Hot Girls Cry

Andee Sloot is a financial advisor on a mission to empower more proactive, money-savvy women entrepreneurs. Dubbed as a "money's therapist", Andee meets with women in all walks and stages of life, to align their financial planning to their core, personal values.

In this episode, Andee explains the dos and don'ts of financial planning, demystifies the barriers to financial wellbeing and explains why you shouldn't spend money the same way you do with toothpaste.

Key takeaways:
-Match your lifestyle to your business pricing, because having a six-figure business doesn't mean anything if at the end of the month you have no money left.
-Every single life decision has an impact on your finances, so you should find a financial accountability partner as soon as possible.
-Prioritize building a 3-6 months' emergency fund instead of paying your student loan faster
-Credit cards programs dilute your money awareness
-Nothing is permanent: if you're in debt right now, remember that you won't be in debt forever
-Women live longer lives than men, so they need tailored plans.

Dorsey Standish is a mechanical engineer turned neuroscience & mindfulness master. As a mindfulness and meditation expert, she has worked with the biggest companies in the country to help Type A people optimize their performance and slow down, through the power of mindfulness meditation.

In this interview, Valerie and Dorsey talk about the top three immediate benefits of practicing this type of meditation, how language has a powerful, calming effect in your routine and why you should stop glorifying that you're "so busy and stressed". Dorsey explains why the path to a healthier brain starts with ditching multi-tasking (hello 40% lost productivity), leaving your phone outside the bedroom and building your morning routine to reduce overwhelm and stress!

Key takeaways from this interview:
-Being stressed and busy has become society's status symbol and we need to change it.
-Give yourself permission to feel, to be and to let things come and go.
-Meditation is just like sports, it has different rules and you don't have to do 'them all'.
-Mindfulness and gratitude aren't about stopping but instead, about increasing our awareness on what's happening around us and taking our time to act on it.
-You can build morning routines little by little, and 'sandwich' them with other habits for extra effectiveness.
-You lose control of your day when you choose to check your phone first thing in the morning: other peoples' schedules now rule yours.
-"We're human beings, not human doings".
