    The programme

    From money anxiety to ease

    A twelve-week arc, six live sessions every two weeks, built so you actually implement what you learn.

    What you'll leave with

    • —Your own financial dashboard: one calm place to see everything you own, owe and earn, without the heart palpitations.
    • —A simple, realistic plan you can actually follow.
    • —A steadier relationship with money that no longer runs your nervous system.

    Who it's for

    • —Capable, responsible people who look on top of it outside but feel behind inside.
    • —Anyone who swings between avoiding money and over-controlling it.
    • —Leaders, founders and professionals who want emotional depth and practical structure, not one without the other.

    How it works

    • —Twelve weeks, six live in-depth sessions.
    • —2–3 hours per week, including the live Zoom sessions.
    • —Small groups, maximum eight people on the same journey.
    • —Guided homework and a starter pack, so the work lands between sessions.
    • —Facilitated by Gauri van Gulik, founder of DearMoney.

    About

    DearMoney's Founder and CEO

    I'm Gauri van Gulik. For two decades I've worked as a leader, and alongside leaders, in human rights, philanthropy and social change. Again and again I saw something we rarely name: brilliant, responsible people carrying deep anxiety about money, myself included, because no one had given them a space to look at it without shame and the evidence-based tools to set their finances up with care.

    Money touches so much of us: our history, class, power, family, fear, ambition, care. Ignore the emotional layer and we overwork, avoid or freeze. Talk only about feelings and ignore the structure, and nothing actually changes.

    DearMoney brings both together. In small groups, with rigour and kindness, we look at your story and your spreadsheets. The aim is steadiness, clarity, and decisions you can stand behind.
