Start Here: How to Get on Top of Your Finances When You've Been Avoiding It for Years

💬 Podcast Description:
If you've spent years avoiding your finances—feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure where to even begin—this episode is for you. In response to a heartfelt DM from a listener who's spent the last 20 years dodging financial stress and is finally ready to make a change, we’re diving into how to take those first empowering steps toward financial clarity and control.

Whether your income is irregular, your expenses unpredictable, or your mindset frozen by fear, I share a gentle but practical plan to get started. We explore how to set up a flexible but functional budget, how to smooth out inconsistent income using my drip-feed strategy, how to set achievable goals, and how to begin building a more secure financial future—even if you're starting later in life.

Plus, I talk about:

• Reclaiming your confidence after past mistakes

• Creating financial stability when your partner’s income is sporadic

• Setting personal and retirement goals at age 52 and beyond

• Why it’s never too late to get better with money

This episode is filled with encouragement, step-by-step guidance, and a reminder that hope is a strategy—when paired with action.

📌 Whether you're barely getting by or just unsure how to build momentum, this is your starting point.
