Are you grinding away at your money goals but still feeling unfulfilled? You're not alone. In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, I chat with Jordan Grumet to tackle the big question: What’s the difference between purpose and happiness? Why do so many of us struggle with purpose anxiety? And how can we rethink our relationship with money to build a life that feels truly meaningful?

Jordan breaks down the difference between 'big P' purpose—the daunting, goal-oriented ideal that can cause anxiety—and 'little p' purpose, which is all about finding joy in the process. He explores how money is a tool, not the goal itself, and why building purpose through action is the key to living a life aligned with your values.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of chasing goals without feeling fulfilled, this conversation is packed with practical strategies, powerful insights, and actionable takeaways to help you get unstuck and move forward.

As the year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on my own money story—where I’ve been stuck, what I’ve accomplished, and where I want to go in 2025. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking about the changes you want to make and how to finally reach those goals you’ve been dreaming about.

In this episode, I’m joined by Summer McStravick, the creator of Flow Dreaming, to explore how this practice can help you reset your mindset, align with your goals, and step into the new year with a fresh perspective. I know “flow dreaming” might sound a little out there, but it’s not—it’s all about using visualization, emotions, and energy to get unstuck and create a life that feels aligned.

We’ll talk about why money is about so much more than just numbers, how snapback fears keep you playing small, and why taking time to reset at the end of the year is so important. Plus, Summer leads a guided flow dreaming session to help you visualize and set the tone for your financial goals in 2025.

This episode is personal for me, and I hope it gives you a little clarity and inspiration to make 2025 your best year yet.

What if the next five years could be the best of your life—including your bank account—but only if you stop winging it and actually make a plan?

Let’s face it: most of us spend more time planning a vacation than we do mapping out our future. But what if 2025 could be the year you crush your money goals and start creating a life you’re obsessed with? Today, I’m hanging with the amazing Catherine Collins, and we’re spilling the tea on why a five-year plan isn’t just some boring concept—it’s the ultimate tool to take control of your finances, your purpose, and your life.

In this episode, Catherine shares her game-changing method for creating a five-year plan that actually works. Even as a skeptic, I was blown away by how simple yet transformative her approach is. We’ll dive into:

This isn’t just a feel-good episode—it’s your opportunity to hit pause, map out your next five years, and start making decisions your future self will thank you for. I can’t think of a better way to round out the year and set the stage for 2025.

In this episode, I’m joined by Aja Evans, financial therapist and author of Feel-Good Finance, to unravel the messy connection between your emotions and money. Together, we’re calling out fake financial milestones, exposing the real reasons behind your money habits, and breaking free from the self-worth-bank-account trap.

What if the way you think about money isn’t really your fault?

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Husserl, author of The Power of Enough, to unravel the concept of financial DNA—the inherited beliefs, patterns, and habits that shape your relationship with money. Together, we break down why the traditional “abundance vs. scarcity” mindset is outdated and how redefining wealth beyond material possessions can change everything.

Elizabeth introduces practical tools like the Wealth Mandala and Satiation Journal to help you go beyond the numbers and connect with wealth in a way that feels emotional, visceral, and empowering. We’ll also talk about the power of self-compassion, grieving old money stories, and why physical movement might be the missing link in your financial wellness journey.
