A No Spend Month (Sort Of): Episode 42

Katie is trying a No Spend Month (kind of), and Heather is here to ask the questions you're probably thinking. This isn't about restriction — it's about paying attention. After months of autopilot spending (yep, whoops), Katie decided a reset was overdue. She's done this before, it shifted her habits more than expected, and she's giving it another go in the new year. We break down what "no spend" really means (essentials vs. optional), real-life gray areas, and how Katie handles urges and slip-ups. Plus: practical strategies, emotional guardrails, and ways to make this relatable for anyone — whether you're saving for a vacation, paying off holiday bills, or just want more awareness with your money. No perfection required — even a week of noticing your spending counts. Join us! Get In Touch! Email Us!
