This is the course I wish I had in December of 2021 when I was in over $60K of debt and completely frozen around my finances.

And it some ways, it is…

But first, let me tell you about my story with money.

Before I got in over my head with debt, I spent years running my business without really knowing how much money was coming in and out.

Whenever I signed a lot of clients, I looked at my income, celebrated the success, and immediately started spending — both on personal desires as well as business investments.

And then whenever I didn’t sign new clients, I avoided checking my bank accounts like the plague, except to confirm that I had enough cash to pay rent and pay my credit card minimums.

And round and round I went through the feast and famine cycle, constantly telling myself I was “bad with money” and buying every money mindset book, budgeting template, & manifestation course I could find that might help me fix the problem.

I even hired a CFO to manage the finances of my business for me, but I would spend faster than she could make recommendations, and I would take our meetings from my bed because I was so anxious and shut down around money.

It wasn’t until 2021 when it really started to catch up to me.

I had no idea where all my money was going.

I knew the basics — rent, utilities, coaching payments, cc minimums, and a few monthly business expenses.

And I knew what I owed the various contractors I hired, but I scrambled to get them the money in time and even lost money on a program I ran because I didn’t plan ahead.

Other than that, I had no clue how much I was really spending on my lifestyle or business and was too scared to find out that I was living well beyond my means.

My dysregulated nervous system & ADHD were completely in control of my spending.

Because of my financial stress, I made most of my decisions from fear and anxiety. Plus, with ADHD, I already struggle with impulse control.

I ordered Postmates a lot because I was too mentally exhausted to cook.

I used compulsive shopping as a coping mechanism, even though I didn’t have the money to spend.

I threw money I didn’t have at coaches & courses that I hoped would 10x my income.

And I could only think about short-term solutions, like taking out even more debt & loans whenever I was strapped for cash.

In December 2021, I got to the point where I couldn’t run from my money problems any longer.

Nobody was coming to save the day, none of my fear-driven business decisions made me enough money to crawl out of this hole, and I literally couldn’t take on any more debt.

So I finally did what people had been telling me to do all year:

I admitted that I had a problem, and I sat down to face my finances.

First, I committed to regulating my nervous system and learning how to get myself out of fight or flight so that I could make grounded, long-term decisions for myself.

Next, I printed out all of my bank and credit card statements from the entire year & I manually entered every single transaction into a spreadsheet, calculating exactly how much I had spent on each category that year.

This task alone made me feel a million times better because I was no longer anxiously avoiding my bank accounts. It also became abundantly clear where all my money was going, which helped me heal the subconscious patterns that were keeping me stuck in financial chaos.

 Finally, I learned how to budget and created a series of templates to help me track my finances and budget effectively, even during inconsistent months.

And now I’ve made a 5-day course to walk you through the exact steps I took to regulate my nervous system, face my finances, and start reprogramming my beliefs about money so that you don’t have to do this alone.

If you relate to one (or all) of these, this 5-Day Challenge may be perfect for you:

I don’t want anyone to be able to relate to these things, but I also know that it’s inevitable.

So trust me when I say:

It’s not your fault that you feel so stuck around money.

Nobody teaches us how to do all of this, and in fact, there are a lot of people who benefit from a workforce that is in constant fight/flight and feel like they don’t know how to manage their finances. 

And unfortunately, most budgeting courses and books will tell you exactly what to do, but they don’t address the fact that your nervous system is physically blocking you from doing it. This is why the nervous system module on Day 1 of 5 Days to Face Your Finances is so freaking important.

Your relationship with money is not a personal failing, it’s a societal problem.

And you are not irresponsible or bad with money. You’re just in the early stages of learning. And that’s a beautiful place to be.
