Childfree Wealth®

Do you have head trash holding you back? Those pesky mental hurdles can hold us back from reaching our full potential. With humor and candor, Bri & Dr. Jay explore how our own stories and ingrained beliefs can become roadblocks on the path to success.

Dr. Jay kicks off the discussion by likening head trash to unwanted clutter in our minds, obstructing our progress. Together, they dissect the origins of these mental barriers, uncovering how societal norms, personal experiences, and even offhand comments can shape our perceptions of ourselves and our capabilities.

Bri bravely admits that exploring head trash can be painful but necessary, highlighting the importance of facing these internal obstacles head-on. Dr. Jay shares anecdotes and examples, illustrating how seemingly innocuous remarks or societal expectations can plant seeds of doubt that hinder our growth.

With a blend of empathy and empowerment, they encourage listeners to challenge the voices in their heads and rewrite their narratives. By shining a light on the sources of our head trash, Dr. Jay and Bri empower us to break free from self-imposed limitations and forge our own paths to success and fulfillment. So, buckle up and get ready to declutter your mind as they guide you through the journey of unraveling your head trash!

​​The Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Bri Conn and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, is a financial and lifestyle podcast that explores the unique perspectives and concerns of childfree individuals and couples. In this episode, Bri & Dr. Jay discuss the concept of forced adulting.

The concept of forced adulting came from a client. As Dr. Jay walked through the financial planning process with them, they referred to it as forced adulting. Simply put, it’s accountability in getting done the things you need to do. When working with clients, each month we focus on one or two things allowing clients to complete tasks without feeling too overwhelmed. While these tasks can be completed on your own, sometimes it’s easier to have professional help to answer questions & provide accountability.
