we found $800 in her budget and changed everything


When we met for her Smart Money Strategy Session this week, she came ready to get serious about her debt.

She had been using the debt snowball method, but emotional spending threw her off track.
The numbers were overwhelming for her:

  • 4 credit cards
  • $17,559.98 in debt
  • $487 in minimum payments
  • 24% average interest
  • Estimated payoff time: 65 months
  • Interest over time: $13,972.58

She was tired. Tired of juggling payments. Tired of debt dragging on.
But most of all, she just wanted a plan that actually felt doable.

So we got to work.

Together, we found almost $800 in her budget that could go toward her goals.
I recommended she set $225 aside for emergencies. Because life happens, and we don’t want to swipe again when it does.
Then we put the rest toward debt.

Now? She can put $1,000 toward debt each month.
That alone would cut her payoff time down to 22 months with less than $4,400 in interest.

She also wanted to simplify things and applied for a debt consolidation loan.
She was approved at 12.99% interest—way better than the 24% on her cards.

  • Monthly loan payment: $529
  • Total interest over 3 years: $4,836.53
  • But with her goal of paying $1,000/month?
  • Payoff time: 20 months
  • Interest paid: $2,063.91

She told me, "I feel rich now."

We also made small changes, like closing her high-fee business account and paying off her business credit card (this freed up another $60/week).

All this progress in just one session.
She left with a clear plan, less stress, and more confidence.

“I’m tired of going backwards.” A client said that to me recently, and it stuck with me because I know how many people feel the same way but don’t always say it out loud. You’re paying bills, making decent money, and still feel like every step forward gets erased by the next expense. It’s exhausting. If that sounds familiar to you Reader, I want you to know this isn’t a personal failure. It’s usually a sign that you don’t have the right system in place yet. Without a clear plan, it’s easy to...

On a recent call, a client shared something I hear all the time. She wanted to use every extra dollar to pay off debt. But at the same time, she really wanted savings, too. That push and pull is such a common money struggle. Do I knock out the debt faster, or do I build a cushion so I can breathe? Both goals make sense. And when there’s no clear plan, it can feel like you’re doing the “wrong” thing no matter what you choose. This is where having a strategy matters. Money decisions stop...

Money stress doesn’t always show up as panic.Sometimes it looks like quiet worry.Or feeling like you should have this figured out by now. If that sounds familiar, I want you to hear this: You’re not the only one who’s had to learn money the hard way. BUT...you don't have to keep doing it the hard way. That’s why I want to share a podcast episode I recorded with career coach Nicole Gwanzura. Not interested in receiving Friday Freebie gifts, but still want to get other emails from me? No need...
