Re-introducing myself since the algo reshuffled everyone’s feeds I’m the founder of The Brickell Babes — a community of 70K professional, career-oriented women in Miami who connect and swap local recs. Built 100% organically over the last 4 years. A few years ago my dad sent me down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, and I fell HARD. I went deep into mining… underwrote 50+ sites from 1-50 MW on and off grid. It was a great crash course on all things Bitcoin. I even set up my own at-home node, and converted a pool heater into a Bitcoin miner with the help of @DavidBranscum I majored in economics in college. I’m obsessed with how money actually works and with empowering financial literacy for women... specifically in the world of digital assets and Bitcoin. Women will control $30T of assets by 2030 globally. When I started sharing Bitcoin mining journey on Instagram, the questions wouldn’t stop. These are people you won’t find on Bitcoin or Finance X but they were curious and wanted to know more — in a language that made sense to them. That led me to my podcast, STACKED. We launched in March and have already had guests like @boomer_btc, @CorySwan, @queentatiana, @kbdow, @ChristianL_opez just to name a few The mission: making Bitcoin make sense for people who don’t spend all day on Bitcoin Twitter lol 😅 (I’m not mining anymore — these days I’m all in on growing the community.) Chicago-born, 11 years in NYC, and now Miami is home. I’m back in New York a lot though — if you’re in either city, hit me up!

If an opportunity promises guaranteed returns, run. The red flags in crypto ponzis are identical to penny stock fraud. True wealth building doesn't come with a safety net or a promise. This is educational, not financial advice. Become your own best asset. @stackedassets

Launching a podcast is like building a whole new brand—it's insane work. We're creating 21-25 content pieces per episode, distributed across 7-8 platforms, all powered by AI. It's a daily grind to build this brand. @stackedassets

The hardest part of running two brands isn't the work. It's switching between tasks. Time blocking, two to four hours on one thing, is what works for me. EP 033 of STACKED. Live now, link below. @stackedassets

Sleep is the new Bitcoin for wellness. Forget sketchy supplements – the real alpha is understanding your body's cycles. If you're popping melatonin like candy, you might be messing with your hormones more than you think. #SleepScience #Wellness #Bitcoin

My first big hire wasn't marketing. It was an attorney. Contracts for members, contractors, and developers forced me to run The Brickell Babes like a business. EP 033 of STACKED. Live now, link below. @stackedassets

Top lenders are making thousands a month. Imagine paying your NYC rent with your earnings from Pickl. It's time to open your closet, make that money, and change your life. @stackedassets
