Dec. 14th BPW’s Annual Member Meeting and a “Money and Worth” Presentation by Susannah Kavanaugh!

When: Wednesday, December 14th, from 12PM-1PM (doors open at 11:30 for networking)

Location: Tanglewood Grill and Tap; 730 Boardwalk Ave, Bozeman, MT 59718 – We will be meeting outside of Tanglewood’s normal hours at their dining room upstairs.

The first 20 minutes of this luncheon will be our annual “Member Meeting,” where we will vote in our officers for 2023! We encourage all BPW members to attend and state your vote!

Attending to our Money Matters brings up many emotions. It is impossible to avoid the topic as it touches every aspect of our lives, yet, many of us try to do just that. Our decisions about money are 80% emotional. We give it the power to leave us feeling fear, anxiety, shame, regret, disappointment, and embarrassment faster than any other facet in our lives. Often, we tie our self-worth to money.

As a financial therapist, Susannah guide’s her clients to disentangle themselves from their emotions by exploring the role that they want money to play in their lives. They learn to shift their thoughts and perceptions of money to be able to recognize it simply as a tool. Together, we explore their personal values and goals to change the focus of their financial decision-making. Empowering individuals with their finances includes creating money rituals and habits that leave my clients feeling free and optimistic about their futures, as well as, confident in their Money Matters. Financial freedom and enhanced confidence positively impact feelings of self-worth as clients recognize that they are not defined by the numbers in their personal financial accounts.

Susannah Kavanaugh is a Certified Money Coach and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She was a financial analyst in the banking and investment world as she pursued her MBA. As parenting became the focus, she pursued her Masters in Clinical Counseling. While working with individuals, couples, and families, Susannah realized that the topic of money was often left ignored in family dynamics. She learned that families were quickly empowered as soon as open communication channels were created pertaining to money. And from then on, Susannah’s desire to empower individuals and families regarding their personal Money Matters has remained her passion.
