About the founder and facilitator
Gauri van Gulik has spent two decades working as a leader in human rights, philanthropy, and social change.
Again and again, she saw something we rarely discuss: brilliant, responsible people carrying deep anxiety about money. People who could hold a room, run a campaign, move donors and governments. And who would freeze, avoid, or spiral the moment money came up personally.
She built DearMoney for that reason. And she facilitates each cohort herself.
How the twelve weeks unfold
Here is the maturity model we use to move from anxiety to ease.
This is a zero-shame programme rooted in care, kindness, and inclusivity. We move together from anxiety, through imagination and intention, into structure and ease. By week three you will understand your full financial picture for the first time. By the end you will have a clear sense of direction, your next steps, and an everyday system you can keep using.
Module 1: Our money stories
Why do you feel such anxiety when it comes to money? We dive in and ask ourselves a series of questions that uproot where some of our beliefs, fears, and shame around money come from. This work helps us let go of money beliefs that do not serve us and start to imagine a different way forward.
Module 2: Our 'wealthy' lives
Instead of focusing first on expenses, budgets and cutting costs, we take this session to dream. How would you picture your version of wealth? We explore the areas and things that spark deep joy and contentment for you. The aim is learning what we value most so that those things shape how we set up our finances, not the other way around.
Module 3: Our money goals
Let's translate those deep feelings of joy into actual, achievable goals. We reflect on what short, medium and long term financial goals make up your dream financial plan.
Module 4: Costing the future
Here's where we get into numbers to make your goals more concrete. This module helps you set a clearer, specific goal around two things we all need: an emergency fund and to be able to live well when we're older.
Module 5: Setting you up for success
How will you actually translate your dreams and goals into your financial set-up? What accounts do you need and how will they work together? We create a picture together of what your ideal financial infrastructure is.
Module 6: Connecting the dots
Time to take stock and reflect on where you are now and what you'd like to explore next. We go through what we have learned and document the progress you have all gone through. We ask you to reflect on the goals you have set, and any fears or unanswered questions you are still holding on to.
