I have been listening to this podcast for over a year. I think the hosts Vanessa and Shana are really kind and supportive of families and their circumstances but overtime I realized that this podcast is not for me, and possibly people in my circumstance. Their advise falls heavily on people who are making money but aren’t spending it in ways that will put them ahead. Unfortunately, I am a single parent, and yes, I have listened to stories on the podcast about single parents doing well but that is not my case. I do not have a job that pays me well, I also have other factors that limit my time. Unfortunately, this is not really for people who are lower class, yes some tips can still apply to you but overall they have a specific audience they are targeting. I say, give this show a try, I learned great tips but overall it isn’t the right fit.

Thanks for all of your info . I have learned so much from you ladies!!

This is a great podcast! There are rich conversations about personal finances and the systems that truly make life easier. The hosts are absolutely delightful—thoughtful, engaging, and keep the conversation flowing with ease. I highly recommend tuning in if you’re looking for smart, practical insights and inspiring stories about finances!

Found this show and was so excited but after a few episodes felt like it was such empty fluff! I want the DETAILS!! To say “high earner” means nothing! Kansas high earner or California high earner? “A lot of debt”. So subjective!! Wish there were some real hard numbers to back the chatter.

I had the pleasure of having a video chat with V & S and what a great talk. No nonsense, real guidance to help get me on my way out of the paycheck to paycheck cycle. I’m so happy I found these budget besties - I can’t wait to get started!

Financial Coaching for Women is the kind of podcast that makes you feel like you’re finally not alone when it comes to money. Shana & Vanessa bring clarity, compassion, and no-judgment guidance to topics that often feel overwhelming. They speak from both expertise and experience, making finances feel less intimidating and way more doable. Whether you’re climbing out of debt, trying to budget without losing your mind, or just wanting to steward your money God’s way, this podcast is the perfect mix of grace and grit.

This show is so good! I literally subscribed to follow in the middle of my first episode! I’m excited to binge this and get a good financial plan I can actually stick to!

This has been such an amazing podcast for me! I discovered it by accident on a morning walk last summer and it has changed my life. I mention it to everyone who might be interested, especially my sons, nieces and nephews who might enjoy Shana and Vanessa's straight forward and easy BUDGET SYSTEM that has truly brought joy into my life around money. The BUDGET SYSTEM is easy because they lead you through it, holding your hand, and have many ways that you can reach out for help.

I highly recommend this podcast, the budgeting system, and the financial coaching program! It truly changed not only our bank accounts but our lives! I am so grateful this podcast popped up as a recommended listen. Honestly, at first, I struggled to get on board because of the idea of opening lots of different bank accounts. How wrong I was! I made that free call and started coaching very quickly, and over the course of the past year, our finances have completely changed in the most amazing way! And when our business had a significant downturn at the end of the year, it was the money that we had set aside in our own savings that kept us from falling apart. Without this podcast and program we would have been in a terrible position. Thank you so much Vanessa and Shana! 💜

The Budget Besties give such great advice and tangible tips to come up with a plan for debt and having goals! Enjoy this podcast !

Money isn’t always a favorite topic to learn about but Vanessa and Shana do a great job of making it light and fun and giving tangible tips! Just added to this podcast to my morning walk rotation. Excited to listen to more!

These two are so fun to listen to! Money and finances are so important but can be confusing (or boring to learn about, haha) but this podcast is so easy to listen to and helpful!

This is my favorite show. I feel so motivated and encouraged after listening. THANKS for helping me get my life in order!

I tried to get into this podcast and they offer some good info but I just couldn’t get past their voices. I found myself double checking the speed I had selected (“surely it’s at 1.5x right?”) but no. It was at normal speed, they just talk so fast that it slurs their words together and are hard to understand.

Wow! Love this judgment free zone. I’m a big Dave Ramsey fan but I’m also a sensitive soul. Vanessa and Shana strike the perfect balance between no-nonsense and real life.

What a great podcast that makes budgeting simple. I loved listening and felt empowered! Can’t wait to listen to more and apply what they teach.

These ladies offer so much invaluable advice and wisdom along with the processes to apply that information. So impressed with Shana and Vanessa. Must listen!

