Hey fam! I’m Shakira Drones, a money coach, author, speaker, and registered nurse. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle debt, bills, and uncertainty about where to even begin. At one point, I was buried under $111,722.47 in debt, confused, exhausted, and unsure if I’d ever find a way out.

But after 3 years of grinding, a mindset shift, and a clear plan, I paid off every dollar, and now I help others do the same.

Through my coaching practice, Budget and Heal, I provide trauma-informed 1:1 and group coaching services that guide women out of debt and into financial clarity. I’m certified in the Trauma of Money Method, which allows me to coach from a lens that’s both practical and compassionate. My approach blends budgeting education, goal setting, debt management strategies, and accountability systems to help you rebuild confidence and take real control of your money.

Whether you’re living paycheck to paycheck, feeling stuck despite earning a good income, or overwhelmed by trying to figure it all out alone, I’m here to help.

As part of the Budget and Heal, I also offer motivational and personal finance products through my online store, including my signature Overleveraged eBook, downloadable budgeting tools, cash stuffing budget binders, and affirmation-based apparel and accessories. Everything I create is designed to help you move from chaos to clarity, one step at a time.

I created The Breakthrough Blueprint 2.0, my signature 8-week coaching program, to blend financial education with personalized planning and live coaching. It includes downloadable templates, structured planning tools, and strategy-packed sessions, so you’re not just organizing your money, you’re transforming your relationship with it.

Through my 3 core pillars, financial literacy, personal development, and accountability, I support women in taking bold steps toward clarity, freedom, and peace. Because the version of you that’s been surviving doesn’t have to be the one that leads your next chapter.

Let’s get clear, get organized, and take that first step, together.
