Lillian is the money friend we all wish we had sooner. No fluff, no judgment, just real tactical stuff that’ll help you take control and feel good about money.

Finances can feel lofty and overwhelming, but The New Money Rules breaks it down in a way that's simple, fun, and totally approachable. Lillian’s practical advice is interspersed with candid anecdotes from her own life―what she’s tried, what’s worked, and what hasn’t. It’s a reminder that you’re not getting advice from someone in an ivory tower, but from someone who’s still navigating life, learning, and sharing the lessons so you can thrive too.
