The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women

You know I love a good money conversation. Money holds a lot of energy which can be expansive or restrictive. And the space in between is the tricky part.
How do you expand when there are debts to be paid? How can you grow when you feel weighed down by your financial past?
Today, we’re talking with the CEO of FinanciALLI Focused about how you can pay off debt, save, and spend, all at the same time.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

Where to start if money feels overwhelming or unattainable
The common issues around money: guilt, fear & shame
The 4 steps to take back control of your finances, pay off debt, and start saving (or spending) without guilt or shame
How to prepare yourself for unexpected expenses
Where to start paying off your debt

FinanciALLI Focused is a financial literacy company helping people to create a flexible financial plan they can actually stick to (no deprivation here). Alli paid off over six figures of debt while still saving, investing, and buying season football tickets. Alli has helped hundreds of people pay off debt, build savings, spend on what they value, invest, and feel confident about their finances.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode

“Money gets to be easy. It doesn't have to be this overly complicated thing. You just need to figure out a plan that works for you and your goals and what you value.”
“If you're sick of being stuck and you want change, you have to take that first step, and it might be scary, but I promise you, it is so worth it.”
“If you budget for things [...] there are no surprises. One thing that always comes up is “unexpected expenses.” And I truly believe most things in life are not unexpected; you're just not prepared for them.”
“I don't want to owe anyone more than I have to.”
“You have to really look at your specific situation, your specific numbers, and then create a plan that works for you.”
“It is very possible to be able to spend money and feel good about it.”

Powerback 130: Undoing Your Resistance to Structure

Today, we're talking about resistance to STRUCTURE. And here's what that looks like... You want to get ahead, you want to plan, and you want things to work in your favor. However, you may be fighting the very things that could help you accomplish all that.
I’m talking about things like systems, processes, planning, structure, and automation.
All these – what I like to call ‘masculine energy tools’ – will help you become more efficient in your business. And trust me when I say this, they will provide you with the time and space you need to really be creative again.
- But why do we resist these things in the first place?
- And how do we undo this resistance?
That’s what this week’s Powerback® is all about.Resources from this episode

Powerback 131: Undoing Hiding from your money

The number one thing that I hear when I start talking about money with clients is FEAR. If we look at our numbers, then we have to swallow the pill, look at all the decisions we’ve made, see how much debt we have, and how much income we’re not actually making.
But here’s the thing, while looking away may give you temporary comfort, it has stripped away every ounce of your financial power.
So, let’s get your Powerback in this episode. How about going on a money date with yourself? Sounds interesting? Then cozy up and join me in this conversation.
