Why Financial Stress Feels Different
Money stress doesn't just affect your bank account. It shows up at 2am when you can't sleep. It's there during family dinners. It follows you to work. Most financial education treats money like a math problem, but we know it's connected to everything else in your life.
- Start with understanding your current patterns without judgment or shame
- Learn practical techniques that work even when emotions run high
- Build systems that protect you during uncertain times
- Connect with others navigating similar challenges in safe group settings
What You'll Actually Learn
Emergency Response Planning
When unexpected expenses hit, panic makes everything worse. Build your own decision framework for handling financial surprises without derailing your entire budget.
Relationship Money Talks
Money arguments damage relationships. Learn specific conversation techniques that reduce defensiveness and help couples work together instead of against each other.
Anxiety Management Tools
Financial stress triggers real physical responses. We teach practical methods for managing anxiety that don't require you to fix everything at once.
Realistic Budget Building
Forget perfect spreadsheets you'll abandon in three weeks. Create a flexible system that accommodates real life while keeping you moving forward.
Debt Strategy Sessions
Debt feels overwhelming because you're facing it alone. Work through actual numbers with guidance that considers both math and emotional impact.
Future Planning Without Fear
You can't plan for the future when you're drowning in present worries. Learn how to address today's needs while gradually building towards stability.
The turning point wasn't some magic budget formula. It was finally understanding why I kept making the same money mistakes even though I knew better. That insight changed everything. Now when stress hits, I have tools that actually help instead of just feeling guilty about not having my life together.

Kirsa Nylund
Financial Wellbeing Specialist
I started this work after watching my own family struggle with money stress that had nothing to do with not knowing what to do and everything to do with why we couldn't do it. Since 2015, I've worked with over 800 individuals and couples in Canberra, focusing on the psychological side of financial decisions. My background combines financial counselling certification with training in stress management and relationship communication.
