The people behind Unreliant's guides and articles. Everything they write is meant to inform — it isn't professional financial, medical, or legal advice.

Personal-finance writer & recovering over-spender

Maya writes about money the way she wishes someone had explained it to her at 22 — plainly, with real numbers and none of the jargon. She isn't a financial advisor; she's someone who spent her twenties digging out of credit-card debt, got a little obsessive about budgeting, and now turns intimidating financial math into decisions anyone can make. Everything she writes is meant to inform, not to be personal financial advice.

Health & wellness writer, data-curious

Priya likes the numbers behind healthy habits — the calorie target that actually fits your day, the water goal that isn't a myth, the BMI caveat nobody mentions. She's a writer, not a doctor or dietitian, and she's careful to say so: her goal is to explain the math clearly so you can talk to a real professional from an informed place. Curious, practical, and allergic to fad-diet nonsense.

DIY & home-projects writer

Cole learned home projects the way most people do — by doing a few of them wrong the first time. He writes the practical math side of DIY: how much paint you actually need, whether a flooring quote is fair, what a project really costs before you start. He's a hands-on hobbyist, not a licensed contractor, so he sticks to the planning and the numbers and leaves the code-and-permit calls to the pros.
