September is for Starting

July 28th - Shop local, and other spending values Jul 28, 2025

Do you ever feel guilty about spending money, even when it’s something you want or need?

It’s not just about what you spend your money on, it’s about where and why you spend it.

When your money aligns with your values, like supporting local businesses, buying sustainably, or investing in your health, it brings clarity and peace to your life, not shame or stress.

Spending with intention means your financial plan reflects who you are, not just what things cost.

Want to explore what values-based spending looks like for you?

July 27th - Fast or slow? Jul 27, 2025

Do you need a fast money makeover or a routine that actually sticks?

Here’s the truth:

  • some people thrive by tackling challenges FAST: clearing clutter, cutting spending, generating quick wins

  • some people make lasting change by going SLOW: creating space to process, taking time to reflect, shifting deep-rooted habits

There is no one right way, and in fact many clients switch depending on the specific topic.

Fast isn’t always better.
Slow isn’t always safer.

What matters is what works for YOU.

Which is best? Get the free worksheet and find out:

  • decluttering your finances

  • defining your dream goals

July 25th - Relax. For free. Jul 25, 2025

Think you need an expensive vacation in order to relax?

Think again.

Your nervous system knows rest and relaxation is a requirement, not a luxury, but sometimes your plan doesn’t allow for time off work or the costs of a vacation.

You can still find peace in activities that help you calm your mind without costing a lot of money.

  • Go for a walk. This top tip satisfies your “flight” urge in a safe and controlled way.

  • Try breathing and meditation techniques.

  • Commit to a short time of guilt-free focus on a favorite hobby.

  • Do…nothing.
