This week's episode continues the journey into truly proclaiming that we are not our money.

It starts with me sharing some thoughts on the uncomfortable topic of suicide, depression, and hopelessness, especially as it relates to financial stress... something I know all too well these days!

Then, we jump over to Nicole Amos, career coach and LinkedIn master. Nicole's journey starts in the "projects" of Atlanta, watching reruns on PBS Masterpiece and dreaming of her own life of luxury, British butlers and all! I don't want to spoil a thing, but know that her journey takes just about every financial twist and turn you can imagine, and yet she never lets herself be defined by her circumstances.

Nicole is the living proof that if you want something in life, all you need to do is ask for it! 

 

Happy listening, and don't forget to share!

Oh boy! Just when I think I can't overshare any more, I go and build out a budget live on-air, with real numbers and everything.

With the support of Tamara Simmons, I share both my journey into entrepreneurship and realizing that I might need to learn a thing or two about managing money, to building a budget, and much to my own surprise, sharing publicly the amount of debt I currently have, yikes!

I want to throw up just thinking about it. But, as we explore in this episode, YOU ARE NOT YOUR MONEY!

Happy listening, and don't forget to share!
