If money stresses you out, read this.
Assalamu Alaikum girlie 💐
It’s 11pm. You’re sitting on your bed, phone in hand, staring at your Sephora cart.
Your favorite serum. A pumpkin spice candle cause fall season. And the lip gloss you can’t go a day without.
You hover over “checkout,” thinking, “Will I have enough to make it to my next paycheck if I buy this?”
You remember the Finance Girlie easy budget template you tried back in April.
It felt amazing… until Eid arrived. Then July. And somehow, it just slipped your mind.
You promised yourself you’d save $500 a month from July to December so you could finally start investing in January.
But somehow that didn’t stick.
Now you feel disappointed, stressed, and wonder if this will ever change.
Will you ever be the girl who just has her money together?
If that’s you, I see you girlie.
And it’s not because you’re ‘just bad with money’.
You’re Not “Bad With Money”
We tell ourselves that all the time, don’t we?
“I’m terrible with money.”
“I always spend too much.”
“I can never stick to a budget.”
But the struggle isn’t about the numbers.
It’s about how we feel about money - the stories we tell ourselves, the habits we’ve learned, and the pressure we/ society puts on us.
Sometimes we treat spending like a moral test: every unnecessary latte or impulse buy feels like failure. Other times, we avoid looking at our bank accounts because seeing the numbers feels like judgment.
You’re not lazy or careless. You’re human.
You’ve just been trying to manage money without the right system or support.
Great news is, that can change faster than you imagine!

Here’s What’s Really Going On
Money stress isn’t just about dollars.
It’s emotional. It’s mental. It’s even spiritual.
When your money habits don’t match your values or your deen, it creates tension.
You keep avoiding your bank app. You overspend when you’re tired or stressed. You feel guilty the next morning.
That cycle becomes familiar, almost comfortable, even though it’s draining.
And deep down, you know you’re meant for more.
Picture a world where:
You buy your lattes without feeling guilty.
You have enough saved for emergencies
You don’t roll your eyes when you’re added to the “Maldives 2026” group chat
Your money finally feels peaceful, not painful.
That’s the transformation we’re working toward.

Here’s How We Flip the Script
I’m so excited to be partnering with Wahed, one of the leading Islamic fintechs in the World, to bring you the Master Your Money Series.
I’ve done several workshops that women told me were complete game-changers for how they (and their husbands) manage money.
But this time, it’s different!
This isn’t just about budgeting.
It’s about rebuilding your relationship with money from the ground up.
So you can finally stop worrying, build a system that works, and crush your financial goals Inshaa Allah.
First Session: Kick Money Stress to the Curb
After this one-hour session, you’ll be able to:
✨ Understand why money stresses you out, even when you earn well
✨ Recognize how your mindset affects your financial peace
✨ Use tools from Islam to release anxiety
✨ Leave with a practical plan you can start right away
You’ll walk away lighter.
More grounded.
Like you can finally breathe around money again.
Why Wait?
Every time you say “I’ll start next month,” you lose another month of peace.
Another month of goals delayed.
Another month of living smaller than you wish.
You’ve worked too hard to keep feeling anxious about money.
You can feel in control, calm, and confident.
This is your chance to make that real, Inshaa Allah
See you Satruday,
Fatimah
