160. A "Sunday reset" for your money

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Hi friends!
One of the big pieces to the puzzle of making a budget that will work for the long haul is making it part of your routine.  
That's why once a week I sit down and do a "Sunday reset" for my money and in this episode I break down how I do it so you can start incorporating this into your own budgeting and debt payoff journey.
Love and belief!

159. New jobs, job losses and big transitions. Adjusting your finances through change

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Hi friends!
I recently started a part time job and because of this change, we're changing up our budget a little bit.  If you're in a similar season of transitions, it might be time to revisit your plan or goals. 
Or maybe you're going through a job loss or something similar that feels like it's not within your control but still affects your finances.  
If that is you then today's episode is especially for you.  Don't lose hope.  We can change the date but not the goal.
Love and belief!

158. Are "emergency expenses" popping up every month and derailing your progress? One tool that can help

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Can you relate to this?
You're moving along with the budget you created and then boom... back to school hits you with a bunch of extra expenses.  
So you get your bearings and get back on track and then, boom.... your kid's birthday comes and it takes you off track again.  
In our minds we think of these as emergencies but really, they're just expenses that aren't your typical day-to-day expenses.  There is a tool you can implement to better plan for these things before they happen and in today's episode we're going to talk all about it.  
I hope to see you in the MMM Club next month! :)

157. Monetizing your gifts. Should you start a business or side hustle RIGHT NOW to make extra money?

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Hi friends!
Today's episode was inspired by a Tik Tok I saw (I wish I had saved it) where the creator was sharing her disappointment after starting a business and not making any money.  
As someone who has started several businesses and side hustles, I feel like this is an important conversation to have before you jump into starting your own business, especially if your main motivation for that business is to start making money quickly.  
Cheering you on in all seasons!

156. Trying to budget but always falling off track? One simple thing you can do to get yourself back on track before the Holidays

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Hi friends!
Is it safe to say not everyone is the biggest fan or budgeting?  
Whether you love it, or loathe it, we've all gotten off track from time to time.  With the holidays approaching, I thought it was a good time to have a heart to heart on being proactive with our budget knowing what's ahead the next few months. 
So if you're off track, how do you get back on?  In this episode I'm sharing one thing you can do to get you back on track.  It doesn't have to be overwhelming.  
Let's get you back to being the boss of your money.

155. What's the status on our debt payoff? An update on how much debt we have left and why it's taking so long.

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Hi friends!
This whole thing started because I wanted to pay off our own debt so.... what's the status on that?  In today's very unscripted episode (you'll know what I mean when you listen,) I'm sharing an update on our debt payoff, and what bumps in the road have made it take a little longer than we planned. 
PLUS I'll be sharing some questions you can ask yourself to make sure you're doing all you can in your own financial goals and not just making excuses.  
If any of that could help you on your journey, I'm happy to share.

153. Here's what I'd do if I needed to bring in an extra $1,000 a month consistently

*** This Podcast is NOT financial advice.  It is simply for educational purposes***
Hey friends!  
I see it on my Tik Tok FYP, I read it in emails, I hear it in your voice message DMs... making more money is a priority for a lot of people right now.  And not just a few extra bucks.  Some of you need to bring in a significant amount of extra money each month. 
But what is worth your time and energy if you need money asap?  There's an order of operations of what I would do if I was wanting to bring in extra money but didn't want to waste my time spinning my wheels. 
In today's episode I break down the 4 steps I would take and the order I'd take them in.  No more wasting time and money trying to start a side hustle that goes nowhere or endlessly applying for jobs with not even so much as a response. 
I hope this helps you take the best first step for you and for your family.  
Believing in you always!

So how can we possibly save money when we're already maxed out?  
In today's episode I'll be sharing what I would do first if I wanted to be able to save money but felt like every dollar was going out as fast as it was coming in.