Listening to Vanessa and Shana is the most fun I've ever had learning about budgeting and finances! They provide actionable, easy-to-understand advice for making budgeting simple. Keep up the great work!

The good I was really enjoying this podcast, hearing all the success stories on each episode was giving me lots of hope for my finances. The bad Then I went to see about a coaching call and was blown away at how much 2 one on one calls a month would cost me… over 4k. I truly feel like at that cost this podcast is sucking money, if you truly cared about seeing people succeed at getting their finances under control you wouldn’t want to over charge. I am leaving this review with a loving heart in hoping that you will be mindful to your cost and how many more people you could truly help if you wasn’t trying to over fill your own pockets. With that said I wish you all the luck in the world and I pray while God continues to send people to your business that he will lay it on your heart to lower your prices to much more affordable and fair price so you can continue to do God’s work inhelping people.

Thanks V and S! Every episode and every minute is worth the time spent listening! I’m motivated to keep my focus and I learn some nugget of truth I hadn’t thought of before. Plus you two are FUN! Thank you for all the time spent on this valuable money resource!

Inspiration meets action with the the amazing duo at Budget Besties. So many great resources, systems and support to take any person from confused to confident with their money!

I love love listen to Vanessa and Shana! They break it down to be so practical. This is an area I've ignored, but need to address. They take the overwhelm away. Thank you so much! Robbin Kent-Online Courses Made Easy podcast

I really love the information they discuss and they have helped me so much get control over my finances. Always loved Dave Ramsey but this is much more practical to implement and gives the steps to accomplish it without a class. They are so much fun to listen to and they seem to really compliment each other.

Vanessa and Shana bring such real, down-to-earth energy into the world. They focus on advice you can ACTUALLY PUT INTO PRACTICE.

I love this show… there’s nothing like it out in the world which is why I listen to this all the time. It’s a def listen for not just women, but men too!!

I just started listening to this podcast and have already found and implemented some helpful suggestions!

Oh goodness, this Jesus girl that loves to bury her head in the sand over finances is so happy to find Vanessa and Shana’s show. So appreciate that you make money management easier to understand for women like me. My hubby will thank you later. :) 💛 Kim Stewart

I felt heard and now hooked to listen, feel like we now each other well. Thank you

I love this podcast! It seems like everytime I listen I learn something new, and it is always relevant to my finances! They are top notch with top notch advice!

To say these ladies changed my life would be a huge understatement. I am so grateful they I stumbled upon this podcast exactly 1 year ago. Shaina and Vanessa’s no judgement, but somehow, no nonsense energy propelled me to take control of my finances once and for all. They make budgeting fun, easy, and totally doable! My family and I are in such a better place. Thank you, Budget Besties!

I finally feel like I can figure this out. Group coaching, facebook group, a practical podcast and signature budget. They have so many ways to help you get started and feel supported so you don’t give up!

If financial stress had a face, it’d be a photo of me before discovering this podcast. These financial coaches have a knack for turning money mayhem into manageable milestones. They’re like that wise friend who never judges your impulse buys but gently guides you back to financial sanity. Thanks to their sage advice and nonjudgmental approach, I’ve not only organized my finances but also paid off my car and tackled $16k in debt. Who knew budgeting could be this liberating? Tune in, take notes, and watch your wallet transform. Financial freedom is just a podcast away!

I am loving this podcast - I can use all the help I can get to make my money work for me and help me make better budgeting decisions and this show delivers the info, tough love and honesty I need to make impactful changes so I can have financial freedom. Shana and Vanessa are knowledgeable, warm and bring a sense of humor to the conversations. I feel like they are sitting in my kitchen helping me create more financial independence for my family.

This is some of the worst music in podcasting and it seems like it will never end.

Wanting a podcast that’s fun, full of helpful tips, and gives great advice?? Look no further I’m money illiterate… seriously! All things money and budgeting related scare me to death. These two make it enjoyable and help me want to learn more and feel less scared about $$$

These ladies are amazing! They break down everything about budget and why it is important to have multiple saving buckets! They explain why it is important to budget along with how!!!! They make it so easy to understand your income and what to do with it! Very helpful, first conversation I felt like I knew these ladies forever! I can’t wait to see my financial growth!!!

