Description

What do you expect when you think about “Managing your Money”?

Spreadsheets? Budget? Some guy with glasses and a pocket protector?

I don’t judge your choices, but I do want you to know that these are all choices.  I DO use Spreadsheets. They are a great way to help minimize that hassle in keeping my life in a good spot.  I DO use a Budget.  But there is a trick to it.  A Budget is NOT a restriction on your spending, a budget IS permission to spend while knowing you are not hurting your ability to eat.

And here is the trick, until you get really advanced, managing your money requires math that the average person learns in elementary school.  So why does it feel so hard?

When I finally broke down and took a course on how to manage my money, I was in a state of desperation. I had been blocked by trauma, emotional activation, stress, shame, overwhelm, guilt, pretty much anything other than joy and confidence.

This short course is my attempt to look at the human(s) behind the 7-layer dip of emotion, and without judgement, help you to see how your situation can become possible.

It doesn’t matter if you have a pretty good idea how to manage your money, or your debt brings you to tears weekly. I hope that we can work together to find a consistent plan that helps you grow past where you are. I want to help you learn the tools to get better.  I am not special, I simply have been given the tools, and was nerdy enough to dig in.

Session 1: 2026-08-08 11:00am - 12:30pm

Understanding - leave this session feeling empowered and having a goal on what you can do to be prepared for Session 2.

Session 2: 2026-08-15 11:00am - 12:30pm

Making a plan - Take the knowledge we learned since our last session to make real choices about our plan. Understanding that we have choices. Understanding that we have power.

Session 3: 2026-08-15 11:00am - 12:30pm

Accounting for you - “A plan never survives first contact with the enemy”. How do we make sure our plan works for us? What chances can we make to continue to be successful?

This will be held in person at the Ritual Room above Blessed Be Tea.
