The Overcoming Overspending Podcast

This week on The Money Love Podcast I am walking you through one of my absolute favorite financial tools to curb impulse shopping and overspending which is a "Things I want to buy" list: a running list of purchases that you currently are thinking about pulling the trigger on but haven't yet.

Now I know you might be thinking…"What's the big deal? It's just a list of stuff." But let me tell you it's SO much more than that. My "Things I want to buy" list has saved me THOUSANDS of dollars over the years and has stopped me from making countless impulse purchases.

There is some BIG magic behind this powerful list and I'm giving you all the details in this value-packed episode where you will learn how to set up your "Things I want to buy" list and what to include on it, why this tool is so effective in helping you stop impulse shopping, how this tool will make you a more disciplined person with your spending habits, and a couple of current items that are on my own personal "Things I want to buy" list. This tool has been an absolute game-changer for my consumption habits and bank account and I'm excited to share it with you this week. Enjoy!

You know you're not happy with the financial results you're creating. You can see that you're not making any forward progress (and perhaps even moving backward). You're aware you've developed some unhealthy habits when it comes to the management of your finances but you're still able to check a lot of the financial to-do boxes each month like not spending more than you make and being able to pay off your credit cards in full. Even so, you still feel like you're falling short of your financial potential and you know you could be doing much better than you are. You know things could be much better than they are, but when do you know that your spending habits are becoming a problem?

In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast Paige is answering one of the most common questions she gets which is "Do I have a spending problem?". She's breaking down how to tell the difference between an income problem and a spending problem, why having a high income isn't a guarantee of financial success, why many people who have a spending problem think that they don't, and the five most common red flags that she see's of people who have a spending problem that you might see in yourself. This episode will be one that will undoubtedly stretch and challenge you, but always with the end goal of helping you progress along your financial journey. Enjoy!

Are you in a season of sacrifice? If so, you're not going to want to miss this week's episode of the podcast where we are talking all about financial sacrifices and why they are something that should be embraced and welcomed rather than dreaded. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that financial success looks like unlimited overflow and being able to do whatever we want, whenever we want without ever having to say "no". But what we fail to remember is that any worthy result that has ever been created has required a certain level of sacrifice. When we come to this realization, we can see that sacrifices are not something that move us farther away from what we want, but rather move us closer to our truest desires. The financial sacrifices that we make never lead to less, but ultimately, always result in us having more.

This week on The Money Love Podcast I am bringing you into a coaching request I received from an Overcoming Overspending student who is in a season of financial sacrifice. I am extending the coaching that I provided to her to you so that those of you going through the same thing can benefit from her request. We cover what financial sacrifices are and the point at which we realize they are necessary, why we have been programmed to have so much resistance to making financial sacrifices, why making financial sacrifices is something that should be embraced rather than avoided and lastly, how to make financial sacrifices from an abundance mindset and detach the tradeoffs from our morality. This episode is one that will have you thinking about the financial sacrifices we all have to make to reach our full financial potential in an entirely new way. Enjoy!

On average you think 60,000 thoughts every day. Although many of these thoughts are subconscious and go unnoticed, your mind is still a place that can become weighed down with thoughts that we hoard that don't help us create the results that we want. With so much mental chatter we feel pulled in a million different directions and oftentimes we end our days feeling like we're running on autopilot instead of consciously planning our futures. Imagine what it would be like if your brain was filled with very carefully chosen thoughts that are beautiful, that feel good, and that serve you and your bank account. When you clean out your mind and make your internal organization a priority your mind becomes a place of purpose which creates amazing ripple effects in your finances and external environment. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.

This week on The Money Love Podcast we are wrapping up our 3-week series on decluttering and organizing by talking about the life-changing concept of internal organization, which is the process of cleaning out and organizing your thoughts so that your mind feels clear, effective, and energized. It's taking a look at your thoughts and asking "What do you need to let go of? What am I thinking that is outdated and no longer useful? What do I not want to think about anymore? What needs to go? What do I want to fill my mind with instead? What do I want to use my mind power to create?". We talk about why internal organization is important, how it impacts your external organization, and I share with you 5 tools and practices that you can use to create a mind that is clean, organized, and intentional. Enjoy!

When you think about the cleanliness and clarity of your finances what comes to mind? Does it feel like your finances are in a frenzy, or do your finances feel purposeful and intentional? Is your money (in both physical and electronic forms) organized or are your finances scattered across various accounts and channels that feel messy and chaotic? The truth is, we all have a relationship with our money and the level to which your finances are clear and organized is a direct correlation to the health, vitality and intimacy of that relationship. Your money is a resource that you use for self expression and to create the life that you want, so it's a resource that should receive attention and respect from you in the form of keeping it clear and organized.

This week on The Money Love Podcast we are continuing our organization and decluttering series by talking about why you should spend the time and energy organizing your finances and how to best tackle that process. I share with you the connection between clutter in your external world and clutter within your finances, how your finances being disorganized is impacting your bank account, the four areas that you need to organize to achieve high levels of financial organization and I'm also giving away a special freebie to take your financial organization to the next level (link to download is below). If you're feeling like your finances are in a frenzy and could use a good clean up, you're not going to want to miss this episode. Enjoy!

When you look at your external world and the things that fill it up does it align with who you are and what you desire most? Is there alignment there? Or does your environment feel heavy, cluttered, and disorganized and you find yourself asking "Why do I have this?" "What is this doing for me?" "What did I even buy this for?" We live in a culture obsessed with stuff and with acquisition and we've reached a tipping point where our physical possessions have become more suffocating than liberating. At a certain point, our clutter starts to cost us in more ways than one and we reach a point where the things that we consume end up consuming us. We become more concerned with numbing ourselves out with stuff rather than living conscious lives.

This week on The Money Love Podcast we are diving into the topic of clutter in your external environment and what it's ultimately costing you. We discuss the connection between the clutter in your external world and your finances and why it matters to inhabit a space that is clean and purposeful, why we acquire so much clutter and what makes parting with it so difficult, the 4 questions you can ask to evaluate if you should keep something or purge something, and how you can declutter your environment in a way that is easy and doable. If it feels like your external environment is starting to impact your mindset, mood and finances this is an episode you certainly won't want to miss. Enjoy!

There's a lot going on in the world right now that is impacting the bottom lines of our budget and wallets and many of us are losing money. We're spending more than we're used to spending (hello inflation). We're seeing red within our investment accounts (oh hey bear market). We're experiencing supply chain issues, a war in Ukraine, and we're still recovering from the effects of a two year long global pandemic. Although the external circumstances in our world feel like a roller coaster, your mental and emotional experience during this time doesn't have to be. Many default to stress, worry, and anxiety becuase they think it's the only option available to them during challenging times. But the most turbulant times can be our greatest teachers and our biggest opportunities for growth and this episode will show you how to take advantage of the gift we've been given through down times.

This week on The Money Love Podcast we are diving into the topic of losing money and how you can manage your mind during challenging times. We talk about why our brains are hardwired to avoid loss and why losing money is so mentally uncomfortable to us. I share with you the 3 constructs that many people believe that make the loss of financial resources more painful than it needs to be. I show you how to direct your energy and attention to the things that remain untouched by the level of your financial resources. And lastly, I remind you of the life-changing principal of where money really comes from and why if you lost all your money and possessions (worst-case scenario) you could go out and make more.
