A Note on Gratitude

This month, gratitude has been hitting a little deeper for me.

As a new mom, I had no idea what returning to work would look like. Then having my second baby forced me to pause, get honest about my skills, and really ask myself what I enjoyed doing — and what I didn’t.

There were so many tears shed in my kitchen (more than I’ll ever admit), but those hard moments pushed me to create Prosperity Planning. That breakdown became the breakthrough.

I’m thankful for the nudge that pushed me forward.

​
Thankful for the community of mompreneurs who have supported me.
And deeply grateful for every client who’s trusted me to help build their Money Plan.

Everyone’s journey to entrepreneurship looks different and I’m thankful that you’re part of mine❤️

📸 Behind the Scenes

• I shared a reel about teaching our kids gratitude during the holidays, which led to something beautiful. We are officially sponsoring a local family who lost their husband and father earlier this year. If you want to support or learn more, here’s the link to their Amazon wish list.​
• I completed my first Financial Empowerment session with WISE Place, supporting women rebuilding their financial independence.
• I met with two Business Coaches to refine my offers and map out my growth plan for 2026 — clearer systems, stronger programs, deeper impact.

​

Life Lately Looks Like...

• We took a fall trip to Lake Arrowhead to tour homes and soak up the season. We made an offer (woo!), but it wasn’t accepted. We’re learning to be patient and trust the right deal will come.
• Preparing to slow down for the holidays more family time, more rest, and more intentional spending.

Budget Tip of the Month

Holiday Budgeting Without the Guilt

Holiday stress usually starts with unclear spending let’s fix that now.

Try this:

• Create a small holiday sinking fund
• List your Top 5 holiday priorities
• Use a cash envelope for holiday gifts to avoid overspending

​

If You Have Irregular Income

Here’s your simple system:

• Build your budget using your lowest consistent income
• Save 10–20% of every paycheck into an Income Buffer
• Use the remaining amount to fund goals + holidays

Consistency starts with structure, not perfect income.

November Reflection

Ask yourself:

• What surprised me in my budget this fall?
• What spending drained me?
• What spending supported me?
• How do I want December to feel?

Let your budget support your vision, not restrict it.
