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 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 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.
Hi, I’m Todd! I’ve spent over 20 years helping people turn money stress into financial stability using tools like budgets, debt reduction strategies, and systems to rebuild credit. I’ve been in your shoes, and I know it’s not about willpower—it’s about finding the right approach to take control of your money and your future.
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’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!
Hi, I’m Erica, a military surviving spouse and mom with a passion for helping others find financial freedom after life’s toughest challenges. With over 15 years of financial experience and a dedication to empowering widows, sole providers, and those who’ve faced hardships, I’m here to guide you toward stability and independence. In my free time, I enjoy yoga, traveling, and exploring new places with my kids.
Hi, I’m Jordan, a Black, queer, disabled theatre artist passionate about Disability Justice, Economic Justice, and Black Liberation. My work centers on helping artists, creatives, and those with non-traditional income build a sustainable financial foundation while honoring their unique identities. When I’m not coaching, I’m diving into art journaling, cozying up with comfort shows, or connecting through radical pen-paling.

The Bolder team is on a mission to tackle the financial stress that plagues 74% of Americans.
We built Bolder with two foundational beliefs:
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. 👀 Not us. 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.
Making financial services inclusive 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. 🤝🏽
And for Kristina, a financial world that felt like a country club had to go. The “rules” designed to keep people like her (a first-generation Cuban American woman) on the outside looking in? No more.
By creating a compassionate and inclusive environment to learn about and do better with money, the Bolder team hopes to empower a generation of women to make bolder choices with their money that benefits all of us.
Together, we rise.
