Financial Peace University
Build the knowledge. Practice the skills. Make them your own.
Financial Peace University provides a structured approach to learning the basics of managing money, from budgeting and debt to saving and planning for the future.
I teach Financial Peace University because financial education matters. Understanding how money works gives you tools and choices you may not have had before.
But learning something in a class and applying it to your own life aren't always the same thing.
What Is Financial Peace University?
A step-by-step approach to managing money
Financial Peace University (FPU) is a nine-lesson financial education program from Ramsey Solutions designed to teach practical money-management skills.
The course covers topics such as budgeting, paying off debt, saving for emergencies, understanding insurance, building wealth, and planning for the future.
Classes provide structure, education, and an opportunity to work through the material alongside others who are also making changes in their financial lives.
Why I Teach FPU
Financial education can change what feels possible.
I've spent more than 20 years helping people understand and work with money, and I've seen what can happen when something that once felt confusing or overwhelming finally starts to make sense.
That's why education remains one of the three parts of my work:
Financial Therapy • Coaching • Education
FPU provides participants with a foundation and a framework. As an instructor, my role is to help make the material understandable, practical, and relevant to real life.
And sometimes a class raises questions that are bigger or more personal than the lesson itself.
A note about my FPU classes
I volunteer my time as an FPU coordinator and do not receive the registration fees paid for the course. I teach FPU because I believe financial education can be an important part of helping people build knowledge, confidence, and skills with money.
When Knowing What to Do Isn't the Whole Answer
You can understand the lesson and still find it difficult to live it.
You may understand how to create a budget but still struggle to follow one, or be working on debt but find yourself returning to the credit card. You and your partner may understand the same financial principles but experience money very differently. Or something you're learning may have made you curious about your own money habits, beliefs, or experiences.
That doesn't mean the education didn't work. It may mean there's another part of the conversation worth exploring.
Financial therapy and coaching provide space to make the work more personal, to look at what's happening in your financial life and determine what kind of support would be useful.
Upcoming Classes
If no class is currently scheduled: New classes are offered periodically. Check back for upcoming dates and registration information.
Education is one part of financial change.
Learning how money works matters. So does understanding how you work with money.
Restorative Financial Therapy brings those pieces together through financial therapy, coaching, and education.
