From the wise words of Ms. Kylie Kristen Jenner, 2023 was really like the year of just realizing stuff. How did 2023 turn out for you? For me, last year was painful, it was uncomfortable. I grew a lot as a person both professionally and personally but for the most part, I look back at the year with not super fond memories due to all the unwelcomed change.

But don't worry friend, I’m not one to shy away from making lemons into lemonade. You best believe that I've wracked my brain to find some sort of lesson or take away from the crap shoot that was 2023.

And I'm sharing everything with you! No these realizations are not like your typical cliches, “if he wanted to he would...” Woof. I’m actually pretty proud of the insights I thunk up. 🧐🧠✨ So let’s start this new year off right. I hope what I learned in 2023 can help you as you navigate 2024.

Hop in friends, we are en route to sort out our finances with Deidre Cross, the driving force behind Ohh You Budget.

From the beginning, Deidre has been the trusted source for personal finance guidance among her friends. Yet, it wasn't an effortless journey. Armed with every debt you can think of, Deidre was determined to transform her financial situation. She set out on a mission to educate herself, making the journey from debt to wealth.

Today, Deidre shares her extensive knowledge and unwavering passion for budgeting, along with her personal financial journey, to empower others. She firmly believes that the key to financial wealth and freedom begins at ground zero, and that's with a budget.

If you find that you're increasingly dipping into your savings to pay off your credit card, if you’re constantly in overdraft and/or if you find you’re over spending month over month, you are not alone. Both myself and our budget expert have been there! In this episode, Deidre explains how she pulled herself out of $42k in debt with some help of glass jars, the envelope budgeting method and a whole lot of willpower.

This conversation with Deidre was the first time I’ve ever felt invigorated and like I was actually equipped with the right tools to tell my money where to go.

This episode is for anyone who places a lot of weight on their job and what they do for a living. The "career focused friends" if you will - listen up! There is such a thing as a stupid question in the workplace. And I know we've all asked one, if not many...

This is probably the biggest lesson I've learned in my career this far. Language is power and how we communicate with others contributes to our overall success. Asking stupid questions will continue to demonstrate your lack of soft skills and force your coworkers and boss to continue to view you as only junior level.

But good news, there are some simple and effective tools and tips (*cough cough* Google is indeed one them) on how to avoid asking stupid questions at work. Listen now!

I've noticed I'm going through yet another massive life transition. I've moved out from living with my roommate, moved in with my boyfriend, received a promotion at work and adopted a new puppy.

I think I've been so hyper-aware of all these changes lately because I've experienced so much change all through out my 20s. I'm finally realizing that change is constant...

Which is pretty ironic considering, I used to say to myself as a kid, "When I'm older, my life is going to be smooth sailing- I'll have everything figured out." Well what a load of crap that is, eh?

This toxic mindset has stuck with me as I've grown up and caused me to continuously question myself and feel like my life is so unstable when in reality this is the nature of growing up and becoming an adult.

In this episode, we're answering the question "Is it me!? Am I the problem for all these changes in my life." Which from this summary, I think you already know the answer to.

In episodes 06 and 12, I shared how for the majority of my life I’ve been the “single” girl. Sure, I dated a lot but none of those relationships developed into anything serious. And if you’re in the same boat with feeling like you’ve been single for your entire life, you’ll know that when you’ve dated what feels like half the planet, you learn what you don’t like quickly. So when I met Brendan and he had literally every quality I was looking for, it was a no-brainer that our relationship was going to be serious.

So cut to now where we have finally taken the leap of faith to move in together. In this episode, we discuss navigating the transition of moving in with a romantic partner and all the anxieties and feelings that come along with this.

Y'all I am tired... I'm stressed out and my energy levels are down in the dumps. But you know what I'm most tired of is feeling guilty or being perceived as "lazy" for not having as much energy as I used to.

In this episode, we’re looking into all the reasons why women are more likely to feel tired whether it's hormonal, societal and/or racial. And how we can reduce stress, and reject the perception that living a slower routine is actually NOT lazy.

We’re chatting with Amanda Pereira. A 29-year-old, single mom to a 3-year-old daughter.

In November of 2022, Amanda decided to try (for the 12,0984th time) to change her life and get her health back on track after years of living in survival mode.

I wanted to document the process through daily videos I would post online as I navigate the last year of my twenties.

In a very short time, thousands of other women related to the things Amanda was experiencing and she’s now grown her community to over 60 thousand followers on TikTok. This community has pushed Amanda to continue being open and honest about life and her struggles.

In this episode, we’re determining what it means to have a successful day and how that has changed for us over the years. Amanda shares her top tips for those struggling with binge eating and she notes how she imagined she’d be a “forever sad girl” and elaborates on how she’s changing that narrative.
