An online guided study to courageously shift your relationship with money, so that you make sound financial decisions with clarity, focus, ease, and grace.
During this time of unprecedented change and uncertainty, people are naturally concerned about money and finances. Some of us are still employed. Others are experiencing furloughs or layoffs. Many of us are experiencing worry or fear. All of us are seeing a need to be more clear about how to use the resources available to us.
Even during a period of great uncertainty, there are things that we CAN absolutely be certain about. We can be certain that we want to provide for our family. We can be certain that we have goals and dreams we want to pursue. We can be certain that we want to show up for ourselves, our loved ones, and our community in a way that is aligned with our core values and integrity.
However, in the best of times, we rarely want to take a deeper look at our financial picture. Moreover, it’s not unusual to experience shame or blame when we do look at how we’ve been engaging with money. Our fears and worries obscure our vision of what’s possible and what resources are available to us. We get it. We’ve been there.
Nevertheless, how are you willing to show up
—even in the context of great uncertainty—
so that you’re making sound financial decisions for
yourself and your community?
We have seen that, while people are under greater pressure to hold family and professional life together, they are also in increasing need for community and tools for resilience. In response, we’ve decided to create a place for support, focus, and clear action, so that you can plant the seeds for future growth.
We invite you to join us for a 12-week interactive course with like-minded folks to help you reset your relationship with money so that—when we return to work and are earning salaries again—you can use your money wisely and in a way that supports your vision, your families, and your communities.
What would it be like to deliberately harness
the energy of money, so that you can experience
more spaciousness and resilience in your life?
During our 12 sessions, we will be gathering together online and reading The Energy of Money, a book by Maria Nemeth. Maria is a personal mentor and an inspiration to both of us! The tools and principles included in the book are the foundation of our coaching approach.
Together, we will go over practical and eye-opening exercises included in the book, so that you can begin using the tools and practices in your everyday life. You may find that having the support of coaches & community during our sessions may be the extra boost needed to take the kind of action that makes a difference for you. We ask that you commit to attending all 12 sessions and purchasing the book so that you can read along with us during this program and get what you came for.

See your own financial picture clearly and compassionately;
Gain tools to better understand your brain’s current response to money;
