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 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 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 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 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 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 a heart-centered financial professional and wellness advocate whose realistic and simplified approach to money helps anyone make financial decisions easier by leveraging human behavioral psychology to create powerful and lasting change in their lives.
I am a mother of 3 beautiful children and 2 very large dogs. It’s loud, it’s busy, but life has no refunds and every moment of time traded has to matter.
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!
I spent 12 years as a teacher in the Chicago public school system, and now live in Atlanta. I am a strong believer in the power of the mind, so I’m always trying to better myself. I have a certification in banking and finance and I enjoy talking about money and wealth building with anyone who will listen!
My husband, Dante and I own a real estate investing business where we own and manage multiple long term rentals. We have a daughter named Tatiyana, a son named Dean, and we have a baby girl in heaven who we named Angelica.

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.
