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.

✨ Gratitude + Celebration ✨

We wrapped up our Orange Hatter Spring 2025 session in the best possible way—with a special visit from nostr:nprofile1qyf8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetnqys8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfde3xzunrv4kx7mnp9eu8j7sqypqv3ps45u8syese8c5z9udaywvvrf7kcpl0rz4tgaw6a3ng8c5kxfywzwp , author of The Big Print!

A heartfelt thank you to Larry, for generously sharing his time and wisdom with the Orange Hatter women this week.

After eight weeks of reading, reflecting, and discussing his book, our group of women came together for a private Zoom session where each person had the chance to speak directly with Larry and ask their own question.

We talked about everything from money literacy and Bitcoin to personal convictions—what it means to live with purpose, to stand for truth, and to bring financial understanding to the people around us.

It was a powerful reminder that education isn’t just about learning for ourselves—it’s about sharing what we’ve learned with our families, our communities, and our circles of influence.

This session was both a celebration of The Big Print and a beautiful close to our spring season of learning together.

We’re now heading into summer break and will resume in late August.

🌟 I’m starting something new 🌟

A Bitcoin Women’s Speaking Club — a Toastmasters-style group for Bitcoiner women who want to sharpen their communication skills and grow their voice.

Because if you care about Bitcoin, but struggle to explain it clearly… you’re not alone.

This group will be a safe space to practice speaking, share stories, and grow more confident — so we can make Bitcoin education more approachable, relatable, and impactful.

🧡 It’s not about being perfect.

🧡 It’s about showing up, speaking up, and growing stronger together.

The Amish aren’t waiting for inflation to get worse.

Today, I had a conversation with a local nursery owner who's been running his business in the same location for decades. While we chatted at checkout, I mentioned that I teach Bitcoin.

That’s when he told me something surprising:

💥 His Amish supplier refused to accept U.S. dollars.💥

To pay for thousands of dollars worth of inventory, he had to go out and purchase silver coins.

The entire community trades in metal—not paper.

Think about that.

While most people are still trying to make sense of inflation, interest rates, or CBDCs...

Others are already living outside the system.

Quietly.

They’re not waiting for permission.

They’ve opted out.

A parallel economy is already here. The only question is: will you see it in time?

“Stop crying. Your tears are cheap.”

That’s what I heard growing up.

And no matter how deeply I wanted to parent differently, those words still found their way onto my lips during the hardest days.

Even with all the love in the world, we don’t rewrite generational patterns overnight.

But we can begin.

In this new post, I share one small 5-minute bedtime ritual that can help you shift the tone in your home.

It’s not a fix-all. It’s not a shortcut. But it’s powerful in its simplicity—and over time, it helped me build the kind of relationship with my kids that can withstand mistakes and keep connection alive.

If you’re a parent (or love someone who is), I invite you to read it. And if it resonates, share it with someone who needs a little hope today.

And if you’d like to go deeper, I’m also hosting a free 30-minute parenting workshop:

“Wait—Did I Assume That?”

We’ll explore one hidden mindset that can shift your reactions and strengthen your bond with your child.

Because it’s not just about what we don’t want to repeat—it’s about becoming the adult we always needed.

One intentional, loving moment at a time.

🚨 What do food, health, and money all have in common?

They're all being shaped by a broken system—and women across the globe are waking up to it. 🧵👇

This week, we kicked off our first Orange Hatter Reading Session on Fiat Food by Matthew Lysiak and nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46qx4x7uh .

Women signed from all of the world including the U.S., Brazil, Canada, and Dubai.

Different backgrounds.

Different life stories.

Same rising concern:

The system is not working—for our families, our bodies, or our futures.

Here’s what we unpacked:

1️⃣ A small group of unelected officials, central bankers, and politicians have made decisions that affect millions—without asking for consent.

They’ve inflated the money supply, propped up broken food systems, and labeled factory-made ingredients as “safe.”

Families are left to pick up the pieces.

2️⃣ The government doesn’t need to raise your taxes to take your money.

They just print more.

More dollars in circulation = less value for each one.

That’s why food, gas, and medicine feel more expensive.

You’re not just paying in cash—you’re paying through loss of purchasing power.

3️⃣ Even if you don’t homeschool, you can still lead your kids through truth.

You can shape what they notice.

You can guide the questions they ask.

And you can teach them to spot the system for what it is.

No permission slip required.

4️⃣ Thinking differently is HARD.

It’s lonely.

It’s uncomfortable.

But it’s also necessary.

If we don’t ask questions, who will?

If we don’t prepare our families, who will?

We’re building a community where women can think out loud, connect the dots, and lead from a place of truth + strength.

We’re not looking for permission.

We’re not waiting for the world to fix itself.

We’re choosing to see clearly—and act boldly.

🌟 An Evening of Insight, Empowerment & Eye-Opening Conversations with Matthew Lysiak. 🌟

Last night, the Orange Hatter Women’s Reading Club gathered for a special meet & greet with Matthew Lysiak, author of Fiat Food.

After spending two months studying the book, we had the chance to ask him questions, hear about his writing process, and most importantly—have a real, unfiltered conversation about the forces shaping our food choices.

What started as a casual discussion quickly turned into something deeper. We talked about how money shapes what generations believe is “healthy” food, how falsified studies and selective reporting have led entire populations to trust misleading narratives, and—perhaps most importantly—what it would take to break free from these long-held illusions, carefully crafted to keep people from seeing the true impact of inflation.

