A 4-Day Live Challenge for accomplished people who are ready to stop allowing one financial mistake to shape every financial decision that comes next.
“The financial cost of a mistake is one thing. What you carry forward from it is another.”
And unaddressed emotions can have financial costs.
See pricing & choose your experienceWhen you're accustomed to being the person who knows what to do, making a financial mistake can become more than a money problem.
It can become personal.
And because you’re still functioning, still working, and still taking care of everyone else, no one may realize how much you're carrying.
But shame has a way of following us into the financial decisions that come next.
We avoid. We second-guess ourselves. We overcorrect. We become afraid to take another risk.
Or we keep trying to fix the numbers without addressing what the experience did to our relationship with money.
This challenge is about what happens next.
Choose the level of support that fits you.
Four days to look honestly at what happened, understand what may be underneath it, and begin moving forward differently.
Before you can move forward, you have to be willing to look honestly at what happened.
Not through the lens of “How could I have been so stupid?” but through curiosity.
What happened? What was happening in your life? What influenced the decision? What did you know then? And what do you know now?
Money decisions don't happen separately from the rest of our lives.
Fear. Trust. Urgency. Stress. Identity. Family expectations. The need to feel safe. The pressure to take care of everyone.
We’ll begin looking beneath the decision itself so you can better understand the person who made it.
Sometimes the money is no longer the biggest problem. The story you’ve attached to what happened is.
“I failed.” “I should have known better.” “Someone like me shouldn’t make mistakes like this.”
We’ll explore the difference between taking responsibility for a financial decision and turning that decision into an indictment of who you are.
You cannot undo a financial decision that's already been made.
But you can decide whether it gets to define the decisions you make from here.
We’ll bring what you’ve uncovered together and focus on moving forward with greater awareness, self-trust, and intention.
And that's exactly why it can be difficult to talk about.
You have the career. The credentials. The salary. People may even come to you when they need help.
From the outside, you look successful.
But a high income doesn't automatically mean you feel financially secure.
You can earn more than you ever imagined and still wonder where the money went.
You can have the knowledge and still avoid opening an account.
You can be accomplished and still carry shame about money.
Both things can be true.

Triple Board-Certified Psychiatrist & Financial Wellness Strategist
Dr. Billina doesn't approach financial behavior like it exists separately from the person making the decisions.
As a psychiatrist, she has spent her career thinking about behavior: why we do what we do, what happens underneath our choices, and how our experiences, emotions, beliefs, identity, and environment influence behavior.
And money is behavior too.
Dr. Billina also knows what it is like to look at a financial situation and think: “How did I not see this?”
Her own experience with a significant financial loss forced her to confront not only what happened to the money, but what came afterward.
The self-questioning. The emotions. The need to understand what happened. And ultimately, the question: “How do I move forward from here?”
That experience became the foundation for a framework around overcoming financial mistakes.
VIEW CHALLENGE OPTIONSBut you can change the decisions you make from here.
The goal isn't to become someone who never makes another financial mistake.
The goal is to become someone who can face one, learn from it, recover from it, and keep moving.
“Your mistake can be part of your financial story without becoming the end of it.”
