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…

Dear friend, This is a question — a mantra — I’ve been holding lately: What brave things am I doing? Bravery doesn’t always look like bold leaps or loud moves. Sometimes it’s quiet, tender, deeply personal. Sometimes it’s practical. Sometimes it’s inconvenient. Sometimes it’s delicious. Here are a few of my recent brave things… I finally made challah from scratch. You may know I learned to bake and cook six years ago, when I turned 50. If you’ve followed along…

So, for the first time ever, I’m offering The Art of Money in a fully self-paced format, a spacious, flexible way for you to engage with this work on your…

Dear Friend, Since announcing my sabbatical, I’ve been getting sweet, curious questions: What are you doing with all your free time? Do you wake up every morning and just follow the magic? The truth is… yes, there are pockets of magic. And yes, I do have more space to follow the thread of what feels alive each day.

Dear friend, For the last few weeks, I’ve been counting down the “lasts.” The last live class.The last podcast interview.The last private session. I’ve been staying as present as I can with each one — not rushing through, not skipping ahead, just… being with the endings. It’s made my senses more alive. Sharpened.
