Bitcoin?

This is why I firmly believe that Bitcoin education doesn’t start with teaching them about Bitcoin—it starts way earlier. 💡

What If Your Audience’s ‘Resistance’ Is Actually Your Greatest Teaching Opportunity?

Ever stand in front of a group of blank stares and think, "Is it them or is it me?"

Here’s the twist: It’s neither.

The real magic happens when we stop playing the blame game and start asking the golden question:

"Am I speaking their language?"

Think about it:

• They're not disinterested – they’re disconnected.

• They're not unmotivated – they’re misunderstood.

• They're not difficult – they’re different.

The game-changer?

Meeting them where they are, not where we think they should be.

What if we transformed a "boring" economics lesson into a TikTok trend analysis?

Then supply and demand wouldn’t just be a theory – it would be a relevant, daily reality.

The secret sauce isn’t in WHAT we teach, but in HOW we bridge the gap between their world and ours.

🔥 Pro Tip: Before your next lesson, ask yourself:

"If I were in their shoes, would this matter to me?"

❓ What's your most successful strategy for connecting with a disconnected audience?

DAY 10: 10 Key Reasons Why Small Acts of Kindness Build Empowered, Confident Kids Ready for Bitcoin and Beyond

🌟 Day 10: A Kind Heart Leads to a Wealthy Mindset 🌟

Hey, parents! 🌟

In the world of Bitcoin, wealth isn’t just about accumulating money—it’s about developing the right mindset.

Bitcoin empowers individuals to think long-term, prioritize their values, and make decisions that build a solid foundation for the future.

The same is true when we teach our kids kindness.

By raising them with a mindset that values compassion, empathy, and helping others, we’re helping them build true wealth—a wealth of character and relationships. 💛

Just like Bitcoin encourages us to look beyond short-term gains, kindness helps our kids develop the mindset that will guide them through life, making them more prepared to navigate challenges and make smart, fulfilling decisions.

Kindness = True Wealth.

Let’s teach our kids that true wealth comes from the values we live by and the kindness we show. 🌍

Thanks for following this series!

🚨 "Just get a bigger loan." 🚨

That’s what my daughter heard from her college’s finance office when she discovered her tuition bill had quietly increased by $1,000 mid-year.

She had done everything right—worked hard and saved through the summer, budgeted meticulously, tracked every dollar, and planned ahead—only to have her careful calculations blindsided by rising costs.

When she questioned the change, the answer was casual, dismissive.

Her classmates? They shrugged, saying, “Oh, we didn’t notice.”

This moment captured a bigger issue:

💥 how often we’re taught to feel powerless in the face of rising costs, systemic issues, and economic hurdles. 💥

It reminds me of @sebbunney's discussions in The Hidden Cost of Money on learned helplessness—when people feel that no matter what they do, they can't change their circumstances.

But here’s the truth: we CAN change the status quo.

Knowledge is the first step, and when one person’s understanding grows, IT RIPPLES OUTWARD, creating movements and communities capable of transforming the future.

💬 Let’s talk about it.

Join the conversation at the Orange Hatter Reading Club as we uncover the why behind these issues, discuss empowering solutions, and build the knowledge to make a difference.

We are currently on holiday break but will pick back up in mid-January.

📅 When: Wednesday nights at 8:30 PM EST

🌐 Where: zoom (DM me or comment below for details.)

💡 Let’s turn frustration into action and helplessness into hope. Together, we can shift the narrative.

DAY 9: 10 Key Reasons Why Small Acts of Kindness Build Empowered, Confident Kids Ready for Bitcoin and Beyond

🌟 Day 9: Bitcoin Isn’t Just About Fairness—It’s About Joy 🌟

Hey, parents! 🌟

In the world of Bitcoin, the ultimate goal isn’t just fairness—it’s about freedom and joy.

Bitcoin empowers individuals to take control of their financial future and create a world where people can pursue happiness on their own terms.

The same goes for teaching kindness.

When we raise kids who practice kindness, we’re not just teaching them to be fair—we’re teaching them that true happiness comes from helping others and creating positive change. 🌍

Just like Bitcoin provides freedom to individuals, kindness creates joy by bringing people together, building stronger communities, and helping others thrive.

Kindness = Joy.

Let’s raise kids who understand the power of compassion and the joy that comes from making the world a better place. 💛

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s tip on how kindness builds confidence in our kids! 🙌

DAY 8: 10 Key Reasons Why You Should Teach Kindness First

🌟 Day 8: Stay True to Your Values in a World Full of Distractions 🌟

Hey, parents! 🌟

In today’s world, it’s easy for our kids to get distracted by opinions, trends, and marketing everywhere they look. So how do we help them stay grounded?

