Deconstructing Money Bites - 1.10.25
Hi everyone —
I just wrapped up my first week of Good Bones client sessions and they’ve been really lovely. I’ve been enjoying applying what I’ve learned in my AFC studies, and what I’ve been learning in continuing education webinars, to real, incredible people. It’s also been personally gratifying to take in people’s intimate stories without the end game of broadcasting them!
I’ve filled up my January books, but there are more slots open in February and March. I’m still offering discounts on packages for the first cohort of clients as I build up experience hours, so if getting your finances in order in 2025 is on your list of resolutions, now’s a chance to get a great deal and get your financial house in order.
You can sign up for a free intro session with me here, or DM me with any questions:
This week I planned on writing a final post on PERMA, but tackling the last two elements, “meaning” and “achievement”, have proved more challenging than I thought. I have too many ideas and I need more time to distill them.
But in the name of consistency, I’m going introduce a “wilt”-like format to Deconstructing Money and drop five money-adjacent links that caught my eye this week.

Instead of consuming too many images of the L.A. fires, which just look so apocalyptic, I’ve been trying to take action. GoFundMe has a general fund for supporting people who’ve lost their homes. I also know a few people in my extended network who could use help. If you’re a local, Mutual Aid LA has a list of resources and volunteer opportunities.
