From anxious beginnings to empowered action —
here’s the real story of how I started glowing ✨
Hi, I’m Ayu — a digital creator & money mentor, based in the U.S.After becoming a mom, I found myself struggling with money anxiety and a lack of career confidence. I didn’t come from a wealthy background, and I didn’t have a fancy degree or a clear path forward.Before diving into money education, I worked as a Japanese language teacher and also ran a small handmade jewelry business — designing, selling, and learning how to build something from scratch.But I realized something: if I wanted to create a different future for my kids — and for myself — I had to start where I was. So I began learning.I studied personal finance, explored investing, and eventually earned certifications in both Japan (FP3級) and the U.S. (life insurance license). With small savings and a curious mind, I started taking action — even if imperfectly.Today, I create digital tools and educational content that help other moms like me feel empowered, informed, and inspired. Whether it’s through AI prompts, money routines, or honest stories on Instagram, everything I share comes from my real experience and a desire to help others grow.I believe money isn’t just about saving — it’s about possibility. And you don’t need to be “ready” to begin.Thanks for being here.Let’s glow and grow — together. 🤍
