Sally Munn
Sally is a retired credit professional. During her 40+ year career, Sally served in leadership positions for 19 years and believes that being a parent made her a better manager and being a manager helped make her a better parent.
As an avid saver, Sally chose to retire early when faced with an unpleasant work situation and Return To Office mandates post-COVID. Her first major project was writing “Raising Kids Training Dogs and Living the Life You Dare to Lead,” which outlines her parenting philosophies while sharing her unique journey into parenthood. Her main goals in writing the book were to create a legacy for her own kids and to share her approach, strategies and ideas to help others raise amazing kids too.
The Appendices of the book offer files, guidance and tactics to help parents succeed as they navigate daycare, save for college and/or navigate choices regarding their non-traditional families.
Sally continues to reside in the 100+ year old house in northern Illinois where she raised her family. She’s an avid DIYer, dedicated gardener, and voracious reader. Sally makes time to take long walks in nature, attend plays/musicals, play pickleball, research and plan future trips with her family, and explore other creative pursuits.
Sally is also working on completing and publishing a series of children’s books that she wrote while raising her family: “Backyard Adventures – Where Imagination Runs Wild.” These books will be added to her website www.SallyMunn.com once they are available for purchase.
