When money feels tight, it’s easy to spiral into stress and overwhelm. That’s where a bare bones budget comes in. This isn’t about restriction—it’s about clarity and control. In this episode of the Her Money Mindset Podcast, I’m walking you through exactly how to create a budget that covers only the essentials, so you can keep your life running even in tough seasons.

You’ll learn:

• What a bare bones budget is (and why it’s different from your regular budget)
• The exact steps to build one when income dips or expenses rise
• How to decide what’s essential vs. what can wait
• Mindset shifts to remind yourself this is temporary, not forever

By the end, you’ll have the confidence to know your baseline and the peace of mind that you can make it work, even when things are tight.
