  • An Abundant Mindset - an Interview with coach Heather Picard
    This Lady Money episode is about creating a more abundant money mindset. Money Coach, Heather Picard and I discuss what a successful money mindset is and how women can turn a tendency to stress over scarcity into the ability to take financial control and the ultimate goal – life balance and a strong sense of wellbeing.
    • Confidence --We delve into the role lack of confidence has in reinforcing a negative money mindset and keeping women from taking action to improve their financial situation.
    • Money Attitudes – We talk about how survival instincts can sabotage women’s ability to live their lives in joy and abundance.
    • Social Change – We conclude money surprisingly has a powerful connection to the ability of women to make a real difference in the world.

  • Tips in Ten - Achieving Financial Security
    The definition of financial security is “the peace of mind you feel when you aren't worried about covering your basic expenses, unexpected emergencies or your future financial goals”. And in my experience, the blueprint for achieving financial security is a combination of financial planning and financial control. Here are a few tips:
    • Live happily within your means
    • Take full financial control
    • Align your values with your money
    • Address end-of-life planning
    • Talk about money
    Ignoring money or mistaking it for a status symbol or a substitute for personal identity will create a vicious cycle. Either way it will feel like there is never enough.

  • Tips in Ten - Common Money Mistakes
    Women have been programmed to think they aren’t good with money. So, we end up in a – I have to, but I can’t – destructive mental loop. Here are some common financial mistakes women make:
    • Lack of long-term planning
    • Focusing on the numbers rather than goals
    • Underestimating other kinds of risk
    • Not recognizing the power of a budget
    • Investing too conservatively
    Setting goals, creating a plan, and allowing for inevitable contingencies is a better recipe for success.

  • Tips in Ten - Achieving Your Full Potential
    There’s a definition of potential that I really like – existing in possibility. But most of us don’t live that way. There’s a huge social pressure to conform and you have other obstacles to clear before you can even think about the possibilities. So, reaching your full potential isn’t easy! But step-by-step, with a positive attitude and a growth mindset you can do it. And the rewards are enormous. I view reaching your full potential as a well-rounded state. Having financial control, life balance and adequate attention to your physical and mental health sets the stage for exploring all your amazing possibilities.

  • Tips in Ten - Know Your Financial Situation
    The term I used as an advisor when I presented a financial snapshot was someone’s current financial situation. In a recent podcast interview on Financial Literacy my guest referred to this as “knowing where you stand”. Regardless of what you call it, it is difficult to make good decisions or reach your goals without some basic knowledge of your financial big picture.

  • Tips in Ten - Financial Literacy equals Security
    Money is a dilemma, isn’t it?! We weren’t taught about it in school. It isn’t a polite discussion topic. And historically it is supposed to be firmly in the male domain. What’s a woman to do! Well – smart women break the “rules”.
    Self-preservation can come down to learning the basics as well as getting a firm handle on your own financial situation now rather than in the middle of a crisis. If this sounds daunting it doesn’t have to be.

What is a good process for helping you see your financial “big picture”? I think you will find Reesa’s insights valuable and enjoy her inspiring story!
