Money Groover Testimonials
(aka - a glimpse into your new life! 🤩)
Marena (New York, NY)
“I've been able to drop serious cash on concert tickets (K-pop shows are no joke, one very special VIP ticket cost me $1,200 but I didn't hesitate and had the best day ever because I had the money ready to go!).
It's been years and I still use the Money Dashboard and Spending Plan Berkeley set me up with every month, and I've gotten to do so many cool things while still being responsible and planning ahead with my money!”"
Marilyn & Bob (Wilmington, DE)
“The program isn't just about learning how to "budget." It was about discovering the psychology behind our spending behaviors and learning how to retrain our brains. Berkeley really knows how to make you feel comfortable with what you have - showing you that you can still have fun and work towards your goals.”
Emily (Nashville, TN)
“It was scary to think about taking a hard look at our finances, but once I actually committed to it, it actually made me LESS stressed because I finally KNEW what was going on with our money. I realized that avoiding this was just prolonging our financial stress. Turns out, I can be good with money, simply by paying attention to our money!”
Avery (Bristol, PA)
“Berkeley's method was a complete switch (full 180°) to how I had thought about budgeting and spending. It was more about embracing my spending habits and adjusting them, versus overhauling everything. I was so worried about changing the lifestyle I love and it didn't result in that at all.“
Rachel (Denver, CO)
“At first, I definitely didn't think I could afford a high-priced coaching program - but once Berkeley and I discussed my full financial picture, we worked together to build it into my plan. Now, I'm way less stressed about finances which has helped me enjoy living my life a lot more. I don't get anxious when I need to Venmo friends or pay bills anymore because I know exactly how much money I have.”
Jen (Asheville, NC)
“I was trapped in this exhausting cycle of living paycheck to paycheck, using the Earnin app to take money before each pay cycle, and falling into extreme impulsive spending. Working with Berkeley changed everything. Now, I can actually check my bank accounts without being scared or threatened by what I see. I’m even okay with being in debt because I know I’ll be out of it one day. My life path feels smoother, and I’ve learned it’s never too late to take on your financial health.”
Taylor & Daniel (Metairie, LA)
“Before we started with Money Grooves, Taylor and I often felt frustrated and overwhelmed when it came to our finances. We knew we were making good money, but we couldn’t figure out where it was all going. One of the biggest takeaways from the program was gaining complete clarity and control over our finances. Two years later, we’re still using the system. Money Grooves was truly money well spent—it’s helped us build a better life.”
Cassidy (Skillman, NJ)
“When I first signed up, I was both hopeful and hesitant - worried this would just be another expense I was incurring. But what surprised me most was how therapeutic the program turned out to be. It helped bridge difficult interactions and conversations with my partner, and my sessions with Berkeley allowed me to get to a place where I felt comfortable being more vulnerable.”
Chloe & Finnan (Charleston, SC)
“We wanted to have healthier conversations about our finances, but felt lost and frustrated trying to discuss it, constantly talking in circles about a plan. It was exhausting! Berkeley made us feel so comfortable. We never felt judged or like we were asking “dumb” questions. We learned how to be more open about money with each other, and how to actually create a system that worked for us.”
Mallory (Chicago, IL)
“I can't express enough how grateful I am for Berkeley’s Money Grooves program. I found myself drowning in debt, overwhelmed, and frustrated. Now, I finally feel like I have money - which I have never felt before. I have a plan and on a path to financial stability, and I couldn't be happier about how much this has changed my life.”
Caroline & Edward (Lake Charles, LA)
“Learning from your spouse, especially when neither of you really know what to do next, can be challenging to say the least! We were so thankful to have Berkeley teach us exactly what steps to take and be there for us as we had questions along the way.”
Sara Cate (Denver, CO)
“Berkeley and her approach have truly changed my financial life! She truly is a wizard of financial health and I would send anyone who is feeling disempowered and hopeless to this wonder of a human.”
Abby (Denver, CO)
“It’s so empowering to feel in control of your financial well being and to spend time learning about finances. I no longer feel panicked and hopeless, and finally feel like I’m on the path to becoming great with money.”
Mia (Denver, CO)
“I've never really had a savings of more than $1000. Now, I’m paying off my credit cards AND growing my savings and watching it all accumulate. I’m so proud of myself for not avoiding it anymore.”
Lauren (Portland, ME)
“There’s no way I would have been successful with a “traditional” Money Coach that didn’t get me. I would have been bored and felt judged by how I wanted to spend my money. Not only did she encourage me to hit all the Phish & Billy shows on my calendar, she helped me plan for them so they didn’t end up on my credit card and cause me stress later.”
Allison (Denver, CO)
“Money already feels judgy and you feel like an idiot when you don't know things, but Berkeley taught me that money stuff doesn't have to be scary, rigid, judgmental, intimidating, or exclusive.”
Cara (Charleston, SC)
“I love that Berkeley understood my passion for live music. Seeing shows and going on 3-night runs is just a part of my life and wasn’t going anywhere. It really helped knowing that she wasn’t going to make me feel bad about going out of town for 3 nights and spending a bunch of money to see a band.”
Lara (Denver, CO)
“My favorite part of the program was talking about the root causes of my feelings around money and why I spend the way I spend. I definitely wouldn’t have been this successful had we just been talking about the logistics of budgets/retirement/etc.”
Brian (Seattle, WA)
“After working with Berkeley, I understand my money so much better, and it's not this intangible thing to me anymore. I practice mindful spending techniques, like pausing before I buy something, instead of impulsively going for it, and actually have the tools to live within my means without giving up my life.”
Allie (New Orleans, LA)
"The Money Grooves program is LIFE CHANGING. Berkeley made me feel comfortable talking about money, helped me align my spending with what I value, and worked with me to create a plan that has melted away my stress (and my debt!).”