The answer is simple—kindness. When kids practice kindness, they start building a strong foundation of values. And the stronger their character, the more they’re able to stay true to those values, no matter how many distractions come their way.

Just like Bitcoin teaches us to stay true to the values of decentralization, honesty, and community, kindness helps our kids understand what’s truly important. When they know the value of caring for others, they won’t be swayed by every new trend or external pressure.

Kindness = Staying true to your values. Let’s help our kids stay grounded and confident in who they are.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s tip on how kindness leads to joy in our kids' lives! 💛

🌟 Committed to Growth: My Toastmasters Journey 🌟

A big thank you to Janan Sarwar for inviting me to a local Toastmasters meeting last night.

Every time I attend one of these sessions, I walk away inspired, challenged, and motivated to keep improving.

Over the past two decades, I’ve dipped in and out of Toastmasters meetings sporadically.

Life was busy, and I never found the time to commit fully.

But now, the stars have aligned, and I’m ready to embrace this journey wholeheartedly.

My goal? To become a stronger, more powerful communicator who can articulate the critical importance of money literacy education.

Here are just a couple of the gems I took away from this meeting:

Pace Yourself 🫀: One seasoned speaker shared how he taps his hand over his heart to slow down, pace himself, and articulate his message clearly. It’s a simple gesture, but it’s a reminder that being deliberate in your communication is powerful.

Be Yourself 💬: This speaker also reminded us that our unique communication styles are our superpowers. Instead of imitating others, lean into your authenticity—it’s what makes your message truly resonate.

Paint Pictures with Words 🎨: A different speaker who shared a vivid story about a NASA scientist preparing his team for a rocket launch in 1969 drove home the power of storytelling to inspire and connect.

If you’ve never visited a Toastmasters meeting, I can’t recommend it enough.

You’ll meet an incredible community of dedicated people who are all actively working to improve themselves.

It’s humbling and invigorating to be surrounded by that kind of energy.

Communication is something we all do, every day, all day.

Why not invest in becoming more efficient, effective, and impactful?

And who knows—you might just fall in love with the process and become a Toastmaster yourself.

Here’s to growth, connection, and sharing the messages that matter most. 💡

DAY 7: 10 Key Reasons Why Small Acts of Kindness Build Empowered, Confident Kids Ready for Bitcoin and Beyond

🌟 Day 7: Bitcoin Helps People Take Control—Just Like Acts of Kindness Empower Kids 🌟

Hey, parents! 🌟

Today, we're diving into the powerful link between empowerment and kindness.

In the world of Bitcoin, empowerment is all about giving people control over their own financial future.

And guess what?

Small acts of kindness can do the same for our kids.

When kids practice kindness—whether it's helping a friend, taking responsibility for their actions, or offering a kind word—they feel more capable and in control.

This sense of empowerment helps them navigate life's challenges and make smart decisions, especially when it comes to managing money and other resources.

Just like Bitcoin helps people take control of their financial futures, kindness empowers kids to take charge of their own lives and make positive choices.

The more we encourage kindness, the more our kids will grow into confident, empowered individuals who are ready to face the world.

Kindness = Empowerment.

Let’s teach our kids to feel empowered through everyday acts of kindness. 💛

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s tip on how kindness helps keep the kids grounded! 🌍

Life can be full of surprises, can’t it? 🌟

As you go through life—learning new things and facing new challenges—don’t be afraid to change your path.

Some of my best moments happened because I trusted my gut and made choices I didn’t plan for.

I never thought I’d be invited to speak to a group of empowered women in Ghana about finding their own unique paths.

But here I am, standing in this moment, because my life took many unexpected turns that led me here.

Your journey is your own. It won’t look like anyone else’s, and that’s a good thing! We all have special gifts and roles to play. ✨

So, trust yourself and believe in your path. The twists and turns can lead to happiness and amazing things you never saw coming. 🚀

DAY 6: 10 Key Reasons Why Small Acts of Kindness Build Empowered, Confident Kids Ready for Bitcoin and Beyond

🌟 Day 6: Caring for Others Builds Community 🌟

Hey, parents! 🌟

Today, we’re talking about how small acts of kindness help build community—a key principle that connects to the world of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is all about people coming together, helping each other, and creating something better. The same is true for kindness.

When kids practice kindness—whether it’s helping a neighbor, being patient with a friend, or offering a kind word—they learn how to care for others and understand the power of working together.

These simple acts show them that we are all connected and that helping others makes everyone stronger.

As they grow, kids who practice kindness develop empathy and the ability to make smart decisions—especially when it comes to sharing resources and supporting one another.

Kindness = Stronger communities.

