“right” but still feel stuck—this is the
shift you’ve been waiting for.
save time, skip the overwhelm, and start
building a values-based budget you can
shift you’ve been waiting for.
In this intensive, you will:
Finally feel peace when you look at your bank account.
Gentle healing practices help you release money shame and anxiety in real time
Start making financial decisions from clarity, not fear.
The first half of the Intensive grounds you with meditations and somatic tools to regulate your nervous system.
Be held in a space that understands the cultural and emotional weight of money.
This session is designed for women of color, by a woman of color—no code-switching required.
Create a budget that actually fits your life—not someone else’s rules.
You’ll build your plan live, with guided support and zero judgment.
Stop avoiding your finances—and start feeling empowered by them.
This isn’t just theory: you’ll walk away with a working budget and a new mindset.
Build financial habits that feel freeing, not stressful.
You’ll leave with practical tools that reflect your values, lifestyle, and goals—not someone else’s version of “financial success.”
The world told you money was hard. We’re here to rewrite that story.
Heal first. Budget second.
Most money advice wasn’t

That’s where the Heal + Budget Intensive comes in.
This isn’t another “track every penny” lecture.
It’s a supportive, judgment-free space to unpack your money story, release the shame that keeps you stuck, and create a realistic budget that finally feels aligned with who you are and what you value.

“It feels great to have control and to think first, before spending. I'm focused on continuing to make mindful choices, especially during the upcoming holiday session where the temptation to "shop until you drop" will be everywhere.”
- Natasha G.
“Thanks so much for an incredibly engaging and useful session Kara Stevens! So many great tips and awesome feedback, thanks for your expertise and energy!

“My session with Kara was very informative. What I really liked what that she didn't offer generic advice, she asked what I wanted to do, what my goal was. I believe she got an understanding of what my vision is and directed me from there. Kara listened and asked questions, and because of that I truly value the information she provides.”
- Christina Lattimore
“Kara, thank you. The financial coaching session helped me a lot. I'm glad I can now identify belief systems that were keeping me in a "low abundance" mindset. I'm feeling confident with the changes I'm making about saving and spending. "Budget" is no longer a bad word LOL. More than anything you reminded and encouraged me to tap into the self-awareness that tends to be forgotten about during our busy lives. I now feel more secure in the direction I'm going personally and financially. You are a real gem and it was a great experience!”
– Kim Renee
“You gave me so much to think about. I have signed up for the newsletter and I have downloaded my book. I also talked with my husband about some of what we discussed. That went well. I am "ready for my change," Kara! I am dedicating myself to it.“
- Etare
The heart behind the healing
Meet Your Host:
Kara Stevens,
The Frugal Feminista
I’m Kara Stevens, a financial wellness advocate and the creator of The Frugal Feminista—a community built to help women of color heal their relationship with money, eliminate debt, and create lasting wealth.
“I know what it feels like to carry shame around money—and I’m here to show you that you don’t have to live that way anymore.”
For over 20 years, I’ve combined my background in education, leadership, and social justice with a deep passion for helping women uncover the emotional and cultural stories holding them back from financial freedom. My work has been featured in Time, Forbes, and The Washington Post, where I share real, honest insights about overcoming financial trauma and navigating systemic barriers.
I created the Heal + Budget Intensive because I saw too many women trying budgeting tools that ignored the real work—healing the internal narratives that shape our financial decisions.
“Budgeting isn’t just about numbers—it’s about healing the stories you’ve been told about what you deserve.”
I believe financial wellness isn’t just about building wealth—it’s about building peace. My approach blends emotional healing with practical, values-based strategies so you can create a compassionate relationship with money that truly supports your life.
“You deserve a relationship with money that feels compassionate, abundant, and aligned with your values.”
This Intensive is your space to break cycles, rewrite your money story, and step into the abundant life you were meant to create.
