More About Rising Rose
Protecting what matters… You from financial burnout.
Most people don’t get it.
Personal finance guidance feels like it was written for people whose lives are predictable, and then hand out those cookie-cutter templates. Oh my gosh! That’s just not the world most of us live in.
Then there is you over there in the nonprofit space.
A world that most people don’t get it.
They see a nonprofit leader and assume the hard part is fundraising and getting volunteers.
You carry the mission, the staff, the board, the community, and the constant pressure of limited resources. When the building you fought so hard to secure needs a critical repair, when a major funder delays payment, when a core program is suddenly underwater, the organizational crisis doesn’t stay neatly at the office. It leaks.
They don’t see the invisible tax on the leaders mentally, emotionally, and physically. It is rarely just an organizational problem. It lands at home. In the checking account. In the sleep. In the deferred dental work. In the constant low-grade mental calculation of how much more you can personally take on.
Most financial advice treats personal money as a private, separate project. It doesn’t understand that for many nonprofit and community leaders, personal finances have become the unofficial shock absorber for the mission.
We do.
Because we’ve been close enough to see how the weight actually transfers. We know all the patterns of what leaks between home and the organization that often stays in silence. We built Rising Rose for the people who keep showing up for the work while their own ground quietly erodes.
Rising Rose exists to restore ownership of your time, peace, and money.
We don’t do rigid budgets or shame-based advice. We help you build something sturdier. Over time, this is what becomes possible:
You stop living as the unofficial shock absorber for the organization.
Your personal ground becomes steady enough that the mission no longer has to run on your burnout.
The clarity and margin you build at home start showing up in how you lead — calmer decisions, clearer boundaries, and less quiet panic behind the scenes.
This isn’t about becoming perfect with money or chasing after the dream of seven figures. At its root, financial freedom is about safety. When you clock in every day at that community organization putting out fires—not knowing if or when enough funding will come in to carry your program through the year—you’re riding on a scarcity rollercoaster while trying to help others heal, all the while managing your own personal finances at home.
Financial clarity here isn’t a one-time project. It’s a steady rhythm of checking what’s real, adjusting when life moves, and making sure your own ground stays solid even when everything else is shifting.
Rising Rose is for the people who hold a lot. The ones who keep showing up. The ones who deserve support that thinks about them too.
Your time. Your peace. Your money.
No Cookie-cutter advice here. Ever.
You're not getting advice from someone who just took an online financial coaching class.
You're working with an experienced financial expert and licensed bookkeeper who has over 25 years of real-world experience in banking, finance, and helping people manage debt.
With years of hands-on work in financial counseling, mortgage lending, and bank services, our knowledge is based on actual real-life work, not just theory.
We approach your finances with careful attention and proven methods, similar to how high-stakes organizations are carefully checked and maintained.
As the creator of the Tilt Approach—borrowing core concepts from poker to explain how high-load operators react under sudden pressure and author of "Then Life Tilted," I’ve developed strategies to help you protect your time, peace, and money, especially when life gets busy or changes unexpectedly.
"A must-read for those seeking a holistic, compassionate approach to money and life balance."
"Rather than simply prescribing a stricter budget or a set of financial rules, Burch digs deeper into the why behind money decisions. Through heartfelt personal stories, relatable examples, and her RISE NOW framework, she shows how life events—burnout, emotional shifts, unexpected setbacks—can quietly influence spending, saving, and even what we choose to hide from ourselves... What’s refreshing is Burch’s rejection of the guilt-heavy, 'just try harder' approach... offering gentle, loving guidance that meets the reader where they are."
