Only 11 Money Date Kits left—want one?

written by Bari Tessler December 4, 2025

Dear Friend,

Money Dates are one of my very favorite practices in the financial therapy toolbox.

In a nutshell, a Money Date is intentional time and space to connect with your practical money to-do’s while weaving in somatic-based mindfulness, creativity, and ritual. You can have one on your own or with a partner. Think of it as a “get-things-done” session wrapped in a sipping-chocolate ceremony.

At their core, Money Dates are about dedicating time—real, spacious, compassionate time—to your relationship with money.

If I could craft a Money Date just for you, I would begin by creating a soft, supportive container filled with compassion, mindfulness, and gentle curiosity.

I’d choose a few simple accouterments to delight your senses and infuse the experience with presence and joy:

A richly decadent drink to sip.

A candle to light with intention.

A touch of lavender essential oil to calm your nervous system as you settle in.

A journal to honor, release, heal, imagine, and dream your way forward.

And before you begin your Money Date, I’d hand you two books:

The Art of Money: A Life Changing Guide to Financial Happiness, offering storytelling, emotional insight, and grounded financial tools to support you through the soulful terrain of your money life.

And The Art of Money Workbook, with somatic practices and guided journaling to help you walk this path with clarity, courage, and care.

My deepest wish is that you have the resources you need to move through the tender places of your money life with steadiness and grace. That you not only cultivate money healing and practical skills, but also experience the feeling—the taste, scent, texture—of peace in your relationship with money.

Two years ago, I turned this wish into a tangible offering: The Money Date Kit.

And now, as this chapter comes to a close and I prepare to create new financial therapy products for 2026, I want you to know:

I have just 11 Money Date Kits left before we retire this offering.

If you’d like one—for yourself or as a meaningful holiday gift for a friend or family member—you can grab one here. Shipping is included and available only in the US. You’ll also have the option to bundle the kit with my Money Date Workshop if you’d like extra guidance as you wrap up the year and step into the next. (You can also purchase each item à la carte.)

Wishing you a warm, nourishing holiday season.

And stay tuned—I’ve got fresh financial therapy magic in the works for the new year.

With dear wishes,

P.S. While I’m on sabbatical, you can still explore my most trusted financial therapy resources — from the self-paced Art of Money program to my Money Date Workshop, Money Date Ritual Kits and my Art of Money books – which are timeless companions for your money journey. They’re all waiting for you whenever you’re ready to take your next gentle step—find everything right here.
