When I'm not hosting this podcast, I am writing books, but it is really hard for me to write when I'm at home,

And your home might be worth a lot more than you think.

to see you financially

naked and that can be super stressful especially if you're not where you want to be

financially or if there's something in your financial picture that you're confused
