Success in personal finance is much more about behavior and mindset than the numbers. Though you should know your numbers too, there is a crucial link between your mental health + your financial health. This occurs when inner self-confidence + contentment becomes more important than outward validation from peers or society in general. Mix that self-confidence with persistence and you have the formula for a successful life.

As Lara Casey reminds us in the Spring Refresh of The Powersheets, “It’s a time of planting new seeds, blooming, + celebrating.” This is a season of new life yall so let’s take advantage of that!
I’m sharing my 5 ways to refresh your life in every aspect from your home, yourself, your money, + more!

There’s this movement of intentional living happening, and one of the awesome things that has carried over from this is a push for financial freedom. It has proved to be true that when you’re hyper-focused on one area of your life, it eventually carries over into all of the other areas too. This shows up in not only your budget, but always your marriage, parenting, + self-care.

In this episode, I sit down with Deedra Broodram from Slay This Debt to chat about our financial journeys, how it’s affected our motherhood, and how we know that we’re on the paths to becoming everyday millionaires.

Getting your kids on board with any lifestyle change can be challenging. Especially from the mother’s perspective…the mom guilt is so real! And because as the mother, you’re usually the one to lead or go first with a change in the family, we have to set the tone in a strong + positive way.

In this episode I’m going to share with you how keeping the lines communication open with your kids, how to speak words of abundance over them during this journey, how to make all of these changes fun, and most importantly…how to do this as a team!

The hardest part of getting started in budgeting is deciding how much to spend and how much to either save or pay towards debt. It’s the age-old question in the budgeting world…and you’ve probably wondered the same thing!

I think we all can relate to the struggle behind wanting to spend because hey, we’re only human, but yet wanting to save because we know that those big goals aren’t going to fund themselves. So, how do we balance this? How do we move forward with our financial goals without completely depriving ourselves of all fun?

In this episode I’m sharing my very best tips for finding balance, learning to shop guilt-free, prioritizing savings, and continuing to enjoy your life along the way.

Being able to travel more is one of the biggest motivators when it comes to getting your finances in order. You can ask almost anyone what’s on their bucket list and they’ll most likely mention international travel, adventures with loved ones, or relaxing on the beach. New experiences are one of the sweetest parts of life, but it does require at least a little bit of money!

In this episode I’m joined by Shelly Hawkins from The Eclectic Voyager to share all of her best advice + tips for traveling on a budget. Plus, she’ll also share some stories from her adventures, her favorite travel resources, + how she’s able to merge travel, photography, + personal finance into her blogs.

Paying cash for large purchases like cars, trucks, boat, + campers used to seem like something only “rich” people did…not average young families like ours. But, I’ve learned throughout the past few years that’s it’s actually completely possible! In fact, we recently made our 4th large purchase last Fall when we cash-flowed a 5th wheel camper, and added it to our family of other cash-flowed items: a boat, a Suburban, + a diesel truck.

The freedom + empowerment that we’ve felt through being able to make these purchases without a loan have been significant milestones in our family’s journey. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly HOW we’ve been able to do this + all of the reasons behind WHY we’ve done it!
