This book is dedicated to the people who have educated, inspired, and mentored me tirelessly with love and care. Suze Orman and K. T.

Travis, my second mommies. I look forward to all the “Suze smack-downs” and K. T. home-cooked meals my future holds! Dr. Phil, my fearless protector, I swear I will try to stay out of trouble so you can enjoy your spare time again. And of course Dr. Jo Ann McKarus, my mom, without whom I wouldn’t exist physically, spiritually, or psychologically. I love you.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Special thanks to my brilliant team who work around the clock to help make the world a happier, healthier place:

My business partner, Giancarlo Chersich—without you I am lost.

My exceptional editor and sparring partner, Heather Jackson, and all the badasses at Crown Publishing. I am so blessed to have your literary genius as my guide.

My valiant and talented writing partner, Claudia Herr. I am amazed you have any hair left after tussling with me project after project.

My dedicated and steadfast right hand, Rosie Acosta. I am loath to put your last name on the page lest anyone discover you’re the brains behind the operation and steal you away.

My loyal crack team at Empowered Media: Ray, Danny, Autumn, Julie, and Tammy.

My beloved lawyer, David Markman.

My gangster team at CAA—Kevin Huvane, Steve Lafferty, Alan Braun, and Lisa—for never letting me accept Plan B.
