A Benefit of Partnering with The Period Pantry
The Money Honey Co.
Money doesn't have to be intimidating, and neither does the woman who helps you master it.
A financial wellness coaching practice founded by Leanne Listman that meets women where they are — sliding-scale, trauma-informed money-confidence literacy and coaching for women in crisis and transition.
Dignity + Dollars
Confidence, one small step at a time.
Why it matters
Why it's a benefit of working with The Period Pantry
Through the Pantry's Dignity & Dollars programming, shelter partners already receive pro bono financial-literacy sessions — meaning organizations that partner with The Period Pantry also give the women they serve a trusted financial wellness coach who's already in the room.
No cold calls. No judgment. Just a person who understands that financial confidence is part of feeling safe and free.
Dignity means both — a woman shouldn't have to choose between a pad and financial support.

From the founder
Why I started The Money Honey Co.
I started The Period Pantry because I grew up watching women make impossible choices. I started The Money Honey Co. so money would never be the reason a woman stays somewhere unsafe, misses an opportunity, or feels small. You don't need to have it figured out. You just need to start — and I'll be right there with you.
Good questions
Answers, without the fine print
Do I need to know anything about money first?
Not a thing. You don't need to bring anything but yourself. We start exactly where you are.
What if I can't afford it?
Sessions are sliding-scale, and Dignity & Dollars coaching is free for shelter and recovery partners.
Is this like having a financial advisor?
No. This is educational coaching. We help you build confidence, skills, and a plan — we don't manage investments or give investment or tax advice.
Can we meet online?
Yes. Virtual sessions are available, so you can get support no matter where you are.
Rooted in the mission
