It was the tipping point. I spent 3 times what I initially intended to on a pot for my plants. And what I have been suspecting for a while stroke me. I had to stop. I was spending way over my budget every month. So, I looked up on apple podcast: How to save money, and Ideal Balance came up. It has been just the support I had been looking for. The step by step. The how to start and beyond. Since listening to Ideal Balance I have not only been improving my finances but also my everyday habits thanks to Vanessa and Shana’s recommendations.

Love the female voice speaking into this space. Thank you for this resource!

Love it! Would recommend a shorter intro if possible 😊

Obsessed w podcasts and was browsing for new ones when I came across a familiar face! Binged a few episodes and I have to say, “Way to go girl!” So happy for you and the journey life has taken you on so far!

These ladies are so fun but also very helpful! My family and I live off of one income and I have been wanting to know more about how to delegate that money well and make sure we are being good stewards of what has been provided but did know how and in what ways I could Improve, these ladies showed me how! Their methods are very doable and the information they share is so helpful for budgeting and managing finances! Thank you ladies for all your wisdom and helping a STAHM be better!

I’ve been working with Vanessa for a couple months now. After following this podcast for a while I took a chance and a signed up for personal coaching. It has been a game changer for me. Vanessa goes above and beyond to help me manager my finances and spending. I appreciate the bi monthly organizational homework. It’s making me accountable and I feel super empowered.

I was praying for more financial guidance that is scripture based and this is it!

I love how you guys partner up for this podcast, it’s super refreshing and you make all of these big money issues seems so simple. I absolutely love that.

Alright, so I stumbled upon the “Ideal Balance“ podcast, and let me tell you, it's a real gem. These hosts totally get it – they break down the money stuff, making budgeting and money management feel less like a chore and instead, a real source of empowerment. I love that this podcast zeroes in on those money challenges we all face and their down-to-earth advice makes taking ownership over your finances so approachable. Seriously, whether you're just dipping your toes or you're a money pro, you gotta tune in. Thank you Shana and Vanessa for dishing out this fun, empowering money wisdom! 🎉

Best financial coaching podcast I’ve ever listened to. I feel like I have two new friends who have my back and believe in me as I work on this road of simplifying and rethinking my money mindset. Thanks for the light touch on a rough topic but also a candidly saying what I need to hear. I’d give this ten stars!

Insightful and informative. A must listen if you’re ready to get your financial life in order!

Earlier this year I wanted to learn about money and budgeting and that’s when I found Ideal Balance. It is so great to listen to two women, who are friends, who obviously adore each other, who are so supportive toward each other and their families, talk about money, how to budget, how to get out of debt, how to stay out of debt, and how to live abundantly. After only a few months of coaching I can now see how these things can actually happen for me and my family. Even before doing the coaching, I learned so much from their podcasts. Thank you Shana and Vanessa!

So needed to hear this! I can't wait to implement all I'm learning and get back on track! Good buy impulse buys and guilt! Hello budgeting and joy! Can't wait to hear more!

Wowzers!! So thankful for you ladies going so deep to share your wisdom with us! I have lots to learn from y’all! -Bekah

My husband and I looove listening to The Ramsey Show - and what a GEM this podcast is, that it’s from the perspective of women who are business-savvy, money smart, while also prioritizing their faith, personal lives, and families on top of it all. In a world where women hold so many roles and responsibilities - with pressures on every side (including from ourselves) - but ironically are very rarely properly EQUIPPED on how to actually do and navigate through it all (and from a biblical lens!), this podcast is so refreshing and such a rich blessing... no pun intended :) Cannot wait to keep listening and learning through these episodes!! -Grace from Let’s Unpack That with Alex

Just listened to the episode where Shana and Vanessa talk about menu planning and grocery shopping. Really appreciate the tips and system that Chelsie shares around having the family help with the menu planning for the week with the index cards! Thank you! ~ Anna

This is good information for managing money! I love Vanessa and Shana's energy and encouragement.

I really struggle with harshness of the sound quality on this awesome podcast. It sounds like there’s an echo and makes it really hard to listen to. If you’re not sensitive to this, like me, give it a listen, these women know their stuff and the episodes are CHOCK FULL of incredibly helpful and insightful content.

This podcast is a must listen for women! Love the wisdom and practical tools shared for us to thrive in our finances!🙌🏼

Why is there so much "man splaining" in the financial space? Thanks for offering relatable, financial advice that any woman can use!

These two BFF’s can literally finish each other’s sentences. That’s how in sync they are with each other. And that’s how in sync you will be with your finances when you listen to their podcast. Check out Ideal Balance with Shana and Vanessa. Highly recommend!!!

I am so thankful for this podcast becasue Vanessa and Shana really make financial management seem so doable and way less intimidating. You leave each episode feeling like you can actually manage your money without the stress!

These ladies have a great dynamic. You can tell that they are best friends, and they share lots of common sense budgeting tips. I like Dave Ramsey‘s method, but I didn’t really like the way he came across. You ladies are much more fun, and you understand a lot more about my budgeting needs than he does. Great work!

Thank you ladies for teaming up to tackle these tough topics!

Shana and Vanessa are obviously experts at what they do. The episodes featuring their clients are my favorite, because they showcase the amazing financial (and life) transformation clients go through without increasing income!! Putting aside thousands of dollars toward debt or savings every month without increasing income is freaking impressive, finance-ninja level stuff. Plus, Shana and Vanessa are super relatable and down to earth to boot. Listen to them, learn from them, hire them 😊

So much value with actionable step-by-step approach!

While I do love rice and beans, I love these tips even more. Shana
