G-d Wants You To Be Rich
The only LIVE Group Program designed for ambitious, spiritual Jewish women who want to transform their finances by addressing the emotional, spiritual and practical aspects of money in a way that is aligned with eternal Jewish wisdom.
*Zero deprivation required.
I now have my own business, making money doing something I love. And, I’m not afraid anymore to charge, or to even talk about money with my husband.
“This has been the best course I’ve ever taken. I now understand our relationship with money to be completely different than the way I used to think it was meant to be. I now have my own business, making money doing something I love, and second of all I’m not afraid anymore to charge or to even talk about money with my husband. This was a big deal for me at the beginning of the program. Yael pushed me and others gently but with enough conviction that we believed in ourselves and we did the hard work and had the difficult conversations. Thank you for helping me understand Hashem does not have a limit. Thank you for making us cry and laugh and heal. I never thought my husband and I could talk about financial freedom, or make more money, or plan to execute on big dreams. This is real, this is my life now.
My credit score increased 100 points, I’ve paid down over $5,000 in debt. I’m debt-free, except for my student loans.
“This is only some of what I’ve accomplished during and since the program - My credit score increased 100 points, I’ve paid down over $5,000 in debt. I’m debt-free, except for my student loans. I landed a job that I absolutely love with much better pay and benefits. But, all of this was possible because my entire relationship with money has changed due to this program. I’m excited about my financial future and all thanks to you.”
You motivated me, and created a fun, safe space.
“Thank you, Yael! Not only did I become more organized and knowledgeable, but you motivated me, helped me set attainable goals, and created a fun, safe space for uncovering my money hang-ups: all delivered with a generous serving of Jewish insights that gave it all meaning and kept me inspired to take action".
We finally achieved the level of giving that I always wanted.
“At the beginning of the program I told Yael, ‘I want to be free.’ And I can tell you, I really feel free! I feel free about money. I don’t have fears about spending anymore. Also, I can talk to my husband - a big change in my life. So, not only did I change thanks to this program, but my relationship with my husband did, too. It’s amazing now. We finally achieved the level of giving that I always wanted.”
I used to live with a knot in my stomach, I can say that now I’m confident.
“The mindset shift was most empowering, laying the foundation for the practical financial information and guidance. I love how you weaved together the Torah’s perspective on money with clear financial guidance and practical steps to achieve our goals. The course has shifted my mindset towards finances to one of positivity and empowerment. We’re paying down debt, saving for our goals, and interestingly, making more! It’s been a complete shift for me and my husband."
I now look at my numbers asking the right questions like where do I want to go, and what’s my plan to get there.
“I gained so much clarity. I gained the understanding of where my money was going, where there are “money leaks,” where there are opportunities for my money to grow, and for me to improve how I handle it. I also lost the fear to even say the word money. No more fear of looking at my numbers with clarity and with curiosity. I now look at my numbers asking the right questions like where do I want to go, and what’s my plan to get there. I have built so much trust in G-d and awareness of Him in my life, in my financial life! I can say no without fear and make choices from a more empowered place. This program definitely opened the doors of money and wealth for me and has allowed me to take charge of my finances. I learned to activate my bitachon, even in times of balagan!"
The course has shifted my mindset towards finances to one of positivity and empowerment.
"I was scared to look at my numbers. I have no fear now. While I used to live with a knot in my stomach, I can say that now I’m confident. This program really helped me connect with G-d, with His abundance and made me realize it’s really ok to ask Him for money."
Yes, I want in!
Let me take you on this transformational journey. Because this money stuff is complex and I know it.
Hi, I’m Yael Trusch, MBA
Money & Personal Finance is my passion. But, that wasn’t always the case…. 😬
I have a degree in Economics and an MBA. As a single, high-earning woman I could structure and negotiate multi-million dollar deals for corporations.
But when it came to handling my money…
- Bank statements and other financial documents stayed piled up on my kitchen counter. (Bills didn’t always get paid on time).
- Plastic was the only form of payment I thought existed. “Cash… who uses that?”
- Reading my retirement account statements made me dizzy. Off to the recycling bin they go.
- Transferring a retirement account from one employer to another… “Seems complicated. I’ll go for a manicure instead.”
- Hot stock tip from a colleague? “Sure, he must know what he’s talking about. I have extra cash to spare anyway.”
- My motto was "If I want it, I buy it."
My financial strategy could be summed up in one word:
DENIAL
I liked spending money. But, since I feared I would one day not have any, I tried to hide it from myself by placing it in less-than-smart investment plans.
And with the denial came the shame.
“Why can’t I get it together? “ Aren’t I supposed to be ‘good with money’?”
Luckily, one day Prince Charming (aka my husband) flew in and swept me off my feet. The dream life (and denial) grew…. I happily merged finances and handed over any responsibility having to do with money. (Apart from spending it.)
Until our finances took a hard hit in the 2008 Recession. For the first time in our marriage, I saw my husband stressed about money. I was sort of delusional. (That did not do well for our marriage.) I was starting to feel the strain on our otherwise wonderful marriage. I was forced to put on my big girl skirt, and overhaul my relationship with money for good. If not for my own sake, for the sake of my marriage.
The more I studied, the more I realized that the finance part was straightforward.
But money is SO much more than numbers. Money is emotional. If I really wanted to change my thoughts, feelings and behaviors around money, I needed to do more than read personal finance books.
I needed to tap into the eternal wisdom of Judaism. Once I did that, the real transformation happened.
My husband and I started communicating about money, understanding our beliefs, and money stories. We started building empathy, understanding, and trust. We became a powerful unified force. We defined values, goals, and made plans.
We went from being charitable to becoming givers. We held each other accountable even when it was hard.
We kept bringing G-d into the conversation. What is G-d trying to teach us? And more importantly, what does G-d want from us at this moment?
I can confidently say I came out of the last recession a changed woman – empowered, able, calm, yes, wealthier!
Fast forward to COVID’s 2020 and 2021. We’ve managed the financial challenges of the times, in radially different ways than I did a decade ago! All due to the profound way I’ve integrated Jewish wisdom with sound financial practices.
Now, my mission is to help every Jewish woman achieve this joy-filled abundant life that G-d wants to give you. No financial planner or guru will teach you this stuff. But, you have it in your heritage and you deserve to know it.