Let’s teach our kids the importance of compassion and working together to make the world a better place! 🌍

Whether they’re waiting their turn, helping without expecting something in return, or practicing self-control, these actions build patience that will serve them in all areas of life, including making smart financial decisions.

Teaching patience early on through kindness helps kids develop the mindset that good things come with time—and it sets them up for success as they grow older.

💔🐾 A Heartbreaking Thanksgiving and What It Highlighted About Money 💔🐾

This Thanksgiving, my daughter brought our foster dog, Tux 🐕, to visit his former owner.

The woman had been moved to a nursing home because of Alzheimer’s, and Tux was left behind in her backyard until a rescue group found him.

She cried for weeks after losing her dog 😢.

Tux stayed at the rescue facility for almost a year, spending most of his time in a kennel...until he came to us.

When she saw Tux again this weekend, she was overjoyed—but saying goodbye broke her heart all over again 💔.

She begged my daughter to take good care of him. It was a moment that left us all in tears 😭.

Stories like this are all too common.

In America, many of us dread getting old.

We imagine sickness, loneliness, and losing the people (or pets) we love 🧓💔🐕.

Worse, we don’t just fear it—we expect it.

But why? 🤔

It’s not just bad luck or poor planning.

One big reason is that people are fighting to keep up with the rising cost of everything.

Inflation is eating away at what our money can buy.

Families rely on two incomes—or even multiple jobs—just to survive.

As nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna explains in The Hidden Cost of Money, this isn’t just about dollars and cents 💵.

It’s about time ⏳ and relationships ❤️.

When parents are too tired from working, they have little left to give their kids—or their aging parents.

So, kids go to daycare and before- or after-school programs, and our elderly are sent to nursing homes.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

If we all understood how money printing and inflation work, we’d see that this isn’t about politics.

😡 It’s about a system that steals from everyone by reducing the value of the money we hold.

The first step to changing this is education 📚💡.

Knowledge gives us power—the power to make better decisions for ourselves and our families.

That’s what we’re building at Orange Hatter—a place for curious people to learn, share ideas, and take action.

If you’re ready to start asking the right questions and finding real answers, join the conversation.

Together, we can work toward a future where stories like Tux’s aren’t so common 🐾❤️.

🎉 Celebrating a Big Moment in Ghana! 🎉

This morning, I had the honor of speaking to the first women’s Bitcoin cohort graduates with Bitfiasi Initiative. Thank you, Gideon Kombian and Lydia Sena Ami Kudowor, for inviting me to this celebration!

To encourage the graduates, I reflected on my journey, full of unexpected turns, that brought me to where I am today, filled with joy and purpose.

Here are some of the pivotal life moments I shared with these amazing women:

👉 Choosing to stay home with my baby (instead of pursuing my career) taught me to follow my heart, not just my head.

👉 Choosing to homeschool for 20 years (instead of sending my kids to school) gave me valuable experience in teaching.

👉 Choosing to go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole (instead of accepting the norm) helped me understand how money really works.

👉 Choosing to devote full time to teaching women about money (instead of getting a "job") gave me the confidence to speak and celebrate the female voice.

To the graduates, I said:

💡 “Society may push you to follow the ‘normal’ path, but you have the power to choose what’s right for you. Trust your instincts and values.”

Here’s my advice:

✨ Keep an open mind. Bitcoin is just one tool you’ll use in life.

✨ Don’t be afraid to change your path. The unexpected can lead to your greatest growth.

I never imagined I’d be here, speaking to such incredible women in Ghana. But trusting my instincts and embracing change brought me to this amazing moment.

To the graduates: Congratulations! This is just the beginning. Trust yourself, embrace new opportunities, and believe in your future. 🌟

Here’s to all the great things ahead! 🎓✨

#BitcoinEducation #WomenEmpowerment #LifeLessons #Graduation #FinancialLiteracy

"If you educate a man, you educate one person. If you educate a woman, you educate a family—and a whole nation."- Dr. James Emman Kwegyir-Aggrey 💡

Women have always been the backbone of families, but when they are financially educated, their impact goes far beyond their households.

A financially literate woman can make better decisions for her family, invest in her children's future, and create opportunities that strengthen her entire community.

Money literacy is not just about numbers—it’s about power, freedom, and security. It’s about giving women the confidence to take control of their financial lives, make smarter choices, and pass down the knowledge to the next generation.

Imagine a world where every woman understands money—how it works, how to save it, and how to grow it.

With this knowledge, women can take control of their finances, plan for the future, and make informed decisions that benefit not just themselves but everyone around them.

When women are equipped with money literacy, they gain the tools to create security, opportunities, and lasting change for their families and communities.

Let’s recognize the critical role women play in shaping the future and commit to making financial education accessible to all.
