Worrying about money is exhausting and you deserve to stop feeling anxious about your financial situation

If you have financial anxiety or money trauma you might experience:

  • A fear of having to budget, finding enough to save, and where to even start with investing

  • Never-ending worry about your job security, having enough, or saving enough for retirement

  • Comparing yourself to other people who may appear to have more financial stability or success

  • Like you don't have any control over your financial situation

I am here to help you heal your money trauma

I have high-functioning anxiety and know how it feels to feel like you've been left behind financially and constantly obsess over your bank account balance.

Bills and Chills is my personal approach and method to working through the why behind your money stress and how I've managed to go from being behind on credit card payments and checking my online banking several times a day to trusting myself and my money decisions.

Now I feel

  • ✔ Less anxious about my spending

    ✔ Like I'm right where I'm supposed to be instead of falling behind

    ✔ More secure in my retirement plan

Stop letting money control you, and start controlling your money

Bills and Chills isn’t just math and numbers. Instead, it's a comforting course that's heavily focused on the emotional side of our money.

Worrying about money is exhausting. And for many of us, when we worry, we lose the energy and space to control our spending. Most people forget that if we are anxious, stressed or don’t have a good relationship with money, those feelings impact how we spend, save, avoid or obsess over our finances.

Instead of building a budget and hoping for the best, I can help you identify the roots of your anxiety and how you can start to build a tool belt full of ways to manage those fears.

You deserve to feel more secure. To be able to spend money without feeling like every purchase is the biggest purchase you’ll ever make. I can help you get there — and ensure you feel less alone.

In Bills and Chills, I teach you exactly what financial anxiety is, how it impacts your finances, what type of money trauma you may have, how to create a healthier relationship with your wallet and what you can do to build a solid foundation for your finances.

Bills and Chills focuses on taming your financial fears and anxiety so that you can finally clear up space in your mind to focus on the things that bring you joy — rather than the things that cause you stress.
