Today, I'm sharing a few reminders (that I need myself) to help us actually celebrate the holidays with ease and still salvage some peace and joy in this last week or so of the year.

Less is more in so many ways. Be kind to yourselves, take long deep breaths when you need to and give yourself permission to prioritize what makes you a better you.

Happy Holidays!

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with Germaine Foley.

Germaine Foley is a Certified Life and Money Coach for women who make good money but aren't building wealth. She helps them take control of their finances and build wealth without losing the freedom to travel &/or buy nice things.

Germaine came to this work because she found herself in over $200k worth of debt and with very little savings even though she had a really good income. She figured out how to build wealth AND enjoy life at the same time and now teaches others how to do the same.

We talk about the 'do-both' method, the power of paying attention and the skill of having money - a critical piece to creating a healthy relationship with money and building wealth.

This week on the podcast, I'm re-playing an episode from a few years ago on holiday shopping and what might might really be going on when we feel this pressure to do and have more. I address many of the same themes of intention, managing expectations, scarcity, and self-worth.

As you walk down the aisles of Target or throw more things into your Amazon cart over these next few weeks, I want to encourage you to pause and dig a little deeper into what might be going on in your own world so you can better understand ourselves. The goal being to help shift our perspectives a bit so we can consciously choose to opt out of the overwhelm that comes with this time of year.

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with Michelle Purta.

Michelle is a Marriage and Life Coach for moms, who is on a mission to help couples have more satisfying relationships by teaching them the skills to set up their marriage for everlasting success by helping them transform their relationship through her individual and couples coaching program and courses.

Given that money is a leading cause of stress in a marriage, I thought it would be great to have Michelle on to talk about the complexities and challenges we all face and how we can learn to better address those issues with less resentment and less frustration.

In our conversation, we talk about communication (what it really mean and how to do it effectively), what influences our relationships and how to have difficult conversations (about money or anything else).

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and an opportunity to rest and reset, so we can come back stronger and more balanced versions of ourselves!

Today, I'm re-sharing my conversation from 2023 with Dr. Kristen Neff on the power of self-compassion. Particularly during stressful and heavy times, self-compassion is such an important concept to practice - it provides relief to those of us who feel like we're going through it alone, and it also helps us feel validated and seen - which is so much of what we're really looking for.

I hope this conversation is helpful, wherever you're at and whatever you're going through. We're all in this together.

Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. In June 2021, she published ​Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive​, which is a must-read for all women.

This week, I'm so excited to have my friend Jen Piala back on the show. Jen is a Financial Abundance coach and a Certified Mindset Coach. Jen helps women create a simple plan to help them stop worrying about money. Having come from a place of lack, she recognized she wanted more from life and wanted a life of abundance. Jen took the time to create and actually live a life of abundance. She is thrilled to be able to bring this work to other women so they too can start creating the life they want to be living instead of thinking ‘this is just how it is’.

We talk about why its so important to focus on the things that are in our control, what abundance looks like and how we bridge the gap from scarcity to abundance and the power of Fact checking our beliefs.
