Many people feel financially anxious or stressed out because they feel they won’t have enough money to live a financially secure life. 

They worry they will ‘run out of money’. 

And that’s why so many are on the treadmill to earn more.

Of course, we all need money to take care of our most basic needs like food, shelter, clothing and safety.

But beyond that, what does enough mean to you?

I’ve often let my vague and general idea of how much would make me feel comfortable remain exactly that - vague and general.

Well, vague and general is your recipe for creating financial anxiety, insecurity and stress in your life.

Take the time to work exactly what enough looks like for you and what concrete actions you’re taking to get there.

Listen to this week’s episode where I walk you through the steps of how to do this.

I also share how you can work with me if you want me to coach you through this so that you can create financial calm, confidence and certainty in your life.

In this episode, I share the key things you can do to figure out how to know you’re doing the right thing with your money. 

If you’ve been following me, you’ll know that I go beyond typical financial advice that I don’t feel helps us address and overcome our financial anxieties and worries. 

In addition to your usual financial advice, I talk about how you can use practical strategies to help you identify your financial flashpoints, what conclusions or money stories those financial flashpoints led you to make early in your childhood but drive so much of your financial behaviours and habits in adulthood that you may not even be aware of.

I share my perspective and why I don’t think you really need that huge emergency savings that you’ve often been told if you manage your money right. This in itself relieves you of the anxiety that comes from not knowing what to expect and what curveball is coming around the corner of life - and we all have those!

Finally, I share more about my upcoming pilot program, ‘Stop Money Stress’, and how you can be part of my team of Founding Members where I’ll give you the step-by-step framework I’ve used and still use daily to become financially, calm, confident and certain.

I also mention the tool I love and use to help me manage my money, including my needs, wants, and emotions around money. I don’t get anything for it and I’m recommending it because I really love it and I trust the creator of the tool, Karen McCall, who is a money coach and someone I personally know and have interviewed on the show too!

If you want to be a master of your money, then the first thing to do is to be more self-aware.

Self-awareness, which is being conscious of your thoughts and feelings, sounds simple, yet, many of us go through life not being very self-aware, especially during times of stress and anxiety.
 
Something happens that frightens us or hurts us, and we immediately act according to how we feel. When we don't create a space in the nanosecond of these stressful events happening and instead unconsciously and automatically act based on how we feel about that situation, then it often leads to disempowering, unproductive results.
 
This is the same with our money when we get stressed out financially. Yet, conventional financial advice tells us to use our rational minds, and not 'get emotional' when it comes to money. I've often found that advice to be hard to implement in real life, because let's face it, money is a completely emotional issue!

In this episode, I share what practical actions you can take to start getting self-aware about your money. This is the crucial first step you must take to experience financial calm, confidence and certainty in your life!

In my new course, Stop Money Stress, I teach you how to be more self-aware as it relates to your money so that you can take practical actions that combine both your emotions and your rational mind to create concrete steps to help you reach your financial goals, while remaining calm, confident and certain, rather than get completely stressed out!

Monica Louie is a Facebook and Instagram Ads strategist and helps ambitious online entrepreneurs increase their impact with high-converting ads. Facebook and Instagram Ads wasn’t where Monica first started though. Monica made the switch from corporate employee in financial services to entrepreneur because of her desire to spend more time with her kids while making money so that she could continue to contribute to the family income. 

We talk about her journey from corporate employee, to personal finance blogger and finally to what she does with passion today. Along the way, she and her husband also paid off $120,000 of debt in 2 short years on a single, middle-class income!

Monica’ story is inspiring on so many levels that I could relate with as I’m sure you will too. 

Key Takeaways from this episode:

• The steps towards reaching your dreams and desires aren't always all laid out in front of you before you take the first step. It’s the twists, turns, detours, backtracks that are the necessary steps to take towards them. Keep trying and have faith it will work out.
• It’s possible to be a sought after expert in a space where you could be a beginner in now. Monica never saw herself as a Facebook & Instagram Ad expert back when she was thinking about starting her own business. It was paying attention to the feedback from other people she was getting and the results she was seeing that led her there.
• Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there to tell people what you do and how you help.
• How Facebook Ads can help you grow your business and the common questions Monica gets about Facebook Ads.
• And so much more!

Join me for the second part of this 2-part series where I share how overcoming my personal struggles with financial anxiety led me to a 3-Step Process that I used daily now to reinvent myself from a chronic money worrier to someone who makes money doing something she loves. When you stop resisting your reality and wishing things were different, you allow more space and positive energy to come into your life. This ironically is the very thing that will enable you to get what you want. Yet, staying in that anxious, worrying, complaining, negative energy is precisely the thing blocking all the things you want from entering your life.
