Hello, everyone, and welcome back to an all new episode of the financial confessions. It's me,

your host, Chelsea Fagan, founder and CEO of the financial diet and woman who loves talking about

money. And it's been a while since we've done an episode of TFC that is just getting sort of back

0:16.9

to basics and nuts and bolts about getting good with money, saving money, paying down debt,

0:22.6

investing, and doing all of the things that we really should be doing to whatever extent it's

0:28.2

available to us, but often many of us just don't know how to. We don't know where to start.

0:33.3

1:30.3

She talks a lot on her channel and in her book about all of the different methods and

1:35.4

mindset shifts that really allowed her to not only save this amount, but also to change

1:40.9

her relationship with money and embrace a lifestyle financially that is both sustainable and enjoyable.

1:47.7

My guest today is creator and author, Michaela Alaka, and I'm so glad to have her with us today.
