Feeling stuck in the same money patterns you started 2025 with? Like you're going through the motions but not making real progress? You're not alone. This week I ran a special mid-year workshop for my Moneywise clients and waitlist members, and what happened was so powerful I had to bring it to the podcast.

You'll learn:

• How to identify the hidden money pattern that's been secretly running your financial life
• The December 2025 vision exercise that creates clarity instantly
• Why your money emotions matter more than your budget
• The ONE decision framework that bridges where you are to where you want to be
• How to turn "inevitable" financial progress instead of hoping and wishing

Instead of typical goal-setting that never sticks, this episode goes deep on rewriting the money stories that have been holding you back. If you've been spinning your wheels financially and want your second half of 2025 to feel completely different, this reset will show you exactly how to make it happen.

In this week's episode, I'm tackling those swirling questions about the economy that have been filling up my DMs lately.

If you've been wondering whether you should change your debt payoff plan because of those scary headlines, or if you're feeling that knot in your stomach every time you hear about inflation - I've got you.

I'm breaking down what all this economic noise actually means for your everyday money (spoiler: probably less than the news makes it seem), and sharing the simple 3-step framework I use with my clients to create clarity when everything feels uncertain.

No complicated jargon, no panic-inducing predictions - just practical guidance for real life. Because sometimes the most powerful money move is creating clarity amid the chaos.

"I make good money, so why do I feel sick every time I look at my credit card balance?"

⬆ This is the EXACT sentence I hear on repeat from my clients as a money coach. But here's the good news: That knot in your stomach when you check your accounts isn't because you're bad with money. It's likely that living a normal life somehow turned into a cycle of credit card dependency - but it doesn't have to stay that way.

I've supported my clients to reduce thousands of dollars of credit card debt on repeat for the last seven years. And I've condensed everything I've learned into my 30-day proven system.

Introducing the "Done With Debt 30-Day Bootcamp" - your complete guide to going from monthly payment panic to total financial confidence.

Each morning for 30 days, you'll receive a short, powerful video with exactly what to do that day, plus practical tools that make implementation easy.

In this episode, I'm sharing why this year feels like such an important moment to finally tackle credit card debt. I open up about my own journey of paying off $20,000 during the 2008 recession and how those lessons are surprisingly relevant to what we're facing today.

This isn't about spreadsheets or strict budgeting - it's about creating financial peace in your own life, regardless of what's happening in the broader economy. I'm sharing the exact freedom plan that not only worked for me during a recession but has now helped hundreds of my clients break free from debt too.

If you've ever felt that pit in your stomach when checking your credit card statement or wondered why those minimum payments never seem to make a difference, this episode is for you.
