Summary

In this episode: mindfulness, removing judgement, thoughts creating reality, envisioning, awareness, and the hot seat.

Oftentimes on our show we like to remind listeners that achieving FI isn’t an end all be all to one’s problems, and that reaching financial independence doesn’t automatically equate to happiness. An important part of the journey is the work you do inward along the way, and this week we are tackling what that can look like. This week we are joined by coach and host of Mindful Fire podcast, Adam Coelho, to discuss the important link between mindfulness and FI, and the power our brains have to envision the life we want, and put dreams into action. Taking the time to be aware of how you’re thinking and feeling can be an effective tool. It will not only keep you centered, but allow for you to be open to experiences you might not have thought were achievable. So whether you are familiar with mindfulness practices or are curious where to begin, allow this episode to serve as a resource to begin or strengthen your practice!

Hey, it's Brad. We are in 2023 and travel has come roaring back. And in fact, the prices are at an

0:07.5

all-time high. I've never seen airline and hotel prices as expensive as they are right now.

0:13.0

We actually had a big conversation in our Facebook group this past week about using travel

0:18.4

rewards points to go to Disney World. And that's actually an article that I have on ChewsOfI.com.

0:24.8

So if you had to choose of I.com slash Disney, there is a step-by-step instruction on how to take

0:31.6

your family to Disney World for almost free. It's actually one of the easiest trips to take

0:36.6

with travel rewards. And it's the one that I originally published almost 10 years ago on my

0:43.2

old-side Richmond Savers. So this is something that works is easy and has worked for many, many years.

0:49.7

So if you're looking to get started with travel rewards, that's a nice easy way or just head to

0:54.4

ChewsOfI.com slash travel. And that's where we have all of our podcasts on travel. And we also

1:00.3

have all of our credit card reviews, including our top recommended card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

1:05.5

I think it can really help you if you use these resources. And of course, it would mean the world

1:10.4

to me if you could use our links when you sign up for credit cards. Thanks and happy travels.

1:22.1

producer of the Mindful Fire Podcast, which is a show that I've been listening to for a while.

1:27.2

And I think it's fantastic. It's the intersection of mindfulness and phi, which I think are two

1:33.6

aspects of life that I've been exploring. Certainly, obviously, you know, phi, but mindfulness,

1:38.4

you, which I've peppered in over the years, it's something that I've explored for years by no

1:43.6

means am I an expert, but I think that's one of the beautiful aspects of mindfulness is it is a

1:49.6

journey and it's learning about yourself. It's learning about the practice. And I think what Adam's

1:55.2

doing is really fantastic. So a little bit about Adam, he's a father, a husband, entrepreneur speaker.

2:01.2

For the last 12 years, he's actually worked at Google where in addition to his normal day job,
