Financial Fluency: How Women Thrive Outside of the 9 to 5

My guest on this week's Financial Fluency is also someone who's passionate about women talking about their money stories. 

We talked about real vs online money, how women seem to have a hard time talking about money and why we believe it's important to change that.

Hilary is a financial powerhouse for women - get stuck in to the episode. You'll love it.

Today's episode is called "Line Item Veto." For those of us in the United States, that has a certain meaning. I found out this morning when I was talking to someone in the UK that they had no idea what that meant!

So how does this apply to your personal finances? Well, to be honest, it's a little bit of a stretch except I love the idea of going through a budget line by line. 

Now what I'm talking about is not you actually making a budget with lots of lines in it, I'm talking about going through all of your transactions over the last month, couple of months, if you're really ambitious it can even be the whole year, and seeing what you have spent on in the past that you are going to veto from now on. How about that?

Welcome to another episode of Financial Fluency - I KNOW I have said this before but this REALLY is one of my favorite people in the online world. 

Jo Gifford has helped me with my business from the very beginning. I struggled (who doesn't?!) with trying to get my content to be right. In a sea of financial information, I wanted to sound like me, while still making sense. Not easy, then I found Jo!

Jo and I talk workflow, content creation and how to just get started. She shares her amazingly simple take on how to build up a file of killer ideas for your audience as well as well as nailing guest posting and getting eyes on your posts.

Hello, and welcome to today's episode of Financial Fluency.

Today, I am super excited about something that has been in the news. I don't always attach the topics of my podcast to current events but something so exciting has come up in the Sports news, no less, that I can't wait to talk about it on the episode.

And that is that five, star players from the U.S women's national soccer team have filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, saying that the U.S Soccer Federation pays the reigning World Cup Champions far less than their male counterparts.

Hello, and welcome to today's episode of Financial Fluency. 

Today, I want to talk about a book that I've been reading recently, or rather, just a chapter really. The book is called, "Daring Greatly" by Brene Brown, the chapter that I really like is Chapter 5, it's called "Mind the Gap" and it's looking at the gap between aspirational and practiced values.

So one way, I think, is a great way to look at this is to ask yourself, "What things do you believe to be most important in life? What is most important to you?"

Then go through your spending transaction by transaction, set up some categories for your top 3 values and see how much goes towards those.

A Guru: a teacher, guide or master, an exemplar, a spiritual guide who helps students to discover what the guru has already realized.

I feel like guru is more than just teacher, it’s more than just helping someone out, it’s more than just teaching someone what you’ve learned, it’s when you have really mastered it and lived by example this thing that you’ve become.

That’s definitely not me. 

While I feel there’s definitely this place for gurus and there’s definitely time to refer to the experts and find out what other people have done to get past any sticking point or roadblock you can’t seem to get by in your progress, either with your business, your finances, your health, whatever it is, there are always times to go to people who know more and who have studied and researched and who are the experts.

Sometimes you just kind of need a Goonies-like band of comrades, of friends, of people who are right in there with you doing it together at the same time.

My guest this week is my tech GURU for any new platforms and my link to Millennials!

I think Melissa's first reaction to Snapchat was so similar to most people's "Whaaaat? Why would I send a picture that disappears?"

We talk about how beautiful the ephemeral quality of Snapchat images is as well as some handy tips to get you started.

If you'd like to comment you can find this episode on my blog.

I recently traded ideas with a "gentlemen" (let's call him a troll!) who stated that there was no wage gap in Hollywood - or anywhere. Hmmmm. 

So in this episode I decided to look into that, because Hollywood is like a microcosm for the rest of the world. If it's happening there, you can bet your bottom Oscar it's happening in "real life" too.
