Balancing Family, Finances, and Freedom — How This Couple Found Stability and Confidence Through Trading
For Jeremy and his wife Lauren, life was full — raising little ones, navigating job changes, and doing their best to keep up with bills, milestones, and the everyday chaos that comes with family life.
They weren’t strangers to the idea of investing; Jeremy had dabbled in popular stocks like AMC and Dogecoin, but like so many people, he wasn’t sure how to take it further.
“I’ve done some minor trading with stocks like AMC and Doge,” Jeremy said. “Before that, I hadn’t really tried stock trading. I’d had random people DM me about Bitcoin mining and stuff that just seemed sketchy.”
He was interested in learning, but not sure who to trust — until a familiar face reached out.
The Right Time to Start
When Alyssa reconnected with Jeremy, it was during a major transition in his life.
“Alyssa reached out to me over a couple months while I was going through different jobs and about to have a second baby,” he said.
He had watched from afar as Alyssa and Briana grew Stocks & Blonds into a thriving community, and something about seeing their consistency and success gave him the push he needed.
“My turning point was seeing their growth firsthand. I joined while I was unemployed and looking for a part-time job. Trading helped fill that gap—it helped me catch up on bills and not feel so stressed out financially.”
That decision not only helped relieve financial pressure, but gave Jeremy and Lauren a sense of possibility again.
Why Stocks & Blonds Felt Different
What stood out most to Jeremy wasn’t just the education — it was the people.
“Alyssa and Briana are truly here to help people grow, make money, and focus on families — moms and dads,” he said. “We all know the bills and stress are never ending with little ones in the mix. We laugh and celebrate each other’s kids and moments. One of the best parts is being able to trade at your own pace and still have time with your kids.”
That balance — between ambition and family — is what made the journey feel realistic. It wasn’t about chasing quick wins. It was about creating freedom and stability that fit around their life, not the other way around.
Learning, Growing, and Finding Confidence
Jeremy admits he started out with zero experience in day trading. But he never felt alone in the process.
“Alyssa helped me every step of the way, from demo trading to going live,” he said. “The leadership at OBG is unmatched. We have the best group and team chats.”
The combination of step-by-step guidance and a community that genuinely wanted him to succeed made all the difference.
And like most traders, Jeremy learned some valuable lessons early on — both financial and emotional.
“Don’t be overly cocky,” he said with a laugh. “Your trades will bite you in the ass. But also — be confident and trust Alyssa, Bri, and the leaders. They’ll give you the tools and knowledge to not only follow trades but start making your own without feeling like it’s a risk.”
It’s a balance of humility and confidence that’s shaped how he approaches the markets — and life in general.
Paying It Forward
Now that Jeremy has experienced success firsthand, his goal is to help others discover what’s possible too.
“11 out of 10 would recommend,” he said. “Alyssa and Bri are the coolest sister duo around. My only regret is not joining sooner.”
He hopes to pay it forward by inviting others to join and experience the same growth and financial freedom he and Lauren have found.
“I hope I can help add new people to our group and keep it growing. It’s changed our life.”
