Hey there! I’m Eden and I’m the voice behind Mint Notion.
I created Mint Notion back in 2014 as a place to empower others to get their money under control.
Before I started Mint Notion, I used to work in a corporate office and would spend my lunch hour shopping online.
I was constantly buying things I didn’t need and I felt like my life had no direction.
Then one day I decided to go back to school and get my MBA. I made a financial plan to save money instead of blowing it on fancy dinners or designer shoes.
I used to be a shopaholic and have recently made the transition to a minimalist lifestyle. This has shown me how to save money and live more with intention.
I even did the no new clothing challenge for a year, which taught me A LOT about my spending triggers and how to be happier with less.
Now I do regular no-spend or low-buy months to save money, be more productive, and spend time doing more of the things I love – which is traveling and playing with my baby daughter.
I graduated Business School with NO debt and have developed some clever ideas to save and make money along the way.
Now I enjoy helping others learn how to make their money work for them by developing winning financial habits so they can live their best life.
Today Mint Notion has grown into a vibrant community of amazing women which receives over 2 million page views per year.
My goal is to inspire you to create the life you want by helping you get good with money!
