I thought I figured out retirement when I was younger. Then I ran the numbers - and realized I was wrong.

This episode explores the shock of seeing my pension miscalculated and realizing how unprepared I was for the future. I share my journey of stress, rediscovering basic financial principles, and building new habits that are starting to give me peace of mind.

Takeaways for you:

-Don't wait until later-start saving now, even small amounts

-Tools like the 50/30/20 rule can simplify your budget

-Financial health, like fitness, is built in steps.

Easy resources for you to access:

Look up Dave Ramsey's content, podcast or radio show. The man has solid advice that works.

Look online for free budget calculators and retirement planners.

Put away something this week - even if its just $20, heck $5. Momentum builds over time.

An unscripted look at why I am doing this journey and broadcasting it.

I'll talk with you about why I'm doing this, at least touch on it and the changes that I hope we can make.

Gains are small and manageable

Anyone can do this

We all have that inner strength, we just need some help to see it

When you look in the mirror? Realize that you are the best version of yourself today that you have ever been, and tomorrow you can be even better.

For years, people called me lazy. The truth? I wasn't lazy - I was carrying wounds no one else could see.

This episode goes deeper into the voice of shame and negativity that many of us carry. I reflect on therapy, inner critics, and the strength it takes to stop believing lies others have planted in your head.

Takeaways:

Negative voices aren't always yours - they're learned

Healing takes time, and progress is slow, but still real

Protect yourself from toxic people, don't let them define you.

This week notice when that negative voice shows up. Write it down, and answer it back with one truth about your value.

On this journey it takes time, so keep on taking one more step....

In this episode I am going to talk about meal prep.

How I started it, poorly, but it was a start.

What I went through with COVID and how that changed everything about how I ate and then what I slowly learned over time.

It's amazing what you can do with an internet connection and the desire to do, or eat better.

We have a ton of options out there and I still have only touched on what can be done with a bit of effort.

So for now? Let's Goooooo!!!!!!!!!

In episode two I talk a bit about my initial start. How those false starts led me to start to see the real me. Those changes would not have led to anything if everything hadn't changed thanks to the big C in March 2020. We survived that and change became rapid.

Please note that we are still covering the backstory.

Change takes time.

Welcome to the very first episode of One More Step! This is where it all begins. I share how a few quiet moments, a small room, and a simple walk changed everythingg for me. This episode is about hitting pause on the chaos, taking an honest look at my life, and finding that first small step forward. If you've ever felt stuck, tired, or unsure where to start - this one's for you.
