Feel like you're behind in life?

Often times we get so lost in the timelines set before us that we forget to actually live life for ourselves. This episode breaks down the outdated timelines and generational financial curses that hold us back. Whether you're in your 30s, 40s or starting over, it's not too late to take control of your life, rewrite your story and live on your own timeline. Let's shift your mindset - and your money moves - together.

I challenge you to ask yourself, whose timeline are you on?

We've officially made 6 months!!! Let's Go!!

In this episode, I share the hurdles that I had to overcome in order to launch this podcast. What was just an idea finally turned into reality. However, it took months before the podcast was finally born and the overwhelming support that came through, let me know that I had nothing to worry about. I was just in my own way.

Often times, we're too stubborn to admit that we don't know everything and that there are people out there who are experts. We tend to operate out of fear of failure or shame and that can stop us from finally getting ahead in life. When COVID hit, I realized that life is too short. Life is too short to be stubborn and life is too short to be in the same place. So, if you know anyone who is stuck, tell them to get out of their own way. LET'S GO!!!

"When you have access to people who are doing big things, who are wanting more for themselves and being able to pour into others, that's the type of people you want to be around. Because in turn it's going to uplift you and be able to make you feel capable of so much more."

In this episode, I branch off of the quote from motivational speaker, Jim Rohn. However, it's not just the average 5 people that you spend the most time with but, also the people they spend time with and so on. So even people you haven't met yet will have some type of influence over you. How does this affect my finances? Well funny you ask. If you don't have a strong healthy relationship with money or a management system in place, you'll most likely pick up on their spending habits, their perspective and their beliefs. So choose wisely.

I encourage you to audit the people you spend time with, create boundaries if necessary and attract the people you aspire to be so you can accomplish so much more.

Let's GO!!!

The parallels between your finances and your fitness journey are unmatched.

In this episode, I explore the parallels between the two in hopes of shedding light on existing habits that could contribute to your overall financial health. If we take a step back and realize that investing in your financial growth doesn't have to be as intimidating then we take back the control and actually feel motivated to do what needs to get done. There are similarities in different aspects of our life that could help encourage you take your finances more seriously. We invest so much time, money and energy into different parts of our life yet, we fail to invest the same into our finances. It's time to improve our overall financial health!

Let's GO!!!

My first and longest job is being the big sister. It's the title I'll hold for the rest of my life and with that comes the pressures of being the oldest.

In this episode, I get real vulnerable in sharing my thoughts on what it's like being the oldest and how it's shaped my financial decisions. I dive deep into understanding the different emotions you attach to the word finance and how it can either help or hinder your journey. If we take the time to dissect why we do what we do, we can better understand our relationship with money.

Firstborn is one of my favorite F letter words.

"We gotta figure out how and why our relationship with money is the way it is"

In this episode, I share the benefits of being financially self-aware so you can ultimately make better financial decisions. It's important to start the conversations within your household or with your partner/spouse and set your intentions. Becoming self-aware starts with you. It starts by knowing your relationship with money. It starts with having the hard conversations instead of turning a blind eye. It starts with making the necessary changes. Having a purpose higher than you in regards to your budgets will make all the difference and continue to motivate you past internal obstacles. I challenge you to become financially self-aware. Know what's happening in your accounts at all times so you can be proactive instead of reactive.

Summer is officially here! It's time to Say The F Word!

"Apparently 36% of people who plan to travel are willing to go into debt just to pay for their vacation and this debt can include carrying a balance on their credit cards, taking out personal loans, doing the buy now, pay later option. But, what I found most interesting is that a staggering 65% of U.S. adults are opting to not vacation for the summer because they can't afford. This is a great example of saying NO."

Vision without action is a daydream and action without vision is a nightmare.

"It's this pressure that we place on ourselves depending on what birth order you're in."

In this episode, I share my experience with being the firstborn and the financial pressures attached to it. I dive into a financial decision that I made and the urgency to do so as the oldest. Understanding how your birth order has an impact on your financial decisions can make all the difference in knowing why you do what you do. This topic is underdeveloped and is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to peeling back the layers. Each family dynamic is completely different and this may not apply to everyone however, it's worth noting that to some degree this may exist. The goal, always, is to continue saying the F word and this is just one of the ways.

"You can't open new doors with the same keys so be willing to have the hard conversations about budgeting, be willing to make temporary sacrifices so you can build a successful life together if that means buying your first or second home, taking your first family trip or finally going on your honeymoon trip after all these years. Whatever it may be just know that having a budget can get you there."

In this episode, I emphasize the importance of spending quality time on a budget. Spending time with your partner/spouse doesn't have to be expensive especially if it doesn't fit your goals. Michelle and I truly value quality time and make it a priority to budget so we can enjoy life together. Budgeting doesn't have to be an awkward conversation or an uncomfortable topic. Normalizing conversations around budgeting can empower you to make big money moves and afford the life you want to live. I challenge you to spend quality time on a budget, whatever that looks like for you.

Let's GO!!!
