Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

Hey, budget besties! 🙌

This week, we're bringing you straight into the coaching room—real client convos, real financial struggles, and real solutions that you can take and use TODAY.

We’re covering two big topics:

Whether you’re team “chores-for-cash” or you’re just trying to give your teen lunch money without handing over your debit card—this one’s for you.

We break down:

Why separate kid accounts are a game changer
How to start small with a simple debit card setup (no fancy apps needed!)
What to do if your kids have jobs, commute siblings, or help around the house
How this ONE system builds financial literacy, teaches responsibility, and saves you from being the Bank of Mom & Dad

Bottom line? This is less about the money and more about the life skills you’re handing your kids. And you don’t need some overpriced app to do it. You’ve got this.

We’re also diving deep into something that comes up all the time in our coaching sessions: trust around money in relationships.

Shana shares a powerful story from a couple who had been together for nearly 20 years but still hadn’t fully merged their finances. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t because of anything they did to each other—it was childhood money trauma they never unpacked.

We talk about:

What might really be behind your hesitation to combine finances
Why getting financially naked might be the real intimacy block 😬
How to have honest conversations about past mistakes, guilt, and money baggage
The path forward when there’s a history of mistrust—and how healing IS possible

If you’re married (or partnered) and feel like you’re in your own financial lane, this episode will hit home.

Whether you're teaching your teens to track their balances or working through decades of financial “stuff” with your partner, just know—we’re in this with you.

You’re not behind.
You’re not the only one.
And you’re definitely not alone.

🧡 We're cheering you on every step of the way.
