Today’s episode is one I know so many people are going to relate to, because it’s not about lack of income. It's about mismanagement, lack of knowledge, and the moments we wish we could redo.   My guest today is one of my best friends, Jessica, who will share her journey of stepping into credit cards without fully understanding how to use them—quickly finding herself in overwhelming debt and carrying that in silence. What makes this story powerful isn’t just the mistake—it’s what happened after. The honesty, the accountability, the impact it had on her marriage, and the discipline it took to not only face it but to completely turn it around. This is a conversation about stewardship, humility, and what it really takes to clean up a financial decision when it’s already gone too far.   👉 Join the Breakthrough Bestie Membership here: https://www.breakthroughbestie.com/enroll 👉 Grab your copy of Budget Breakthrough here: https://www.breakthroughbestie.com/product-page/budget-breakthrough-book

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that God’s provision doesn’t always follow logic—but it always shows up right on time. My guest, Chelsea Lester, shares a defining moment when she found herself with a negative bank account, no clear solution, and no control over the situation. But in that same moment, God stepped in—unexpectedly and undeniably—providing in a way she had never experienced before. That encounter didn’t just meet a need… it shifted her perspective. It marked the beginning of what it truly means to trust God with her finances.   And her story doesn’t stop there. From unexpected provision to walking through the process of purchasing a home—even when doors seemed closed—Chelsea’s journey is a testament that when circumstances don’t line up, God still does.   👉 Join the Breakthrough Bestie Membership here: https://www.breakthroughbestie.com/enroll 👉 Grab your copy of Budget Breakthrough here: https://www.breakthroughbestie.com/product-page/budget-breakthrough-book

In this episode, we hear a powerful story of faith, discipline, and financial transformation. DeLisa shares how during a season of stillness, God gave them a clear instruction: prepare. As they leaned into obedience, learned new financial strategies, and stayed disciplined, they were able to build their credit by nearly 200 points—without going back into debt.   This episode is a reminder that obedience, discipline, and faith can produce results that don’t always make sense on paper. If you’ve ever felt behind financially or unsure where to start, this story will show you what’s possible.

In this episode, we sit down with a young married couple whose journey will challenge how you see faith and finances.   From an engagement season marked by unexpected favor and provision… to a first year of marriage filled with sudden transition, a corporate layoff, and a bold step into ministry—this is a story of trust under pressure. But what makes this conversation powerful isn’t just what they went through—it’s how they responded.   Through discipline, alignment, and unwavering faith, they paid off $26,000 in just 8 months while navigating uncertainty together.   This episode will push you to rethink what security really means, what obedience actually costs, and what’s possible when faith leads your financial decisions.   Join the membership community: https://www.breakthroughbestie.com/enroll

If budgeting has never quite worked for you — even though you’re responsible, motivated, and doing “all the right things” — this video will explain why. In Part 1 of this 2-part series, I walk you through the first four budgeting mistakes I see over and over when auditing real bank statements. These mistakes aren’t about discipline or effort — they’re about direction.

In Part 2 of this series, we go into the mistakes that keep budgets from sticking even when the numbers make sense. If you’ve already tried budgeting, saving, or paying down debt but still feel inconsistent or frustrated, this video will explain why.  These mistakes explain why awareness alone isn’t enough and why so many people keep restarting instead of adjusting. Your next step is applying this to your real numbers, not consuming more content.
