Summary

In this episode, I walk you through five simple money moves designed to help you feel more grounded and in control of your finances. These are not drastic changes or big resolutions, but intentional steps that create clarity, ease, and forward momentum no matter where you are starting from.

This conversation is about meeting yourself where you are, understanding your current season, and making progress without pressure. Financial freedom is built through alignment, awareness, and compassion, not perfection.

Whether you are looking for a fresh start, a mid-year check-in, or a gentle reset with your money, these small shifts can help you move forward with more confidence and intention.

In This Episode, I Discuss:

Why naming the season of life you're currently in is the foundation for setting realistic financial expectations
How identifying your Journeyer Stage helps you focus on the right financial priorities
Why checking your numbers without shame or judgment is essential for moving forward
One small financial action you can take today to reduce mental load and stress
