I was speaking to one of our students, and I could hear the embarrassment in her voice. She felt like she’d failed. She looked like she was about to cry. My heart sank.
If only she knew how common this was. So many people beat themselves up for not being able to stick to a budget. They try again and again hoping maybe this time...it will ‘work’.
When it doesn’t, eventually, they start to internalise all the failure and think: “There must be something wrong with me. I suck with finance. I’m not a numbers person.”
I’ve seen this so many times over the years.

So, over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to support many people on their financial journey.
