Hello Reader, I hope that your week is going well! Have you ever set a financial goal, only to find that you forget about it in a few weeks? Or perhaps you’ve never thought about setting financial goals and don’t know where to start? For many years, I didn't set any money goals, but now, I know it's one of the smartest things that I can do for my personal finances! I know that goal-setting can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, it becomes an empowering and motivating process that can change your personal finances. So, how do you feel about setting goals? 🌟 Do you have any financial goals in place right now? ✨ What is one goal you’re proud of having achieved, and how did it make you feel? 💪 I’d love to hear your thoughts on this – reply to this email to share your goals with me! Financial Goals: I believe that setting financial goals gives you direction and purpose, whether you're planning for something short-term, like a holiday, or longer-term, like retirement or homeownership. Here’s a quick guide to get you started: Short-term goals: These are goals you aim to achieve within a year – for example, paying off debt or saving for a holiday. Long-term goals: These are bigger-picture goals, like securing your retirement or buying a home. The key is to set SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound. For example, saving £75 each month for 5 years to build an emergency fund of £4,500 is a SMART goal that turns abstract desires into concrete plans. Take Action Today What’s one thing you’d like to accomplish in the next 12 months? It would be great if _______ (fill in the blank!). Once you’ve identified your goal, the next step is figuring out why you want to achieve it. The more personal and meaningful your reason, the more motivated you’ll be to succeed. If you'd like to read more about setting meaningful money goals, check out my blog Setting Financial Goals. Reader, would you like to set some money goals but lack motivation to get you started? I believe you have the potential to achieve any financial goal you set your mind to. Whether you’re looking to create a budget, pay off debt, or save for a future milestone, I’d love to help you on your journey. I’m offering a complimentary 30-minute Q&A call (with no obligation!) where we can chat about your current financial situation and how financial coaching might support you.

Dear Reader, Imagine this: you and your husband, sitting across from each other with a glass of your favorite beverage, talking about money and it doesn't end in tension. You leave the table feeling excited and hopeful, you are working together on your finances, like a team! That's what these five money dates are for. Each one is simple: an opening prayer, a scripture to share and a few honest questions to talk through together. No judgment, no shame, just the two of you: building unity one...
I'm looking for Christian couples who are committed to honoring God with their finances but feel like they're stuck. Maybe you've tried budgeting before, but it never seems to last. Maybe you keep having the same money conversations or the same money arguments. Maybe you're doing "okay" financially, but you know there's a better way to build unity, eliminate financial stress, and create a plan you both feel confident about. If that sounds like you, reply to this email with UNITY. I have...
Dear Reader, For 18 years, Wayne and I told ourselves everything would be fine. It wasn't. But by the 10th of every month we were in overdraft, we couldn't catch a break, and we never talked about it — because every time we tried, it ended in an argument. So we did what most couples do — we pretended it didn't happen. Not because we didn't care or because we were irresponsible, but because the silence felt safer than the fight. Honestly, I wish we'd had someone like me 20 years ago. We had...
