Fearless Budgeting

One of my favorite things about Susan B is her gentle coaching. This course takes her calming voice and breaks down the spending plan piece by piece, turning it into bite size chunks that are easy to follow and implement. Unlike other financial/budgeting courses, Susan comforts and teaches through encouragement and personal stories rather than shaming the student. I felt relieved when I finished this course, whereas before this course I was a tightly wound ball of anxiety around money. Now, onto the second course!

I feel truly grateful for Susan's incredible work. I'm a psychotherapist in my 30s, and just a few weeks ago, the reality of my money problems, spending/debting addiction has landed with a huge impact on my sense of self. I have begun attending DA meetings, and as I prepare to find a sponsor and keep track of my spending for the next 90 days, I found Susan's course. Truly incredible. What I loved the most was her compassionate voice, inviting me to breathe, pause, and not attempt to "tip the bandaid off" and just push through the course all in one sitting. Thank you Susan for this work. I have the basis for a Spending Plan that I will begin using as a get together a PRG meeting in a few weeks. Your step-by-step, kind, grounded, layered approach has helped me truly make a STRONG foundation for a spending plan. I have read SO many budgeting and money books in the past. This has stuck with me. THANK. YOU.

What an awesome and gentle approach to getting budgeting under control. Thanks for your candid and relatable way of explaining things. What a gift. Raquel

Living in a rural area, having no contact with support groups or advice, I was heading into bankruptcy. I was close to questioning whether or not I could go on, seriously. My spending led to debt that led to despair. I knew I had to do something to make a change. Somehow, somewhere, I came across Fearless Budgeting. I've completed Course 1 and feel a sliver of hope. The author has a wonderful cadence and non-judgemental approach to a very difficult topic and teaches the Spending Plan process with an inviting "you can do it" reassurance and calm. I am learning to make decisions to be clear about my choices. I have come to understand the nature of what ails me and have been given a complete set of tools by which to change. Sounds heady, I know, but I was lost in my own world of guilt, debt, and hopelessness. I am finding support through DA online and via the telephone... I am finding the tools to manage my debt and spending through the program offered in Fearless Budgeting. THANK YOU, SUSAN B.!!!

This has been a wonderful way to wrap one's mind around developing a spending plan. I'm excited to put this into use!
