Special Episode - Get Shameless About Your Money

As we enter a recession, it's easy to feel like you're the one who failed, when in fact, there was no way to predict what was going to happen in the future.

"I should have prepared more..."

"I should have saved more..."

"I should have known that my job was going to fire me..."

We're here to remind you that you're not wrong,
You're not stupid,
and you are not alone.

We are Brunch & Budget, a financial planning, coaching, and advocacy practice that serves people through a racial wealth equity lens.

In the podcast, you'll walk away:

• Knowing your options: Action steps to take towards financial safety using our very own method, "5 Stages to Financial Legacy"
• Understanding the system: How to identify systems that use shame and trauma to weaponize your trust
• Knowing your values: Gaining agency and ownership of your own tendencies around money
• Relinquishing shame and guilt of the things that you don't have control over

We can't be shamed if we know our options
We can't be shamed if we understand the system
We can't be shamed if we know who we are and what we want (our values)
Get shameless about your money.
