  • Save More Money Without Cutting Back

    Deprivation and restriction are not a vibe when trying to hit your money goals. The only outcome of this will be a binge/restrict cycle, and you will be no closer to hitting your savings goal or paying off debt.

    But this is a way to choose not to spend money on things without it feeling deprivation.

    In this episode, I'm walking you through the tool of the 2-month experiment I teach my clients to help them prioritize their spending without feeling like they are cutting back.

  • Why you should switch banks + how to do it stress-free

    Everything in your financial ecocystem should feel like a f*ck yes...and that includes your bank(s).

    Your bank should not be charging you fees (including overdraft fees). Your bank should be paying you at least 4.3% interest in your savings account. Your bank shouldn't be holding any energy from a past relationship, debt, or season of life.

    Where you bank is important, and in this episode I'll walk you through step-by-step how to switch to a new one stress-free.

  • How to make financial decisions you're excited about (and not feel like you're cutting back)

    Every single decision you make means you are saying yes to something…and no to something else.

    No matter what financial decisions you make, there will always be something you are saying no to.

    But financial decisions get to feel wonderful and expansive when you focus on what you're saying YES to vs. what you are saying no to.

    Your money avoidance is coming from not wanting to take ownership of your decisions - you don't want to be the one to decide what your yes and no is.

    In this episode, I am going to teach you how to be excited about making financial decisions, and how to get back in the driver's seat of your money life.

  • Pay off your debt without hating the process: Debt Neutrality vs. Debt Apathy

    You don't have to wait until your debt is paid off to start feeling better about your money.

    Hating your debt and depriving yourself to pay it off faster is making it harder to pay off your debt.

    Debt neutrality is the active choice to feel remove the pressure from your debt payoff plan, which actually allows you to payoff the debt faster.

    This is also very different from debt APATHY, which is the passive avoidance of your debt (sometimes masquerading as debt neutrality).

    In this episode, I'm giving you tools to move into debt neutrality so you can pay off your debt with ease (and how to tell whether you're actually falling into apathy).

  • Making a Money Plan that isn't restrictive

    A huge part of having autonomy over your money is manging it when you still have CHOICES (i.e. not always playing cleanup crew with your financial decisons).

    Planning does not have to equal cutting back.

    Planning gives your freedom of choice.

    Planning does not have to lock you in (you are allowed to change your mind).

    Planning eliminates guilt when you spend money on fun shit.

    Planning does NOT mean budgeting 😘

    Tune in to hear how to create your own money plan for the upcoming months!
