In this solo episode I discuss the importance of starting within ourselves when it comes to our life and financial journeys. Challenging the dreams and goals we’ve created or wish to create is the first and most vital part of being intentional with designing a life you want to live.

While numbers are certainly important, at the end of the day, they aren’t what truly matters. If you’re looking for actionable ways to map out the life you want to live, give this episode a listen.

In this episode I discuss:

2 Exercises to narrow down what you want your life to look like
Why the why is more important than the financial numbers
The importance of finding what makes you happy now
How living without self-judgment and shame can elevate your life + more
