Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I’m your host Adam Coelho and I’m glad you’re here. 

Today I’m joined by my friend, Morgan Bricca, a mural artist, meditator, blogger, author and podcaster in the San Francisco Bay Area. Morgan discovered Financial Independence early on in life and immediately applied the principles in her life, which allowed her to reclaim her time and ultimately leave a job that was unfulfilling to pursue being a professional mural artist. Now, Morgan enjoys life on her terms and has built a mural painting business that allows her to work part-time while earning six figures and making an impact in the community. 

Morgan and I had such a great conversation in which we covered too much for just one episode. So I broke it into two parts. 

In this episode I bring you part 1 of my conversation with Morgan. In it, we explore how Morgan applies the principles of financial independence and mindfulness in her life to live a life filled with alignment and purpose. 

In 2 weeks, I’ll share part 2 of our conversation in which we explore the idea of Craftsmanship.  

In both episodes, Morgan turns the tables on me and things get pretty real. I share some of my biggest dreams and some of the limiting beliefs that have held me back from reaching my goals in the past. 

In today’s episode Morgan and I dive into:

• How reading “Your Money or Your Life” by Vicki Robin changed how Morgan thinks about money and life
• How implementing what she learned in that book set her on the path towards financial independence and allowed her to leave her unfulfilling job in IT to pursue mural painting
• How I met Morgan and how that meeting influenced my path towards my dream of designing and building my own house
• How Morgan’s desire to be of service and make an impact directs her entire life
• How Morgan has reinvented herself as a blogger, podcaster and artist to explore her passion for mural art from many angles
• Why she believes that donating money to charity is the best way to clean up your own finances and what she learned from giving away 10% of her profits early in her career
• The dangers of focusing so much on the future and reaching financial independence that we miss the lives that are ours to live right now
• The power and choice we can all gain now by being on the path to financial independence
