This was a discussion I had with "Maz" from Life FM  late last week and we were talking about planning and goal setting for the new year.

So I thought I would share the conversation with you - please feel free to comment or send me an email and if there is a financial topic that you would like us to discuss on the radio - I will be heading into the studio again very soon - we usually put out a chat Friday fortnightly - so listen in to Life FM for our next chat on Friday 13th February around 3.30pm

Happy New Year and welcome to 2026!

As is so often true at the beginning of a new year, we often turn our thoughts to thinking about what we would like to achieve this year. In this episode Chris talks about the importance of planning and how to plan.

She goes through the 6 steps to change which you can also view on Coach Chris TV here and gives you both practical and knowledgeable insight into how to plan and to change.

Please feel free to direct your comments or questions to [email protected] and she will have a chat with you there.

Happy Planning!

In this episode we discuss one result of bad stewardship. Have you ever signed one of those extremely long online agreements that entice you with "I Agree" and it seems to be the easy option to just tick the box and not bother to read the thousands of words that you are agreeing to?

Well I did just that and it came back to bite me in the proverbial - so listen in and you may be surprised about how easy it is to get caught out - which definitely is not good stewardship!

Last Friday, Maz and I had a great conversation about Stewardship - what is it and the "How To's" of stewardship. We went down a few rabbit holes so that the episode needed to be split in two parts but here it is for you to listen to all in one go. I had some great feedback from that segment so I thought I would upload it to my podcast!

Let me know what you think and email any questions or comments to [email protected]

If you have been a faithful follower of Straight talk about money with Coach Chris - thank you. I hope that you have enjoyed our last 100 episodes!!!!

Now it's time for a change. I have noticed that the majority of my following has come from the Christian community who really want to know how to manage or steward their money from a biblical perspective. So Planning Stewardship & Generosity is the much asked for podcast.

In this episode we make the transition explaining why and what the new look podcast will be about. I hope you enjoy the changes.

Let me know what you think!

We continue our conversation on savings tips in this "Part 2 " of my conversation with Maz on 1079 life FM radio

Hope you enjoy it and please let me know if there is a financial topic you would like us to discuss on the radio spot
