Money Goals

Ugh, money. We all have to use it, manage it, spend it, earn it. But even though dealing with money is one of the most common things in the world, it can still feel so emotional, right? Why does my savings account or lack of it feel like a direct line into my anxieties and fears about who I am? If you felt that way, you're not alone. Hi, I'm Courtney Cleveland, a writer and digital storyteller with Shine. I'm here to guide you through seven days of better money moves. The goal of this challenge is that at the end of seven days together, you'll feel like a total boss and have all the tools you need to manage your money in the long-term. For this challenge, we talk to Kathlyn Hart, a phenomenal human being, a financial empowerment coach, and creator of the online salary bootcamp Be Brave Get Paid. The best part, I'm gonna do this challenge with you. So each day, I'll be checking in and giving you quick recaps on all those nuggets of wisdom and some background on what we're about to dive into.

That's why I began teaching and coaching others about how they can get in control of their money, and that's what I wanna help do for you today. Thanks so much for joining me.
