BrightPath Academy: Budget Like a Boss - 90 min course

The Financial Discovery Series is a comprehensive, traumatically informed financial education system built for learners of all ages and backgrounds, especially those historically excluded from traditional financial systems. Developed by Aaron B. Kershaw and BuildingBlocs Literacy, this series transforms complex money topics into practical, confidence-building tools that promote financial freedom and generational stability.

The curriculum is designed around a 3-tiered model: 

Learn → Budget →Succeed.

It begins with Money Adventure, a foundational resource on how money works. Then comes the Budget Like a Boss Workbook, which offers hands-on templates and debt strategies. Finally, Budget Like a Boss (Book) helps individuals adjust financial plans for life’s biggest transitions.

What makes this program unique is its real-life voice, adaptable format (books, courses, workshops), and emphasis on emotional and behavioral roots of money management. Whether used in schools, workforce programs, or nonprofit settings, Financial Discovery Series doesn’t just teach budgeting, it cultivates confidence, stability, and long-term change.
