SUMMARY:How to Escape the “Money Fog” and Create a Life You Love (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Do you feel caught in a never-ending circle between debt\, expenses\, and the pressure to work more and more—to pay your debt and your expenses? And do you fear not saving enough money? Are you tired of this vicious circle? In this masterclass\, Mikelann talks frankly about the impact this “money-life drain” has on us—all the way to our physical and spiritual health. And yes\, she talks about the way out. As you will see\, it is the “money fog” that blocks our way and impacts our ability to create a healthy relationship to money. Money fog is often experienced as bouts of stress and anxiety caused by financial vagueness. But when you exit the money fog\, money becomes a powerful resource that can give you what you truly desire in life. Join master money coach Mikelann Valterra to dispel the fog\, leave financial anxiety behind\, and rise to higher levels of prosperity and deep purpose. We will cover: \n\nThe three kinds of savings everyone needs for a healthy money relationship\nA new perspective on credit\nHow to use short term savings effectively to unplug from the debt cycle\nThe three key questions that have the power to vanquish the money fog forever\nThe connection between money and life purpose\n\nOur speaker is Mikelann R. Valterra\, MA\, AFC® www.mikelannvalterra.com \nHosted by the Women’s Business Center of Northern Virginia\, this webinar is in partnership with: \n\nMaryland Women’s Business Center | https://marylandwbc.org\n\nRegister at https://wbcnova.centerdynamics.com/workshop.aspx?ekey=10460013 \nZoom details will be provided upon registration.
