Did the past year leave your finances feeling off track; unexpected expenses, plans falling apart, or goals you just couldn’t reach? If so, I want you to hear this first: You’re not alone, and you’re not stuck.

In this video, I’m walking you through a 6‑step financial comeback plan to help you reset your finances after a rough year, without shame, guilt, or unrealistic pressure. This is about regrouping, rebuilding, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

I’m Bola Sokunbi, founder and CEO of Clever Girl Finance, bestselling author, and host of the Clever Girls Know Podcast. Welcome to Clever Girl Finance TV!

In this video, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Forgive yourself and reframe your money story
✅ Audit your finances and face the numbers with confidence
✅ Create a realistic “comeback budget” for your current season
✅ Rebuild a mini emergency fund, even if you’re starting small
✅ Set clear, achievable financial goals for the next 3, 6, and 12 months
✅ Reset your finances with support, not shame

This reset isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. Small steps taken consistently can completely change where you are a year from now.
