100: Build a wardrobe you love using what you already have with Christina Mychas of Minimalist-ish Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

If you're struggling to build a wardrobe that feels like "you" or you have a closet bursting at the seams but still have "nothing to wear" then this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast is for you. I'm chatting with Christina Mychas, a Youtuber and entreprenuer who helps women transform their relationship with their style, shopping, and who believes that the best place to start when building your dream wardrobe is with what you already have.

In this value-packed episode we talk about Chritina's personal journey from being a shopping addict with $120,000 of student loan debt to becoming a minimalist(ish), how to do a no-buy challenge in a way that doesn't feel like a punishment but rather unveils the beauty of what you already own, Christina's tips to ensure you invest in wardrobe purchases you love and have longevity, what a capsule wardrobe is and how to build one using clothing pieces you already own, and what minimalist-ish means and how you can approach minimalism and make it your own. Enjoy!

About Christina: Christina Mychas is a Youtuber, entrepreneur, and pharmacist who explores emotional spending and self-development through a branch of minimalism she calls Minimalist-ishTM. A former shopaholic with over $120,000 in student loan debt, Christina realized she needed to change her emotional spending habits, and face the financial mess she always felt stuck in. Using principles of minimalism and radical self honesty, Christina was able to pay off all her debt in less than 6 years, and change her spending habits from impulsive to intentional. She is now working to help women heal their relationships with their shopping and their stuff to build the life they want.

98: The 7 types of spending that harm your finances Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

Spending is a skill, which means that it's something that we can practice to get better at over time. It also means that we can be a good spender if we have mastered the skill of spending, or a not so good spender if we haven't. The truth is that many of us don't realize spending is a skill, so we never try to get better at it over time and we engage in spending that is impulsive, we spend money we don't have, we try to buy things with our money that cannot be bought, and we spend money in a way that harms our future financial well-being. These are the types of spending that harm our finances and take us farther away from the financial future we have a desire to build.

In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast we're breaking down the 7 types of spending that harm your finances. We walk through each one in detail, what it looks like, why you might be doing it, and how bringing awareness to this type of spending is the best first step which this episode will help you do.

96: Leave Your Financial "Good Girl" Behind with People-Pleasing Coach Sara Fisk Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

Want to know the one thing that is costing you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over your lifetime? It's when we abandon ourselves and our true desires, lie to the people that we love and aren't honest about what we really want, put the opinions of others before our own, say "yes" when we really want to be saying "no" or saying "no" when we really want to be saying "yes". This is people-pleasing, and it's one of the most costly and expensive behaviors that is sabotaging your long-term financial success.

This week on The Money Love Podcast I am talking with Sara Fisk, a certified Life Coach who helps her clients stop people-pleasing and leave their "good girl" mentality behind. By the end of this value-packed episode, you will know where our people-pleasing tendencies come from and why as women we are bigger people-pleasers than our male counterparts, the difference between the good and bad types of people-pleasing, the ways that people-pleasing is costing you in your life and finances, Sara's process to stop people-pleasing, and what you stand to gain (mentally, emotionally, and financially) when you stop people-pleasing. This will be an episode that will undoubtably inspire you to stop people pleasing for good. Enjoy!

95: Your Brain Is A Bully Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

We all have an inner mean girl inside of us that is keeping us small, stuck, and broke. Your inner mean girl is a bully because she tricks you into thinking that staying where you are is the safest bet. She tells you that your future potential is dictated by your past results and experiences. She lies to you and tells you what she knows you need to hear in order to act against your own financial well-being. She keeps you engaging in behaviors and habits that feel good in the moment but aren't beneficial for you long-term. Your brain is a bully, and it's time that we all confront our inner mean girl and bring her out into the light so she stops having so much power over us.

In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast, we are diving into your inner bully (aka your primitive brain) and how she is keeping you from reaching your full financial potential. By the end of this value-packed episode, you will know the main job of your brain and the 3 things it's always focused on to accomplish this job, the characteristics of your brain that are keeping you small, stuck, and broke, the types of distorted thinking that we do that holds us back from reaching our full financial potential and the one realization about my own "inner mean girl" that allowed me to silence her and stop giving her power over my daily life. This knowledge has been an absolute game-changer for my daily life and I'm excited to share it with you this week. Enjoy!

You know you're not happy with the financial results you're creating. You can see that you're not making any forward progress (and perhaps even moving backward). You're aware you've developed some unhealthy habits when it comes to the management of your finances but you're still able to check a lot of the financial to-do boxes each month like not spending more than you make and being able to pay off your credit cards in full. Even so, you still feel like you're falling short of your financial potential and you know you could be doing much better than you are. You know things could be much better than they are, but when do you know that your spending habits are becoming a problem?

In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast Paige is answering one of the most common questions she gets which is "Do I have a spending problem?". She's breaking down how to tell the difference between an income problem and a spending problem, why having a high income isn't a guarantee of financial success, why many people who have a spending problem think that they don't, and the five most common red flags that she see's of people who have a spending problem that you might see in yourself.