Shana & Vanessa’s practical, clear, and actionable advice is changing the way I think about money. After one month of listening to their podcast, I understand what I need to do differently. Now, I want everyone to listen to this podcast, starting with my daughter! This podcast is truly a wealth of budgeting in money management. Thank you, Shana and Vanessa you are amazing.

Thank you for all the information! I have tried for years to budget and failing. I feel like with your tips and advice my family can stick to the budget and teach our goals.

What a wonderful resource for women like me who are making a good living but seem to have nothing left over. I have always been a budgeter but the method Shana and Vanessa teach is so much better than what I used to do! This podcast is on top of my “binge listen” list! Keep up the great work, ladies!!

I started listening to this podcast in January of 2024. I needed guidance which I could understand, which was practical for my hectic single momma life, and effective. These AMAZING ladies offer financial advise and guidance which is all of this and more. There is no judgment and the heart of this show is to help and empower woman who want to manage their finances in a way which improves their life. I have already applied some of their strategies and am excited to change my financial jounrey for the better!

I absolutely love this podcast! Shana & Vanessa have some very practical advice that you can start using today. Also the free call is real! I didn’t feel rushed during our call and I was able to ask questions and get some answers.

I had a hard time listening to this podcast. Their content may be accurate however it’s difficult to say as their podcasting abilities (editing, vocal tone, scripting) are minimal. I found this to be a very unprofessional podcast and difficult to follow as each episode didn’t seem to have a pre-scripted plan of how each host would share their knowledge.

I wish they taught us these things in school. Love the podcast and advice!

I found these ladies podcast very informative, we’re looking at ways to get our finances more organized and budgeted this year and I really enjoyed their information and plan to listen to their show more frequently. The 30 min free call with them was a super helpful and positive experience.

Please slow down. I want to listen but you talk way too fast.

I love listening to the episodes whenever they release. I am learning so much from you guys. I have created virtual wallets with different accounts for a few different budget items which has really helped me. I also keep some of my budget items in cash. I am doing things little by little to try to get myself in a better financial situation. Thank you so much for all of the advice, and I look forward to listening to future podcasts! if I can afford it, I would love to work with you guys in the future!

Early this year I prayed for the Lord to help us with finances, specifically for guidance and clarity. This summer I found Shana and Vanessa’s podcast, a literal answer to that ongoing prayer. I finally found something that makes sense, that I can actually implement, and I’m more excited than ever about our financial future. Since listening to their podcast, we’ve paid off a vehicle and credit card. I’m digging into the Budget Power Hour template and planning to schedule coaching soon. So grateful and highly recommend the podcast and Budget Power Hour!

Super happy and excited to have found your advice! Thank you for being so transparent and helpful! I enjoy binge listening to your episodes and gathering so much knowledge!

My wife and I both went through a professional change this summer. One paycheck went and one went down. I was in a tailspin, stressed out, and mad that I gave up in budgeting years before. I knew I had to get my wife involved with our finances and finding the Financial coaches for women was a great bridge. I love the short but great insight and content they speak about. Definitely on a level my wife and I both can understand and then tailor it to our situations. There are other podcast out there, but these ladies have our attention and we are customers because of their podcast! Keep up the great work! Thank you for helping me keep what brown hair I have left on my head. Best regards!

I started from day 1 a few weeks ago, and caught up this week. I couldn’t stop listening! I caught myself getting out of bed at 4 am just to start listening again. They talk about every day life whether it be from finances to family and even a little bit of organizing. My biggest struggles at the beginning were automating my finances and including my entire family in on budget talk. Growing up it was frowned upon to talk to the family about budgets, so therefore I never learned a single thing! What I did learn was negative and I carried that with me through most of my adult life. Since listening to this podcast I have been able to confidently manage certain things I didn’t even know where to begin with. Things I would often give up on because they were too complicated for me to grasp. While I still may not be perfect at it, just listening to them helps hold me accountable and allows me to breath a little easier when it’s time to sit down and have the budget meeting with my husband. I really couldn’t be more thankful for Shana and Vanessa allowing us to hear their tips and tricks to make finance easier and less stressful. I share this show with every single person I talk to, and I probably talk about it more than I should 🙃
