Money doesn’t have to be complicated. In this candid conversation, we’ll break down the fundamentals of making, spending, and thinking about money in a way that’s clear, actionable, and (dare we say) empowering.

This session is for freelancers and small business owners who want to develop a healthier relationship with their finances—whether that means improving cash flow, setting smarter budgets, or simply feeling more in control.

We’ll spend about 10 minutes on each of these key areas:

How to Get Paid – Setting up contracts, invoicing with confidence, and chasing down late payments without the stress.

How to Spend Wisely – Budgeting for growth, tracking ROI, and making sure every dollar spent serves your business.

How to Think About Money – Understanding your cash flow, planning for financial stability, and building long-term security.

The goal? To get you checking your bank account with confidence, setting financial goals, and having more conversations about making (and keeping) money.
