Before we were a team, we were part of a system in need of change.
We grew tired of financial jargon, of feeling anxious about our own money, and of looking for help in an industry that thrives off confusion.
I am viola-playing money nerd from Minnesota! I love incorporating personal priorities into budgets, I drink a LOT of chai, and my family’s budget has a line just for games.
When I’m not tweaking our personal budget, you can find me playing video and board games with my husband Jacob and our daughter Rebekah, watching trashy reality dating shows, or walking our American Staffordshire Terrier, Pikel.
I’m an educator, wife, and mom who enjoys the simple things in life - backyard hangouts, gardening, hiking, and lots of time with family and friends. I have been an elementary teacher, an instructional coach, a stay-at-home-mom, and now I get to merge two things I love, finances + education as a money coach.I co-host a podcast with my husband called Black and Brown Make Green, and I am big on living life as balanced as I possibly can by maximizing fun, minimizing stress, all while working towards FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).
I am a divorced mom of two college-aged kids, living in Little Silver, NJ. I'd like to say I live a relatively active lifestyle when I'm not working! I love the ocean, am an avid swimmer and compete in open ocean swims during the summer here in New Jersey. I grew up in Miami Beach so that was an adjustment! I also am a volunteer on my local EMS squad where I serve my community as a first responder and ambulance driver. I enjoy this immensely and it gives me a sense of purpose and pride. I am passionate about helping others with their personal finances, especially during unforeseen difficult times such as divorce.
I’m a coastal Virginia transplant currently living in the mountains of east Tennessee where you can find me playing all the sports and doing all the outdoor activities. I like hiking, playing sand volleyball, lifting weights, or any other activity I have the opportunity to do! When I’m not out adventuring, I love to start my days sipping coffee, working on the NY Times puzzles, and writing in my gratitude journal. Quality time is incredibly important to me and it means the world to me when I get to connect with my loved ones. My goal every day is to do things I love, with people I love, for a purpose I love. I have an exercise science background, enjoy musical theater, proudly rep my LGBTQ+ community, and have been a personal finance nerd for as long as I can remember. I can’t wait to bring all of my experiences and knowledge together to help you achieve the financial abundance you desire!
I am a quirky Californian, currently living in San Diego, who fell in love with helping people find their financial peace of mind.
I love music, and bond with people over sharing playlists! My personal hobbies include dancing, skating, surfing, hiking, film photography, and traveling.
I am from New England but have moved around for most of my adult life. I am currently located on the beautiful Texas coast & I stay busy with a blended family of 3 boys, my husband and our dogs. When I am not coaching, you can find me running, hiking, learning something new, or rewatching The Office for the 1000th time.
I am a Money Coach and mom of three living in Athens, Georgia. I spent a lot of time as a teacher in higher education, and switched careers because I believe it’s it’s never too late to be awesome with money, to get organized, to pay off debt, or to invest for the future! I live with my husband, children, dog, and elderly cat. I enjoy hiking and swimming and learning new things.
I have built a career at the intersection of journalism, the business of media, and personal finance. This means that I am a communicator at heart, and know how to listen and connect the dots to understand your money story. I grew up in Miami after my family immigrated from the Dominican Republic. I now live on the East Coast. I love solo travel, anything that takes me to the water, weightlifting, listening to old school R&B, personal development, and cannot pass up on a juicy True Crime show. I'm a native Spanish speaker.
I am a proud, tree-hugging Pacific Northwesterner turned Colorado transplant, bona fide cat lady, avid hiker and skier, dedicated Seattle Kraken fan, and former sports medicine professional.I’m a huge nerd when it comes to budgeting, organization, and planning ahead for all the things. When I’m not curled up with my cat, black coffee, a good spreadsheet and Ted Lasso, you can find me powerlifting at the gym to 90s Seattle Grunge, or getting lost in the Rocky Mountains.
I am originally from Pennsylvania, but quit my job and moved to Hawaii once I achieved financial freedom! I consider myself gifted at burning my husband's toast, making really ugly lattes, and making personal finance enjoyable!
When I’m not coaching, you’ll most likely find me enjoying some sort of grand adventure - building an off-grid set up with my husband, surfing, skydiving, or rock climbing!

Amy and Sid met in the early days of the pandemic. As they watched friends and family panic about money, they felt strongly that now was the time to do something about it, and to create a community that helps as many people as possible.
Sid had spent the last few years working with the biggest financial services companies, seeing first-hand how they work to keep people in a cycle of confusion, anxiety, and debt. Amy had left her corporate job as an actuary to become a Certified Money Coach, after experiencing her own financial challenges and wanting to help others take back control of their money, too.
Together, they set out to tackle the financial stress that plagues 74% of Americans, and built Bolder with two foundational beliefs:
First, that everyone else is getting money wrong. Amy has a degree in finance, is married to an accountant, and still found herself with $80k in debt and no savings when her first son was born in 2017. Financial literacy wasn’t enough. Her emotional relationship with money was the root cause of all her financial challenges - and the same is true for everyone.
Yet, most financial apps and wellness programs still focus on literacy rather than emotional support. Bolder addresses the emotional side of money, with personalized guidance and real human coaches guiding the coaching experience, to provide accountability and emotional support that facilitates long lasting behavior changes.
Second, that making financial services inclusive and impactful on a worldwide scale means building for women first. Sid’s first startup was an education accelerator in India, where he learned that if you educate the girls first, the whole community benefits. They bring everyone with them as they rise.
By creating a compassionate and inclusive environment to learn about and do better with money, Sid and Amy hope to empower a generation of women to make bolder choices with their money that benefits all of us. Together, we rise.
