"When we think about the way we think about money, it is really just a direct reflection of the way that we think about ourselves, our potential, and our ultimate success and ability to succeed in life."  - Ashton August

@anastasiabarbuzzi and @iamashtonaugust's paths first crossed via @yogiapproved 🧘🏻‍♀️, which Ashton founded in 2015. However, yoga wasn’t always a driving force in her life.

Once an English professor at Ashford University, Ashton’s yoga practice “opened the gate” to dealing with deep-rooted anxiety and depression. Now, the 32-year-old author, writer and #femaleentrepreneur has moved away from her roots in Denver, CO, to the desert in Tucson, AZ 🌵, to continue growing @yogiapproved's global community through movement and mindfulness. (P.S: If you haven’t checked out her @yaclasses, you’re missing out! 🤸🏻‍♀️)

Today on the podcast, Ashton and Anastasia talk routines (morning + yoga + nighttime), productivity, lack-based mindset, abundance theory, intention setting, and so much more.

To follow along with Ashton, check her out on Instagram and be sure to pay a visit to www.yogiapproved.com.

To flow with her, head to @yaclasses / https://www.yogiapproved.com/classes/ - A food-producing tree is planted for every class you take!

“What if there were a way to achieve financial freedom and live your dreams, without taking big risks or making drastic changes?”

After reading about David Bach's The Latte Factor, host Anastasia Barbuzzi was inspired to create a series on millennial money habits. Whether you're living paycheck to paycheck, or simply want to do better financially, this series is for you.

Today's habit of study: coffee.

At just 23 years old, @donyaa.khandan has a successful career helping people build generational wealth through strengthening their money mindset and building a healthy relationship with their finances. She also marched into @anastasiabarbuzzi's DMs just in time for the brand new Hone Your Habits series on $HMONEY Radio 🎙💚. 

After reading about David Bach's The Latte Factor, Anastasia was inspired to create a series on millennial money habits. The book’s title seemed like a giant metaphor for how the small purchases we make can add up if we’re not conscious of our spending. 

But, what if there were a way to achieve financial freedom and live your dreams, without taking big risks or making drastic changes? That’s what many of us are afraid of anyway: having to completely overhaul our lifestyles to accommodate for smarter spending. 

Surprise! That’s where #HYH comes in. There’s a few reasons why you’ll love this series:

💸 Your advisor has experience in managing personal finance but also faces a lot of the same spending distractions millennials do today. 

⏱ Each episode is a quick 15-20 minutes of solid gold. #HYH episodes are short and digestible, and they’re perfect to listen to on your way to work. Airing on Monday mornings, they kick off your week the right way!

🔍 We cover every little habit, (no matter how silly), that millennials and even younger generations struggle with. From Starbucks addictions to owing repayment apps like Sezzle. 

🗓 #HYH is an ongoing series, which means we’ll never stop covering what’s trending when it comes to millennial money habits. Because of that, you’ll have a timely resource to refer to. This also gives you the opportunity to shoot us topics you’d like us to cover! 

☕️ Finally, we reveal that you do not need to stop doing things you like to do, like go for a walk and treat yourself to a latte. 

Whether you're living paycheck to paycheck, or simply want to do better financially, this series is for you.

*NOTE: #HYH will air in addition to $HMONEY’s regularly scheduled Hump Day episodes. We’ve got you covered 🐪.

“There's always a way to make it work, regardless. And we've been through hard times.”  - Cindy Barbuzzi

This week, we took a break from our regularly scheduled Hump Day episode to bring you a Sunday Mother’s Day special with your host, @anastasiabarbuzzi, and her mother, Cindy. 

Today on the show, they dive deep into...

💸 Cindy’s money story

👫 Her unique upbringing as one of 11 children

📈 Personal finance & family life

“I think that many people are just sort of recognizing that the silence, the shame and the fear about money really doesn’t serve anybody.”  - Ayana Campbell Smith

It’s almost time to pack your beach bag, and thankfully, the @millennialmoney.guide came up with the ultimate personal finance reading list for the summer 📚⛱. (DO NOT forget your SPF!)

Web designer by trade, millennial finance expert by choice, Ayana started the @millennialmoney.guide as a newsletter after her passion for personal finance spurred her to create a list of topics that she felt young people needed to know about. Fast forward to today and she’s a full-on $HMONEY coach 💰, teaching millennial women & couples to get “unstuck” so they can ditch debt, save more and win together.

On today’s episode of $HMONEY Radio, she chats with @anastasiabarbuzzi about how money was once in the “same vein” as taboo topics like going through therapy, but recognizing the benefits of “opening up” about finance can lead to improved situations for everyone. Besides giving you the scoop on her favourite reads, she also discusses money mindset and tips for making financial advice stick.

There's a couple of things you’ll 💚 love 💚 about this reading list:

⏱ It contains five short, easy reads that you can refer back to in a pinch.

"We should be taught about mortgages in school. We should be taught about how to manage debt, how credit cards work... Those are the kinds of things we should be taught about in school and we don't really get that at all."  - Ania Boniecka

Today on $HMONEY Radio, @anastasiabarbuzzi welcomes @aniab — model, social media star, digital content producer & former accountant. *BONUS INSIDE! Ania talks taxes on CERB money, mortgages & more.

