Did the past year leave your finances feeling off track; unexpected expenses, plans falling apart, or goals you just couldn’t reach? If so, I want you to hear this first: You’re not alone, and you’re not stuck.

On this episode, I’m walking you through a 6‑step financial comeback plan to help you reset your finances after a rough year, without shame, guilt, or unrealistic pressure.

This is about regrouping, rebuilding, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

You’ll learn how to:

• Forgive yourself and reframe your money story
• Audit your finances and face the numbers with confidence
• Create a realistic “comeback budget” for your current season
• Rebuild a mini emergency fund, even if you’re starting small
• Set clear, achievable financial goals for the next 3, 6, and 12 months
• Reset your finances with support, not shame

This reset isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. Small steps taken consistently can completely change where you are a year from now.
