Hi Friend,
I have some lovely news for you today: We’re opening the doors up for early bird registration for the next round of my flagship course, The Art of Money 3-month financial therapy program, starting this coming January.
This early registration will end in 6 days on this coming Sunday, and it comes with a $100 discount off the program price. More on all of this in a moment, but first…
It sure feels like we’re living through some trying times lately, eh?
Here’s the thing about trying times: we can plan parts of our life out but there’s so much that’s out of our control. Things that we can never plan for will always come up, and those unplanned things can lead to a lot of unknowns.
Unknowns about the future, unknowns about money, unknowns about (gestures broadly at everything) life in general.
I feel the unknowns as well, but there’s one thing I do know: I’ve been teaching my 3-phase financial therapy method through all kinds of internal and external ups and downs, ebbs and flows, curveballs, and beautiful things since 2001.
I started offering this work right around the very challenging time of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in 2001, and since then, my students and I have navigated natural disasters, wildfires, hurricanes, floods, stock market crashes, the pandemic, elections, and wars.
On a personal level, I’ve taught through pregnancy, having a new-born baby and postpartum, the loss of a parent and 2 beloved cats, book launches, perimenopause, raising a teenager, and menopause.
Through it all, what I’ve seen is that the Art of Money method is a tried and true framework that helps you create a foundation and a relationship to money using tools you can practice in all different life situations…good, bad, hard, easy, or beautiful.
A New Beginning
A couple of months ago in September, my team and I decided to try something brand new with how I teach my flagship Art of Money financial therapy program:
I wanted to try teaching my 12-month program over the course of 12 weeks, and I’d teach the material weekly in live video classes.
This would turn the mostly self-paced, year-long journey into a much shorter, more live, more community based, 3-month learning experience.
Though this path of money healing I teach can lead people on a multi-year path of exploration and growth, we were getting a strong intuition that a shorter, weekly, live teaching format would be better for everyone.
And boy howdy were we right! Everyone loves it.
We’re nearing the last 4 weeks of this first ever live, 3-month Art of Money program, and I’m finding it hard to find the words for how lovely this new format is for the current folks in the program (and for me too!)
Until this round that we just started, I taught this program for 12 years as a year-long journey, with heaps of rich teaching materials in monthly modules, and monthly “office hours” calls where folks could ask me anything.
And before that? Was 12 years of teaching this work under different names and various formats, both in person, online, and over the phone (yes, I taught my work on conference calls while holding a landline telephone that was plugged into the wall. Remember those?)
New Year, New Round
Given the overwhelmingly positive feedback from folks in the current cohort and the through-the-roof levels of engagement in this shorter, live version of the Art of Money program, we’re going to run another round, with the first class happening on Thursday, January 16th, 2025.
If you’re interested in securing a seat in this next round of the program, we’re opening up early bird registration now, as in today, for the January 2025 round of the program. Registration will be open until this coming Sunday, November 24th.
So, why would you want to sign up now instead of waiting until January?
For one thing, if you sign up to reserve your seat in the class now, you’ll get a pre-holiday gift from me to you: $100 off the regular cost of the program.
Secondly, if you reserve your seat now, you’ll instantly get access to all 12 modules of supplemental learning materials for the course, as well as my entire archive library of teachings and interviews with past guest teachers.
That means you can start your journey of writing a new money story for yourself right now, several weeks before the live classes begin.
Thirdly, if you have a business that you run yourself, the cost of this program can be a tax deduction under the category of “professional development” for your 2024 taxes.
Get savvy with money and reduce your taxes? Win, win.
We’re fast approaching the end of 2024 and will soon start a new year. If you’re anything like me, your thoughts will soon begin bending towards the things you’d like to change about your life starting in January.
And for most of us, changing our money story is right up there on the top of the priority list.
If this piques your interest, you can find out all of the details about The Art of Money: A 3-month Financial Therapy program, and secure your spot in the January 2025 class with a $100 off discount, right here.
I’ll send you a bit more info about the program over the next few days to help you learn about what The Art of Money program is if you’re new around here.
I’m raising a glass of warm sipping chocolate to toast your new financial reality in 2025.
Sending dear wishes,
P.S. Stories like this are why I do this work:
“I was doing pretty well with the nuts and bolts parts of my money life, but I lived with a hum of money panic in the background. Every time an unexpected bill arrived, my business hit a low month, or any kind of letter arrived from the IRS, that panic would spike. I’d snap at my partner, fall into catastrophic thinking, and lose any sense of safety or belonging in this world.
Then came Bari and the Art Of Money. By going through the AOM program and receiving mentoring from Bari, I was able to create a grounded, honest and loving relationship with money. I’ve discovered the places where that panic came from (it’s closely tied to my sense of self and fear of not belonging), walked through healing, and created practices around caring for my financial life. I’m never going back to that hum of panic.
When a tough moment shows up, I know how to return to my AOM tools and stay open and loving with myself.”Annie Schuessler