One of the most powerful takeaways of the night? Our discussion about dignity and personal agency in health.

For decades, we’ve been told by “experts” that our health is out of our hands—that it’s all genetics, predetermined diseases, or conditions beyond our control.

But here’s the truth: when people believe their choices don’t matter, they stop trying. They stop believing in their own ability to improve their health. And that’s exactly how the system keeps people dependent.

That’s why books like Fiat Food by Matthew Lysiak and nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzr08nkh7nk4q9cmw02wkfprkgtk0n8kgszlzyqe384ll3qv5rp453f6g5h matter—because they empower us with knowledge and help us reclaim what’s been taken away: the belief that our choices do make a difference.

The evening was filled with great insights, honest reflections, and some powerful “aha” moments.

🎉📚Exciting News for Orange Hatter Women! 🎉📚

On March 19, 2025, we are wrapping up our 2025 Winter Session of the Orange Hatter Reading Club with a special guest—Matthew Lysiak, author of Fiat Food!

This is one of the many perks of being part of the Orange Hatter Reading Club—not only do we learn and grow together, but we also get the rare opportunity to engage directly with the authors we study.

This event is exclusive to our current members, but if you love thought-provoking books and meaningful discussions, we’d love for you to join us for the next reading session!

Orange Hatter is more than a book club—it’s a space where women support each other, challenge ideas, and grow intellectually in a way that truly matters.

Money matters. But so does who you learn it with.

I know we’ve built something special at the Orange Hatter Reading Club when…

💛 Half an hour past the scheduled time, no one wants to leave.

💛 A member, in deep grief, still shows up—camera and mic off—but finds comfort just by being present.

💛 Another, running a fever, refuses to miss a meeting.

💛 One takes the call lying down, pushing through health challenges, because being here matters.

💛 We can have different political views and still hold space for honest, open conversations.

👉 This isn’t just a club. It’s a sisterhood. 👈

Bitcoin and money literacy brought us together. But community keeps us coming back.

Many women feel like they have to navigate money alone—intimidated by the conversations, unsure where to start. But at Orange Hatter, you’ll find more than just financial knowledge. You’ll find:

✅ A space where curiosity is welcome.

✅ A group where questions are encouraged.

✅ A community that supports, uplifts, and truly gets it.

If you’ve ever felt alone on your money journey, drop a 💛 in the comments. Let’s start a conversation. 👇

New on Substack: The One Parenting Shift That Stops Power Struggles Before They Start

Ever found yourself locked in a power struggle with your child over something as small as spilled milk? 🍶

I recently published an article that explores how a simple shift in perspective can transform these everyday moments from conflict to connection.

💡 In this article, you’ll discover:

✅ Why our assumptions about our child’s behavior shape our reactions—and the outcome.

✅ A personal story about the day my 3-year-old tried to be “helpful” with a permanent marker… all over my favorite pillowcase. 😳

✅ How to replace frustration with empathy—and create positive chain reactions.

Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about perspective.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! What assumptions have you caught yourself making as a parent? Let’s chat about it in the comments!

Can We Really Trust Nutrition Science? 🍽️💰

We had another great Orange Hatter Book Club meeting Wednesday night, digging into Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of Fiat Food by Matthew Lysiak and nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzr08nkh7nk4q9cmw02wkfprkgtk0n8kgszlzyqe384ll3qv5rp453f6g5h

One big takeaway?

Marketing has a way of shaping what we believe—especially when it comes wrapped in "studies."

But how much of that research is independent?

💡 Follow the Money: Millions of dollars flow into academic conferences and nutrition research—mostly from companies with a vested interest in the outcome.

So that raises a couple of big questions:

1️⃣ Which studies even get funded? If a research proposal doesn’t align with a sponsor’s agenda, does it ever see the light of day?

2️⃣ How does future funding impact results? When a researcher’s career depends on grants, is there pressure to find results that keep the money flowing?

This led us to a deeper discussion about trust. 🤨

With so much marketing and industry influence, how do we know what to believe when it comes to our health ⁉️

🩺 A surprising moment:

Two doctors in our group shared that in all of medical school, they had maybe a couple of hours of nutrition education. Yet, they were expected to give dietary advice with authority. Both have since left traditional medicine to pursue alternative healthcare paths.

What do you think?

Have you ever changed your mind about a "common knowledge" belief after following the money?

This book—and these conversations—are making us think differently about what we consume, both in food and information.

💬 Want to be part of these discussions?

Join us at the Orange Hatter Reading Club, where we tackle books that challenge the mainstream narrative and get to the truth behind the headlines.

Yeah, I caught that, darn autocorrect!

Thanks for your comment, Isaac—I appreciate you taking the time to engage!

In my post, I was referencing Fiat Food by Matthew Lysiak, who explores this topic and cites his sources. While I can’t personally verify every historical detail, I found his perspective thought-provoking and worth considering.

At the end of the day, that’s what Orange Hatter discussions are about—recognizing that so-called “authorities” don’t always have our best interests at heart. Many of us have seen people we care about suffer greatly, even after following EXACTLY what the “experts” recommended.

That’s why we aim to think critically, ask questions, and navigate conflicting opinions when it comes to health and well-being—especially for our families.

To me, history is a frame of reference, a tool for reflection.

It helps us step back, consider the bigger picture, and determine the best path forward in our own lives.
