Most financial wellness programs use robots to teach people about budgeting, credit scores, and retirement accounts.

Information matters. But if information alone changed behavior, most of us would be doing what we "should" do.

More than knowledge shapes money decisions. Emotions, family stories, relationships, and the systems around us shape them.

And those factors can make money feel really stressful. 

In our pilot survey, 75% of participants felt overwhelmed by financial decisions and 67% experienced financial anxiety.

The MMB Method™ is a digital program that pairs micro-lessons from a financial therapist with a private community.

What you get

  • 4 weeks of micro-lessons on the emotional side of money

  • Guided reflections that help you uncover the stories and patterns running your financial decisions 

  • Simple behavior prompts: Small tips to try in real life, so you can build your self-confidence

  • A private, virtual (and anonymous optional) community

By the end, you’ll feel calmer and more confident making money decisions.

FAQs

Got questions about the MMB Method? I’ve got your answers.

    • Plan on 30–60 minutes a week.

    • The Monday micro-lessons themselves are two minutes or less. Use the rest of that time to reflect, try out what you’re learning, and connect with the community.

    • Nope! Everything happens asynchronously inside a private Slack community. A new lesson drops Monday morning, and you check in when it works for you.

  • As a Person With A Life™, it’s perfectly okay to fall behind. That’s why four weeks of lessons come with six weeks of access.

    • Absolutely not. There’s no financial knowledge prerequisite because we aren’t focusing on tactical financial how-tos; we’re focusing on the emotions and feelings that get in the way of taking action.

    • This is where I’ll tell you this might not be for you.

    • Slack is free and easy to use from your phone or computer, but if Slack is completely foreign to you, I don’t want you spending time figuring it out instead of getting value from the microlessons and the community.

    • No. While I’m a financial therapist and the MMB Method ™  is informed by my expertise, participating does not create a therapist-client relationship.

    • It’s also not individualized financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. It’s a community-supported financial wellness experience designed to help you better understand the emotional side of your money.

What people say

  • "I have a lot less shame when I think about a purchase more deeply, asking myself things like "do I need this? Why do I want this? Will this actually bring me joy or serve a true purpose?"

  • "If you want to understand your relationship with money and the stories around that relationship this program is for you! It helped me navigate my relationship with money on a deeper level than just putting numbers on paper. It transformed how I see myself and my finances."

  • "I truly feel that money is now my friend and has wanted to be for a very long time."

  • "The MMB Method provides the support that's necessary to process financial anxiety and even financial trauma."

Built on real clinical practice

Lindsay teaches a group of entrepreneurs about their money story

After reading her sixth personal finance book, Lindsay realized something: she knew more about money than ever, and she was still anxious about it.

As a social worker, she saw the same disconnect with her clients. Money wasn’t just about knowing the “right” things to do. It was emotional.

That realization led Lindsay to become one of Michigan’s first financial therapists. And when her private practice waitlist neared 300 people, she knew she needed a way to help more people beyond one-on-one therapy.

That idea became the Mind Money Balance Method™, built around what Lindsay has seen work with real people, including over 650 participants in the program's in-person pilot.
