From Grief to Growth: How My Budgeting Journey Turned Into a Mission to Help Others

In 2021, my life changed forever when I lost my 14-year-old son in a tragic car accident. Grieving and searching for comfort, I found myself spending excessively on unnecessary things—endless Amazon packages arriving at my door became my way of trying to fill an un-fillable void. But over time, I realized that while the spending gave me temporary relief, it wasn’t helping me move forward.

I needed to take control, not just of my emotions, but also of my finances. That’s when I discovered cash budgeting and zero-based budgeting. By intentionally tracking every dollar, I began to find balance, not just in my bank account but in my life. The discipline and focus I developed helped me save money and regain a sense of purpose.

Through this journey, I started creating my own tools to make budgeting more effective and even enjoyable. Savings challenges, budget binders, and creative planners became part of my daily routine, helping me stay on track while making the process fun. Soon, I realized that these tools could help others too.

That’s how my Etsy shop was born to now wanting to have my own website—a place where I share thoughtfully designed budgeting items to inspire others to take control of their finances. From savings challenges that make reaching your goals exciting to budget binders that keep everything organized, each product is created with care, drawing from my own experience of finding hope and stability through budgeting.

My shop isn’t just about selling products—it’s about empowering people to regain control, achieve their financial goals, and find joy in the process. Whether you’re paying off debt, saving for a dream, or simply trying to manage your money better, I’ve been where you are—and I’m here to help you thrive.
