In this episode, Brooke talks with her 1:1 client Shelly Morse, a web & graphic designer based out of Baltimore.

During her 6 months inside of 1:1 coaching, Shelly went from "I can't afford shit" to buying herself an Audi.

Tune in to hear how Shelly:

✨ Made paying herself a non-negotiable

✨ Bought her dream bag

✨ Drastically lowered her money anxiety

✨ Raised her freelance rates with confidence

✨ Created ease in her business finances

"I can't tell you how much this has changed my life over the past six months. My anxiety is so under control, I actually started to paint again. I feel completely different on so many levels and my confidence in my ability to handle all of this. I am so proud of how I handle my money now. I have a feeling of excitement, not fear, which I never thought would be possible." - Shelly

Shelly Morse builds beautiful & functional websites and marketing strategies that clients are excited to have representing them. She attended the University of Miami in Florida (Go Canes!) and has lived the rest of her life all over the US. When she's not caring for a client, you can find her doing yoga, walking her pups with her partner James, or traveling the world in search of the best gourmet hot dog.
