Whether you're paying off debt, focused on saving for a goal, or trying to get a handle on your spending, you’ve got money on your mind.
Yet for many women, talking about money feels uncomfortable.
Maybe you've been putting off creating a budget. Or know you should start investing but don't know where to begin. Or you've felt embarrassed about debt or wondered if everyone else has it figured out.
You're not alone.
Many of us were taught that talking about money is impolite, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or stuck.
Let's Talk About Money is a retreat designed to change that.
Join us fora a judgment-free retreat to rewrite your money story and build the life you want. Because money isn't the goal. More choices are.
We'll create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can have honest conversations about money, explore the memories and stories that have shaped your financial life, and make meaningful progress toward the goals that matter most.

We'll create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can have honest conversations about money, explore the memories and stories that have shaped your financial life, and make meaningful progress toward the goals that matter most.
What You’ll Do
First, you'll engage in a guided reflection and group discussion. This safe, judgment-free space allows you to explore your personal money story and the historical barriers women have faced in building wealth. By sharing your experiences, you’ll uncover how they shape your current relationship with money.
Next, you’ll use visualization exercises and journal prompts to clarify what financial freedom means to you. This is your opportunity to dream big and gain clarity on your personal financial goals and the life you want to create.
Finally, you’ll work on your specific financial goal, your Money Project—whether it’s paying off debt, budgeting, saving, or investing. Bring what you’ve been working on or use our prompts and worksheets. You’ll leave with actionable steps and meaningful progress on a financial goal that matters to you.
What You’ll Leave with:
Greater comfort in talking about money
A healthier relationship with money rooted in understanding instead of shame
A clearer vision for the life you're building—and how your finances can help you get there
A deeper understanding of the beliefs and experiences that have shaped your money story
Meaningful progress on a financial goal that's important to you.
When women build financial confidence, they gain more than a healthier bank account. They gain the freedom to make decisions that align with their values and the life they want to create.
Maybe that's leaving a job that no longer serves you. Starting a business you've been dreaming about. Buying your first home. Taking time off to care for yourself or your family. Traveling. Giving generously. Retiring with peace of mind. Or simply sleeping better because you know where your money is going.
Money is a tool—not the destination. The real goal is creating a life where you have more choices, more confidence, and more freedom to live on your own terms.
Reserve your spot today andconnect with women who are ready to stop being hush hush about money & start using it as a tool to build the life they want.
At the end of the retreat, you’ll leave with a healthier relationship with money rooted in understanding instead of shame, a clearer vision for the life you're building, and meaningful progress on a financial goal that's important to you.
