Financial & Life Coaching for Women
You're not bad with money.
You're stuck in a cycle.
And the cycle has nothing to do with how much you make.
Strasburg Coaching helps working women stop avoiding their numbers,
recover from mistakes without shame, and build real financial momentum —
without needing a perfect system or more time.
The Real Problem
Most financial programs skip the part that actually matters.
They teach you the math. They skip the moment that actually matters — what happens in your mind and body before you ever open the spreadsheet. And what to do after the mistake already happened.
The numbers feel overwhelming
Budgets, spreadsheets, and tracking systems feel like more work on top of everything else you're already carrying.
The shame keeps you stuck
Every financial mistake feels like proof that you're bad with money — so you avoid looking at the numbers altogether.
The cycle keeps repeating
You make progress, something happens, and you're back at zero. Not because you lack discipline — because no one taught you how to recover.
The problem was never the math. It was everything that happens before and after the math.
Your Guide
I know what it's like to do everything right — and still feel like something is wrong.
I paid off our last debt. The sun was shining. And I opened the front door with a thought heavy in my chest:
"We're completely debt free… and I feel just as miserable as before."
What I was missing wasn't more information. It was the work that happens before the spreadsheet — the nervous system, the mindset, and the ability to recover from a mistake without starting over from zero.
I'm Madeleine Strasburg — financial and life coach, bilingual educator (English and Portuguese), and the creator of the M.O.N.E.Y. Academy. I built the program I wish had existed when I needed it most.
"Financial peace doesn't just come from your financial skills. It comes from managing your mind."
— Madeleine StrasburgThe Method
The work happens in three steps — in this exact order.
Face the Numbers
Before you can change anything, you have to know what you're actually working with. No judgment. No shame. Just the truth — and a plan for what to do with it.
Manage Your Mind
The numbers are only half the work. The other half is what happens in your head when you look at them. We work on both — because one without the other doesn't hold.
Build Momentum
Not a perfect system. Not a rigid budget. Momentum — the kind that keeps going even when life gets hard, because it's built on recovery, not perfection.
What's Possible
This is what shifts when you do the work.
Not overnight. Not perfectly. But consistently — and in a way that actually holds.
You open your bank app without dread
The numbers stop feeling like a verdict. They become information — and you know what to do with them.
You recover from setbacks without starting over
One bad month doesn't undo everything. You know how to get back on track — without the shame spiral.
You stop avoiding the hard conversations
About money. About what you want. About what needs to change. You have the tools to have them.
You build momentum that holds
Not a perfect system. Real progress — built on consistency, not perfection, and recovery, not restart.
Real Results
Real women. Real shifts.

Tell Me MoreThe Cost of Waiting
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Every month you wait is another month of the same cycle. The stress doesn't go away on its own. The avoidance doesn't either. But the good news is: it doesn't take a perfect plan to start.
The stress compounds
Financial anxiety doesn't stay the same — it grows. The longer you avoid the numbers, the heavier they feel.
The cycle repeats
Without the tools to recover, every setback sends you back to zero. The restart costs more each time — in time, money, and confidence.
The window narrows
Every month is a month of momentum you could have built. The best time to start was last year. The second best time is now.