Before Ania amassed a following of over 100,000 people on Instagram and started running a successful production company with her husband/photographer @stalman, she worked as an office manager at her brother’s accounting firm.

Today, the creative career path she carved for herself takes her to some of the dreamiest places in the world to capture stunning imagery for top brands. But even with the busyness and excitement of day-to-day operations, she still makes it a point to teach her audience about financial literacy 💰📚.

In their chat, Anastasia & Ania discuss what brought her to Canada from Poland 🇵🇱 , her modelling career, and come up in the industry. They also talk about how Ania met Tyler, what it’s like to run a business with your partner, workplace stereotypes, the money taboo, the biggest lessons she’s learned about personal finance, and why there’s never been a better time to talk about money.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build a following and community online, work independently, or live a nomadic lifestyle as a public figure in the digital age, this episode is for you.

Follow @aniab and @stalman on Instagram for endless inspiration.  Plus, check out www.aniab.com for all things style, travel, beauty and lifestyle.

“People just see the highlights, but they probably need to see the backside of it as well." - Andre Albritton

Today on @shmoneyradio, @anastasiabarbuzzi will be joined by her second male guest, Hotlanta 🌶 transplant Andre Albritton, a.k.a @themillennialsnextdoor — the Florida native and self-proclaimed investing nerd who’s breaking down money concepts for millennials and centennials💰.

We love how Andre’s platform recognizes that generations Y, X & Z aren’t taught how to manage money — we’re only taught how to earn more and spend more through consumer culture 💸.

@themillennialsnextdoor also accomplishes something that $HMONEY aims to with every episode: Andre breaks down complicated finance topics into small, digestible tidbits that are more than easy to understand.

To top things off, Andre is also the host of The Flavor Podcast 🎙🔥, which offers weekly episodes focused on investing and earning money in a “real-world way” (exactly what the financial influencer space needs more of).

Basically, Andre is a trusted advisor on everything from stock trading to real estate investment trusts, and on today's episode of $HMONEY Radio, he discusses just how feared personal finance concepts truly are. Andre also talks about social media's smoke screen and harps on net worth, which is something he openly shares about on @themillennialsnextdoor 🏠.

“…It ties into women and our financial empowerment, and if we aren’t talking about these numbers, then we’re just embedding the gender pay gap, the gender wealth gap…

We’re really holding women back from asking for what they’re worth, and I think getting over the uncomfortable situation of talking about money is worthwhile for all women to start doing if we ultimately want to get to a place where we have equality (or closer to equality) when it comes to finances.” - Ellie Austin-Williams

At one point in her life, 🇬🇧-based @thisgirlstalksmoney spent more cash on manis than meals 💅🏼. Today, she’s a lawyer-turned-financial-coach who’s post-uni awakening to how little she knew about personal finance led her to help millennial women with money 💸.

According to Ellie (not just @shmoneyradio), “the money taboo” crosses all cultures and in the U.K., there’s apparently a “really big problem” with discussing uncomfortable subjects — “Money is right up there,” Ellie says.

With a vast knowledge about investing, Ellie lets @anastasiabarbuzzi in on how as a twenty-something, she turned out a six-figure investment portfolio in five short years, the gender pay & wealth gaps, women’s risk aversion and the effects on a “strong investor mindset”, why the investment world wasn’t made for “ambitious” women, the growth of ethical investing, and so much more.

If your brain blows up anytime you consider learning more about investing, today's episode will reverse the damage - promise. Think of it as a friendly lesson on approaching investing with a different outlook (a more positive one, at that).

"I believe that when recovering from major financial loss (as many people are attempting to during the pandemic), mental health is really a deciding factor. But under the microscope of a more traditionalist, capitalistic viewpoint, we’re expected, in so many words, to 'keep on pushing forward' or 'make things work' without the means to do so - energetically, emotionally, and of course, mentally." - Anastasia Barbuzzi

You read the title. This week, @anastasiabarbuzzi zeroes in on the effects of money on mental health and the impact of financial loss on recovery, especially during the pandemic.

"I do get upset when it comes to the societal norms as they're applied to women and women's health." - Ellen Mihalovich

Last week, host @anastasiabarbuzzi introduced you to the concept of this two-part series on #menstrualequity. This week, she’ll conclude the series with the help of @ellenbrecken, the founder of @gemmwell 💎: a fem-health marketplace focused on vaginal health, periods, pregnancy, postpartum and pleasure.

Before @gemmwell came into the picture, Ellen founded La Belleforte, a platform that fostered authentic conversations about periods, cutting through all the branding and medical jargon on the internet. She'll give you the details on the transition in her introduction to this episode (since we recorded it prior to the switch).

Nevertheless, it’s full of valuable information about the inaccessibility of menstrual products and the effects. Did you know that one in five women in the U.S. are faced with difficult decisions like whether they should supply themselves menstrual products or feed their families every month? ...Now you do.

In their chat today on $HMONEY Radio, Ellen and Anastasia discuss the lack of federal laws surrounding the disclosure of ingredients and materials used to make menstrual products (which factored into her decision to start @gemmwell), access to education on reproductive health, and the link between systemic racism and uterine fibroids.

To stay updated on all things Gemwell, follow along here.
