How to Make the Next 5 Years the Best of Your Life (and Bank Account) with Catherine Collins Dec 26, 2024

Show notes

What if the next five years could be the best of your life—including your bank account—but only if you stop winging it and actually make a plan?

Let’s face it: most of us spend more time planning a vacation than we do mapping out our future. But what if 2025 could be the year you crush your money goals and start creating a life you’re obsessed with? Today, I’m hanging with the amazing Catherine Collins, and we’re spilling the tea on why a five-year plan isn’t just some boring concept—it’s the ultimate tool to take control of your finances, your purpose, and your life.

In this episode, Catherine shares her game-changing method for creating a five-year plan that actually works. Even as a skeptic, I was blown away by how simple yet transformative her approach is. We’ll dive into:

Why most five-year plans fail and how to create one that sticks.
How to ditch limiting beliefs and stop self-sabotaging your success.
Mindset shifts that will have you crushing your money goals.
Step-by-step tips to build a roadmap for your dream life without the overwhelm.

This isn’t just a feel-good episode—it’s your opportunity to hit pause, map out your next five years, and start making decisions your future self will thank you for. I can’t think of a better way to round out the year and set the stage for 2025.

Unlocking the Secrets of Your Financial DNA with Elizabeth Husserl Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

What if the way you think about money isn’t really your fault?

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Husserl, author of The Power of Enough, to unravel the concept of financial DNA—the inherited beliefs, patterns, and habits that shape your relationship with money. Together, we break down why the traditional “abundance vs. scarcity” mindset is outdated and how redefining wealth beyond material possessions can change everything.

Elizabeth introduces practical tools like the Wealth Mandala and Satiation Journal to help you go beyond the numbers and connect with wealth in a way that feels emotional, visceral, and empowering. We’ll also talk about the power of self-compassion, grieving old money stories, and why physical movement might be the missing link in your financial wellness journey.
