Financial Wellness Class for Women Starts January 10!

Submitted By: liz@mindfulmoneycoaches.com – Click to email about this post
Hi, neighbors!

I teach a financial wellness course I created on money mindset called the Mindful Money Method to women all over the country from my home in Nehalem.

It’s a calling of mine to support women in reducing financial overwhelm and increasing overall confidence while setting them up for a future they’ll love.

Many are feeling stretched due to rising costs or have turned to overspending for comfort or distraction these past few years. I’m focused on helping women with a loving, kind and effective approach; it’s like yoga for your money.

I’ve tested it on myself (curbed impulsive spending, achieved financial independence before 50 & left my 9-5) and now have five groups of successful graduates (in addition to all of my 1:1 clients) who’ve changed their financial trajectory and will eventually change their legacy.

Yet, more importantly, they have built a healthy relationship with money and themselves. And the mindset work translates to other areas of their lives like health and relationships.

The small group class meets LIVE with me for nine Wednesdays at 1 PM PT on Zoom in addition to following the online course curriculum. The result is calm confidence in any financial decision thru awareness, clarity and vision for your financial future. I believe your best financial plan is the one you create and I will show you how.

This course is best suited for women that feel like they weren’t taught about money. We identify values & desires, create financial safety nets & debt payoff plans, determine our financial independence number, and so much more.

The course costs $457; however, local women in Tillamook County can use coupon code LOCALS40 for a 40% discount.

Link to learn more & enroll: www.mindfulmoneymethod.com/yes

Each year there are a few course scholarships available or I created the free financial wellness content for the Tillamook County Wellness Program.

Warmly,
Liz Carroll
Financial Life & Wellness Coach

Submitted By: Christy@cosmichealingnw.com – Click to email about this post
Hello community

We have a counselor here again this morning until 1 PM- please come in if you need support

Now, I want to talk a little bit about anger. Anger is a normal, very valid emotion, that comes with grief and loss….. especially with unexpected and unexplainable loss.

Anger needs to be felt, to be expressed, to be witnessed, to be released…..

There will be a Sacred Scream Session on Sunday morning at 9 AM, on the beach. We will meet on the end of Laneda, in Manzanita

Please join us, to scream, to cry, to wail- to release some of our anger…..within a safe, supportive and loving container.

Sacred scream session starts at 9AM Sunday, the 24th, at the end of Laneda – the studio will be open immediately after, for tea and community

And Rising Hearts Studio will be open and available as a safe space for our community indefinitely- if I’m in the building, door is always open to you

You do not have fo grieve alone!!

All my Love- CK

“The edge of the solstice,

the barren darkness,

the wheel.

Nature knows that every cycle

must return to stillness and silence.

That every inhale has an exhale.

That every ending births a beginning.

That the light always returns

to a future beyond imagination.”
