About this listen
Snag Our Simplified Budget System!
Budget Besties, buckle up! Today, we're inviting you behind the scenes of our private coaching calls to dish out the real-life budget wins, tough decisions, and "wait, should I buy a zebra?" moments from our amazing clients. If they’re going through it, chances are you are too — so let’s break it all down together.
From surprise escrow refunds and dream farms (complete with cows, chickens, and yes... zebra requests 🦓) to the real cost of keeping an old house — we’re talking about how to prioritize when everything feels important.
You’ll hear:
How one client used a tax refund to unlock a future cattle business — but only after making the right money move first.
Why a bougie birthday and high-end daycare didn’t derail another client’s financial progress.
What happens when income’s flowing, but the accounts are too scattered to tell what’s really going on.
And why not everyone wants to be debt-free right now — and how that can still be part of a strong, confident money plan.
We’re here to show you it’s not about doing everything perfectly — it’s about doing what works for you, and doing it with clarity, confidence, and a whole lot of grace. 💛
✨ Real-Life Takeaways:
Prioritize the money move that unlocks future wins. (Fixing up the old house first = cash for the farm later!)
Use windfalls (like tax refunds or bonuses) intentionally — a plan means you won’t blink and wonder where it all went.
Simplicity is key: too many accounts = too much confusion.
You get to decide your goals. If saving cash gives you peace of mind more than paying off debt, that’s valid.
Budgeting isn't about deprivation — it’s about direction.
