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.

Ep.42💡 Reset Your Finances Without Panic —Even in a Hard Season
Feeling crushed by rising costs and shrinking paychecks? In this episode, I walk you through the exact 3-step strategy I used during a financially tight season and how you can apply it to your own life starting today, while maintaining emotional stability.
3-Step Strategy
✨ Step 1: Pause and don’t panic.
Pausing can help us avoid rash decisions and allow the problem-solving part of the brain to engage. You can do the same — when you feel overwhelmed, stop, breathe, and look at the facts. This reminds you of what things are in your control and helps you decide the next steps.
✨ Step 2: Cut non-essentials
What are the items or services that you could cut out, for now, or try to find a more budget-friendly option to replace the one that is weighing down your budget?
✨ Step 3: Get creative with solutions.
Can't cut much? Negotiating or doing some research can help you get a better rate on items that support the life and well-being of your family. Find creative ways to stretch your resources — maybe it’s adjusting frequency, bundling services, or trading with friends. There’s often more flexibility than we first think.
🎧 By following these three steps — pause, cut, and negotiate, and being creative — you can face tight times with confidence, clarity, and action.
