Woo hoo! I finally reached 100 members 🎉
Woo hoo! I finally reached 100 members 🎉 Big thanks to @Lidia Axe and her 30-Day Skool Hackathon. One thing Lidia really helped me with was getting out of my own head. I tend to overthink a lot when it comes to my community, but she always gave me clear, actionable steps to focus on instead of trying to figure everything out at once. Looking back, I honestly think it was her guidance, feedback and the little tweaks along the way that helped me reach 100+ members today. Thanks again, Lidia 🙏

Lidia really goes above and beyond!
Lidia really goes above and beyond! She constantly has new ideas for engagement in this group, and to put into yours, and is really generous with her time and expertise for a free group! I'm in her paid group too, and would recommend them both to someone starting out and scaling on skool!

Lisa makes budgeting and building wealth an adventure rather than a mundane...
Lisa makes budgeting and building wealth an adventure rather than a mundane anxiety inducing stress. Creating a place for every dollar before it hits the account is becoming a fun exercise. And to have a fun money account while building an emergency fund and paying down debt is such a fun concept! So grateful for the iDatemoney wealth accelerator program! Don't wait for a better time! Start now - no matter if you're broke, if you're financially stable, etc. It's worth the investment!

A Space That Changed How I See Money
I have been in a lot of spaces that talk about money, but this community feels different because it does not just give advice, it changes the way I relate to money. This space helped me look at my numbers with more courage and that alone has been a huge shift for me. I have also seen how valuable it is to be in a room where women are not hiding from their finances, but learning how to face them and take ownership of them.

This is NOT just financial strategy… and that’s exactly why it works.
This is NOT just financial strategy… and honestly, that’s exactly why it works. Lisa doesn’t just help you “manage money.” She helps you face it. For me, the biggest shift has been me no longer avoiding my debt. And that alone changed everything. I realized how much my lack of attention was actually fueling the problem. I wasn’t paying attention to what I was buying, how much it was, or even the money coming in in my favor. I was just… floating through it. Lisa doesn’t let you do that. Her approach goes deeper than numbers. The way she uses scent to anchor into the nervous system is something I’ve never experienced before. It creates this sense of calm and groundedness that makes it feel safe to actually look at your finances without having an anxiety attack or shutting down. And from there, things start to click. She helps you put into place systems that help you to clearly see what’s coming in, what’s going out with intention, and what’s been sneaking out the back door without you even realizing it. But the part I love most is that she brings the kind of tough love that doesn’t let you show up with the same excuses that have kept you stuck. Not in a harsh way… in a you’re-ready-for-more-than-this kind of way. If you’re looking for another budgeting system, this isn’t it... but if you’re ready to actually change your relationship with money and stop hiding from it… Lisa and The Smell of Money is where you start.
