Hello Reader,, We all experience failure at some point in our lives. It can be a painful and humbling experience, but it's also an opportunity to learn and grow. As someone who has worked in the financial industry for over a decade, I've seen my fair share of setbacks and disappointments. But I've also learned that failure is not the end of the road - it's just a detour. Right before my divorce, I was in a sweet place with my finances. I managed to save $6,000 in one year. I planned to purchase my dream vehicle which was a Lexus, but life said He** No, not today, tomorrow or next year.
​ I had to prioritize my life expectations, peace and future goals and decide which was more important the tangible or intangible. Either, I stay in an unhealthy situation or I go through the temporary pain knowing that it would lead me to something beautiful.
In fact, I had built a strong habit of being disciplined and saving when I set goals, so I knew I would build again. But my emotional state had my vision cloudy.
If you're feeling discouraged after a setback, remember that failure is not a reflection of your worth or abilities. Instead, it's an opportunity to reflect on what went wrong and how you can improve in the future. One of the most important things you can do after a failure is to take some time to regroup and gather yourself. This might mean taking a break from your usual routine, reaching out to friends or family for support, or seeking the guidance of a mentor or coach. As smart business women, it's important to have a plan and it's important to stack your coins. I'm hosting a 3-day Budget Like A Boss challenge to help you set financial goals and keep them no matter how much money you make. In my experience, one of the most effective ways to recover from failure is to focus on your strengths and identify areas where you can improve. For me, this meant honing my skills as a budgeting expert and sharing my knowledge with others. Over the years, I've taught hundreds of women how to budget effectively and take control of their finances. And now, I'm excited to announce my upcoming 3-day budget challenge, where I'll be sharing even more tips and strategies for living within your means. If you're ready to bounce back from failure and take control of your finances, I invite you to join me for this exciting challenge. Together, we'll explore ways to save money, reduce debt, and build a brighter financial future. Don't let failure hold you back - take the first step towards success today! Love, Jess ​ ​ |

Jessica Shunta The Money Therapist Hi Reader, Today we celebrate Columbus Day—a reminder of what happens when someone dares to set sail in a new direction, even when the path isn’t fully mapped out.

Jessica Shunta The Money Therapist It's been a while since I told my story so let me reintroduce myself (the short version)... Reader— My name is Jessica, and I’ve been obsessed with finance since I was a little girl walking into the bank with my parents.

I’ve worked my way up in banking for over 15 years — from teller to Vice President, leading a...
