The future feels uncertain, but what if you could see where your money is headed? Financial projections aren’t about predicting the future but about preparing for it. In this episode of Money Feels, we’re exploring the value of playing with your numbers, why seeing your financial trajectory can reduce anxiety, and how our very own Bridget accidentally became a tech CEO.

We're your hosts, Alyssa and Bridget. Welcome to the podcast, where we talk through our money trauma and create a better understanding of building a healthy relationship with finance.

In today's episode, we discuss the following:

• Gilded! Sign up here
• Why financial projections matter (and why most people avoid them)
• The surprising emotional impact of seeing your financial future laid out
• How playing with numbers can help you make more confident decisions
• The difference between a financial planning app and a spreadsheet
• What went into building a financial planning tool (and how Bridget became a tech CEO)
