Money is Not Your Problem
If you say things like, "I am bad with money," "I am bad at math," or "I am broke"(all the time), then THIS podcast is for YOU.
Based on the three important pillars - faith, mindset management, and applied math knowledge - we discuss simple, practical ways to become good with money and confidently lead your family.
With over 20 years of teaching personal finance to people of all ages and stages of financial life, I can help you understand how money works and what thoughts and beliefs are holding you back. Learn how your faith in Christ and his infinite love for you can help you find solutions, resources, and the right people to change and uplevel your financial life. Imagine how peaceful and joyful you will feel knowing you CAN take care of your family, prosper, be generous, and indeed be a blessing to those around you and the world.
Join me, Madeleine Strasburg, biweekly to develop the attributes, skills, and mindset you need to become good with money in your pocket and in your mind and lead your family confidently.
As a Master of Education, a certified coach by Ramsey Solutions and The Life Coach School, and a former Math teacher (over 20 years in the classroom!), I can help you achieve the financial freedom and peace that you seek.
