Learn About Office Hours!

Budget besties, we’ve got a very special guest on the pod today… our very own teammate and financial coaching pro, Michelle! 🎉

This episode marks a first—Michelle’s first time on the mic with us, and we’re diving into what’s really happening behind the scenes during our free weekly Office Hours. We’re calling this new series “Lessons from the Sessions,” and trust us, Michelle is bringing the wisdom, encouragement, and big sister energy you didn’t know you needed.

We talk about:

1. How Michelle went from podcast listener to being a core part of our team ❤️
2. What led her to financial coaching (hello, emergency fund = credit card era 👋)
3. Why getting a paycheck ahead is the #1 topic in Office Hours—and how you can get there too
4. The truth about savings buckets (yes, we love them, but no, you don’t start there!)
5. Why being detail-obsessed with your spending might actually be slowing you down
6. And how just showing up—even if you’re not ready to talk—can move you forward

Michelle also gives us a peek into the kinds of questions people bring each week, and why Office Hours have become a lifeline for so many women trying to make their money feel steady and stress-free.

📅 Office Hours happen every Wednesday at 12pm CT and are 100% free to everyone in our community—no system or coaching purchase required. If you’ve got questions, feel stuck, or just want to listen in and learn, Michelle’s your girl.

We’re SO excited to bring her back on the pod monthly to share more real-life insights from these powerful sessions. Get ready to feel encouraged, empowered, and way less alone in your money journey.
