We talk about: How Michelle went from podcast listener to being a core part of our team ❤️ What led her to financial coaching (hello, emergency fund = credit card era 👋) Why getting a paycheck ahead is the #1 topic in Office Hours—and how you can get there too The truth about savings buckets (yes, we love them, but no, you don’t start there!) Why being detail-obsessed with your spending might actually be slowing you down And how just showing up—even if you’re not ready to talk—can move you forward Michelle also gives us a peek into the kinds of questions people bring each week, and why Office Hours have become a lifeline for so many women trying to make their money feel steady and stress-free. 📅 Office Hours happen every Wednesday at 12pm CT and are 100% free to everyone in our community—no system or coaching purchase required.
