Why this exists
I'm not a financial advisor. I'm someone who spent years earning enough money and still feeling like I was drowning in it.
I knew roughly what came in. I was much less sure what went out. I downloaded the apps. I started the spreadsheets. I promised myself that January would be different, and then avoided the whole thing for another month — because looking felt worse than not looking.
What finally changed things wasn't discipline. It was understanding that avoiding your finances isn't laziness or irresponsibility. It's what shame does. And no budgeting app in the world fixes shame.
So I built the thing I needed: a system that starts with why you've been avoiding this, then walks you through your real numbers at a pace a real life can hold. No perfect months. No punishment for being human. No advice to stop buying coffee.
Behind, Not Broken is that system — a 69-page workbook and a 30-day plan, built on one idea: you're not behind because you're broken. You're behind because money is emotional, life is expensive, and nobody taught most of us how to do this.
If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
