"I love money!" - How many of us can confidently say that? Huntsville, Muskoka native Bree Payne, for one.

A passionate personal finance advocate and dental hygienist, she’s one half of a "savings-obsessed couple" balancing the pursuit of FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) with a transition to a career in influencing. On a mission to inspire you to be healthy and wealthy, Bree’s creating content about money, fashion, and life in your 30s @itsbreepayne—and she’s just getting started.

  • The role of luck and privilege in achieving financial success

  • How essential conversations about finance are in relationships

  • The nuances of financial wellness

  • Authenticity and monetization in the influencer space

  • The importance of spending on what brings you joy vs. hoarding for retirement

  • How to build wealth without succumbing to burnout

And much more about navigating money, meaning, and modern ambition without losing yourself in the process. If you're trying to figure out how to earn well, live well, and stay true to yourself, tune in.
