I enjoy the incredible value but also how fun it is.
I enjoy the incredible value but also how fun it is. It’s one thing to budget and get back on track alone, but to do it in community is another. I can identify with others as well as share what’s working for me.

Thoughtful, informative and supporting community
I’ve really appreciated the quality of the resources inside The Empowered Money Circle. There is clearly a lot of knowledge, care, and intention behind the material, and I feel supported in learning more about my relationship with money. Lindsey is a warm, natural and wonderful person who genuinely wants the best for all of us. The community offers helpful guidance and a gentle approach to topics like budgeting and spending, which I find very valuable. I think it’s a thoughtful and supportive space for anyone wanting to build a more conscious and balanced relationship with money.

I give The Escaper’s Lab 5 stars.
I give The Escaper’s Lab 5 stars. What first made me join was Kesha herself. Her personality, her heart, and the way she genuinely cares for her people stood out right away. Her community feels like home. It is that safe space where I can show up as myself, without feeling judged or like I have to have everything figured out. Kesha is not only an educator, she is a motivator and an inspiration. She has created a space for women over 40 to unlearn old patterns, stop living on autopilot, and begin making small, meaningful changes one step at a time. Thank you, Kesha, for being who you are and for creating a community that feels so needed.

Love this community!
I joined The Escaper's Lab based on someone's recommendation of the community. I wasn't sure what to expect at first. What I discovered was a fun group with great engagement and simple, effective tools. I love Kesha's energy, humor (makes me smile and laugh every day I'm in there) and practical insights. One thing I focused on improving in the group was workout frequency. I've increased that and I've shifted out of hating, resisting and dreading my workouts and into working out because I want to. I'm also enjoying the tools to get out of overthinking. What I've experienced with those so far is deeper awareness and quick action from easy-to-use tools and fun resources.
