If we asked ourselves this question daily, I bet many of us would be living life very differently. In this interactive workshop, we talk about what it means to live your life with the end in mind. Rather than viewing this as morbid, this workshop helps women draw laser-like focus to what they want to do with their lives and inspiration to make action steps toward achieving it.
You leave this workshop with:
- A personal mission statement that they can refer to daily to keep them focused on living their most ideal life.
- A set of concrete benchmarks to keep you focused and motivated on reaching your goals.
- Clarity about core values and how your current spending habits align with them.
- A renewed sense of energy and connection to your life and your passions.
- A preliminary passion-based budget and spending plan.
The primary relationship, the bond between parents and child is clinically considered to be one of the most important and influential in our lives. This is because we enter it without choice or preparation, and at the most vulnerable and impressionable stages of our human development– infancy and childhood. As adults, we are pretty cognizant of how our childhood experiences with loved ones molded our sexual, racial, and spiritual identities. We may even be able to trace the foundation of our political leanings and political outlooks to certain experiences in our youth.
But what about our financial selves? How much do we think about the impact of our primary relationships on the development of our financial identities?
In this interactive workshop, we go rifling through our family trees to get to the root of our financial perspective. With guided practice, we uncover how our parents’ and extended family members’ beliefs about money impact our current financial identities and discuss its implications for helping us reach our financial goals.
You leave this workshop:
- A completed financial genogram tracing the root of their financial identity
- A partner-in-accountability to support their journey toward financial
- A 3-month and 6-month action plan for financial liberation
- An in-depth understanding of how to create financial SMART goals.
What Does It Mean To Engage in Financial Self-Care?
We throw this term around so loosely: self-care. But what does that mean? In this presentation, you will learn the building blocks of self-care from a holistic perspective, which ranges from knowing who to enlist to become a member of your financial glam squad to finding ways to release financial shame, and tools of accountability to ensure you are hitting or exceeding your financial milestones.
You will leave this workshop:
- A clear list of things “to-do” to engage in weekly and monthly financial care rituals.
- A personalized understanding of how to demonstrate financial self-care through savings, investing, eliminating debt, and improving your credit score.
