The holidays were never meant to leave you exhausted, stressed out, and broke.
Next Tuesday, Pittsburgh Professional Women welcomes a special guest for an open and honest conversation about holiday spending.
Colleen Patel, creator of the Master Your Money program, will share simple ways to enjoy the holidays without financial pressure and help you move into the new year with a clear and confident money mindset.
Who Should Attend:
If you’re feeling financially stretched or emotionally drained by the pressures of the season, this workshop is for you.
Maybe you’re:
Feeling anxious about credit card balances or year-end expenses
Trying to make the holidays special for everyone while quietly worrying about the cost
Stuck in comparison syndrome and buying presents based on what people will think of YOU instead of the gift
Promising yourself that next year you’ll “finally get organized” with money
Tired of feeling guilty when you spend money on things for yourself
You’re not alone. This session is a chance to reset your money mindset before the new year begins.

✔︎ Release financial guilt and pressure by learning how to focus on what truly matters this season
✔︎ Reflect on your spending with intention so your money decisions align with your values and priorities
✔︎ Gain practical tools to calm money anxiety and avoid the post-holiday “spending hangover”
