Hillary Seiler is the founder of Financial Footwork, a financial education platform. Using the athlete mindset, her program translates the strategy of winning at sports, to winning with money. Listen as she shares simple easy tips to start using TODAY to manage your money like a pro!

The Financial Footwork program was birthed from Hillary’s seven-year heartbreak of watching her family struggle emotionally and financially through her mother’s terminal illness. Her perspective of what happens when life hits--and thousands of dollars in medical bills, years of lost wages, and family stress brought on by financial strain, come to a head--fostering her mission to help others understand and establish financial stability.

Hillary Seiler is a professional speaker and author of three books on financial training and development. She has a current YouTube segment, Convos with Coach Hill, approaching its second season where she interviews NFL players on money, life, and the game. She has recently been interviewed on three podcasts, The List TV, Micro Empires, Good Yvenings, and Vision, Hustle, Grit & Gratitude. For the past four years has been the go-to financial education resource for more than seven NFL teams.

We self-sabotage our happiness and success when we take on too much. In this episode, we explore:

Even if your day still looks a little crazy or a little overwhelming - it’s OK. You shift your mindset in a way that doesn't leave you feeling like you let anybody down. You can still find the fun in those moments and walk away knowing that you are building time in your day to be a better mom and a better version of yourself.

How shifting our mindset & perspective about our tasks and activities can change how we think about those items, how we think about our time, and the benefits that we get from it.  Maximizing our most productive times and finding the fun in the everyday!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month (though I kind of think every day is).  We need to prioritize and plan for something, not just when we are struggling, but also through our self-care and stress management every day.

The first step is to normalize the conversation.  I’ve heard several times this year the phrase “It’s ok to not be ok” and really feel that the more we can embrace this - the less stigma and avoidance of seeking treatment we will see.

Check-in on yourself and others and offer a safe place to be vulnerable and honest.
