Summary
Nicole Stanley joins the Journey To Launch podcast to talk about all things financial diet culture and enjoying your financial journey and life.
After battling crippling financial anxiety in her early 20s, Nicole decided that enough was enough. She went from $30,000 in debt to building her family's net worth to over a quarter million dollars by age 27. Through her debt free journey, she realized she wasn't alone in experiencing money stress. She began coaching to help others change their money and mental health story.
We dive into the need for more nuance surrounding money, how frugality can actually hinder your financial success, making enjoyment a priority no matter what your money situation is and more.
In this episode, you'll learn more about:
- The difference between black and white thinking vs. nuance in the personal finance space
- Why you need to stop equating your goodness with how you spend (or don't spend) money
- What financial anxiety looks like and how can you identify it
- How to invite a good relationship with money into your life right now instead of when you complete a goal + more
