Chills with TFC

In this episode, we dive deep into an issue many of us struggle with - maintaining balance in an age of constant digital distraction - especially with convenient online shopping apps with deals and promos, amongst others.

Our guest today, Lisa Adulting, understands firsthand how personal finances can impact your well-being and sense of stability in life. Growing up, lack of resources took a toll that still influences her habits today. Over the past two years, Lisa has openly shared her budgeting tips and strategies for achieving financial goals.

But lately, Lisa has been reflecting on how her spending habits have shifted, not necessarily for the better. Through her journey with "low buying" and increased online browsing, Lisa realised her relationship with online shopping had transformed in an unhealthy way.

In our candid conversation, Lisa gets real about the subtle effects constant deal-hunting was having on her mental well-being and ability to be present. She shares how reflecting on this led her to re-evaluate what really matters with her time.

Tune in as we discuss Lisa's thought-provoking perspective on seeking balance between modern conveniences and cultivating mindfulness. If you ever feel pulled in too many directions or struggle with distractibility, or need a call to reassess your relationship with spending and planning, you don't want to miss this candid chat. Join us to be motivated and inspired.
