Systems Over Willpower

Every system inside Peace of Mind by Design is built to be followed in real life, not just in theory. Enterprise-grade math, translated into simple tools you'll actually open often, because the best plan is the one you'll actually stick to.

THE FOUNDER

Founder Background

Deana Moore

Founder & CEO

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems from the Marriott School of Business, the marriage between business and computer science. I sharpened that training as a Technology Consultant at PwC, and I’m currently at EY, one of the Big Four accounting firms. I build systems for global enterprises by day, and for years I tried to run that same rigor on our own household by night (not perfectly, we’re human, but closer every year).

Those simple tools are ultimately what helped us, because there’s so much information out there in the financial space, and most of it is either complicated or confusing.

After years of researching what actually works, what’s practical, and what isn’t just noise, I built Peace of Mind by Design to simplify all of it: the mindset shifts, the frameworks, and the tools that cut out the fluff and actually help people reach their goals.

2018 - We got married!

Fresh off our honeymoon, Jake and I sat down and asked one question: what would it take to be financially independent within 10 years? That week, we made the decision, and the plan started.

2020 - First $30K paid off plus home purchase.

Starter debt cleared in March, days before COVID hit. School loans, car debt, and credit cards, all gone. That fall, we visited a friend's parents' custom home in Southlake (an affluent DFW town) and saw what financial freedom actually looks like. We bought our own soon after. Paying off the mortgage became our next big goal. (Screenshot of my personal journal entry on 3/6/2020)

2024 - House paid off. Debt free by 30.

By end of May, the mortgage was gone. Paid off in 3.5 years. That same week, a company-wide layoff wiped out Jake’s entire team except his manager. Crazy timing. Exactly why we built the systems. (Screenshot of mortgage account)

2025 - Our daughter arrived.

Her arrival validated every decision we’d made along the way. Because of the systems we’d built, our home held peace instead of the financial stress most first-time parents carry into parenthood.

Launched the brand to share the framework and mindset that got us here, so others can build their own peace of mind.

OUR APPROACH

The Peace of Mind Method

Sustainable financial freedom isn’t willpower or perfect discipline. It’s a system you design intentionally, run on a rhythm, and live inside. That’s the philosophy behind everything we teach: the Peace of Mind Method, six repeatable steps that turn a plan into a system you actually stick to.

It starts with naming your why, then naming your numbers: what you earn, spend, owe, save, and give, no estimates. From there, every dollar gets a job inside a set of clear buckets, the plan gets automated so it runs without relying on daily willpower, and a simple rhythm keeps you current without guilt. The last step is the one most systems skip: sustaining it, by building an environment where the habit is normal, not the exception.

Six steps. One cycle you live inside, not a checklist you finish.

Peace of Mind Method six-step wheel

01

Name your why

Before you touch a spreadsheet, name the life you’re building.

02

Name your numbers

You cannot design what you cannot see.

03

Design your buckets

Every dollar has a job. You decide the job before the month begins.

04

Automate the flow

Willpower is not a strategy. Systems are.

05

Review the rhythm

The cadence that turns a plan into a system.

06

Sustain the system

Financial freedom is a practice, not a finish line.
