#1: Why I Took a Two-Year Break from Budget Divas


Listen Later

Two years ago, I was running a thriving business—coaching women, hosting challenges, and helping people pay off debt while still living their best life. But in November 2023, everything changed. My husband passed away unexpectedly, and I couldn’t breathe, let alone talk about budgeting or business. So I stepped away. I grieved. I healed. I started over—on a single income, with a broken heart, and a new perspective.

In this episode, I’m sharing the full story. From being buried in $90,000 of debt and praying on the bathroom floor… to discovering mystery shopping and becoming debt-free… to losing everything I thought I was building and finding the strength to rebuild.

This isn’t just about money. It’s about survival, grief, healing, and taking back your power—even when life doesn’t go as planned.

🎧 What You’ll Take Away from This Episode:

  • How I went from $90K in debt to debt-free
  • What mystery shopping did for my budget—and my confidence
  • Why I stopped budgeting after my husband passed—and how I started again
  • What it’s really like to live on a single income after loss
  • How you can rebuild your finances without giving up joy, coffee, or self-care
  • That you are not alone, you are not behind, and you are more than capable

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How am I supposed to do this alone?”—this episode is for you. Even now, even here—you can still live like a diva.
