  • Episode 16: Shape Your Finances in Style with Evelyn Poh

    Financial Independence Starts with Understanding Your 'Why'


    In this insightful episode, our host Nina Devouge and co-host Chery Ng-Dharsan chat with special guest Evelyn Poh, a Financial Stylist, about the importance of clarity in setting financial goals. 🎯


    Evelyn shares a powerful story of a couple who decided to redirect funds from saving for their children's expensive U.S. university fees to pursue their own retirement dreams—buying a boat and sailing the world! 🚤 This highlights that financial success isn’t just about accumulating wealth, but about aligning money with personal values and goals. 🌍💰


    Key takeaways:

    🔑 Define your "why" before setting financial goals.

    🔑 Invest early, especially for women! Start building assets and allow the power of compounding to work for you. 📈

    🔑 Be intentional about your financial decisions—whether it's for retirement, education, or something else that truly matters to you.


    It’s never too late to start investing in your future! 💪

  • Episode 15: Setting up for 2025 with Geraldine Gauthier

    Closing 2024 Strong, Setting the Stage for 2025!

    As we wrap up this year, we Nina Devouge and Cheryl Ng-Dharsan, had an incredible conversation with Geraldine Gauthier, founder of GoMasterCoach, about reflecting on our journey and planning for a successful 2025. Here are the 3 key takeaways from the discussion:


    1️⃣ Focus on Your Strengths – Identify your "sweet spot," embrace what you're good at, and stop being overly critical of yourself. 💪

    2️⃣ Stop Bullying Yourself – Be kinder to yourself. Progress starts with self-compassion. 🌱

    3️⃣ Act on It – Dare to take small, meaningful risks. Step out of your comfort zone, even if it's just a little, and watch yourself grow! 🚀


    🌟 Incremental changes make a big difference! A simple pivot—like writing down your goals and seeing them daily—can help align your conscious and subconscious mind toward success. We shared inspiring practices, including writing a “goal check” to keep in your wallet or sticking motivational notes on mirrors to remind you of your "why."


    As we prepare for a new year, let’s treat 2025 as a game—what challenges will you tackle, and how will you have fun while becoming the person you truly aspire to be?


    🎧 Tune in now and reflect on how you can step into the new year with purpose and confidence. Let’s make 2025 the year of possibilities!
