In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the 3 things I know to be true about money. These 3 truths are powerful ways to reframe your relationship with money. First up, you've gotta think of money as a TOOL. It's a resource that helps you create the life you desire. Money itself isn't inherently good or bad; the emotions we attach to it give it meaning. So, if you've ever felt unworthy of money, it's time to challenge that belief. Picture money as part of a toolkit - just like how tools are essential for building a wardrobe, money is essential for building your dream life. Building your wardrobe or dream life without using a toolkit doesn't make you noble; it makes it harder, it takes longer and limits your potential. When you use money intentionally as a tool, you can unlock incredible opportunities in less time and with more ease. Next up, money is ENERGY and its flow is crucial. Like a river, money needs to flow in and out of your life to maintain its vitality. While saving is important, hoarding money can create stagnancy. Balance saving and spending to keep the energy flowwwwing. Last and by no means least, money is ABUNDANT and cultivating this belief is crucial to building wealth. Abundance isn't just about having more; it's about shifting away from a mindset of lack and scarcity. Wealthy people succeed because they invite abundance and you can too. Whether you're manifesting money, seeking opportunities or you're a single gal looking for love, it all starts with believing in the possibility of abundance. So there we have it; tools, energy and abundance. Tune in to discover where you may be falling short and what you need to do to hit 3/3. In this episode: How using money as a TOOL will help you build your dream life Why money isn't good or bad, it's the EMOTION we attach to it Money is ENERGY, spending is just as important! How to keep the energy flowing Money is ABUNDANT and you can't build from a place of lack The one thing that ALL wealthy people have  Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm diving into the fascinating world of investing in precious metals - what it is, why it matters, and how to get started. [AD] This episode is sponsored by The Royal Mint - very excited about this one hunnies. What an amazing company to partner with for me and you all to learn more about investing in precious metals - learn more here I often talk about investing as a powerful way to build wealth. Usually, I focus on topics like the stock market, property, and business. But today, I'm excited to explore the unique power of investing in precious metals. I'll admit, like anything that is new or unknown, this topic felt slightly intimidating, simply because I didn't fully understand it. Since undertaking research and learning the "what", why” and “how” behind it, I've come to realise just how empowering and impactful it can be. We invest as a way to protect our wealth, especially from inflation. Inflation erodes the buying power of your money. When you leave your money sitting in cash, it loses purchasing power year after year. By swapping cash for assets like precious metals that grow in value over time, you're not only preserving your wealth but you're also beating inflation. One of the biggest barriers to investing for women is a combination of risk aversion and lack of knowledge. Research shows that women are 45% more likely than men to hesitate when it comes to starting or expanding their investment portfolios due to a lack of knowledge. My hope is that this episode, along with resources shared by The Royal Mint, will help bridge that gap and inspire you to diversify both your knowledge and your portfolio. In this episode:   What it means to invest in precious metals like gold 3 reasons why you should invest in precious metals 3 things to consider when you choose to invest 4 top tips for getting started Allow me to introduce you to The Royal Mint!

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to choose between investing in a property or the stock market. I get asked this question all the time and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Everyone's priorities, circumstances, dreams and values are unique. It's essential to get clear on what you truly want, beyond the expectations of society or family. If you value liquidity and growth, the stock market might be a better path. But if you're looking for stability and a tangible asset, buying property could be more aligned with your goals. By the end of this episode, I hope you'll have a clearer sense of which option feels right for you. Sometimes, our decisions make more emotional sense than financial. If owning a home has always been your dream, and it gives you a sense of fulfilment—even if it's not the most profitable choice—that's ok. Life isn't just about financial gain; it's about what we do with our money to live fully. So if you've run the numbers and still feel it's the right choice, trust yourself, pursue your dreams and go for it! In this episode: An overview of investing in the stock market and property  How understanding your financial goals will help you choose where to invest Accessibility to your money and understanding liquidity The fees and the costs involved with investing Diversification and leveraging your money when investing The pros and cons of investing in the stock market and property Why some things make more emotional sense than they do financial Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the psychology of spending. I've had an absolute ball this summer #noregrets but I can say with confidence that I've bought and spent money on things that I definitely don't need. Let's be honest - most of us have been here. Our spending habits are closely tied to our mindset, so today we'll be exploring this connection to help you make positive changes towards financial freedom. Moving from impulsive to intentional spending starts with building a strong connection to your goals and values. When you're truly aligned with what you want for your future and the deeper reasons behind why you value money, it becomes easier to pause and ask, “does this purchase bring me closer to my goals, or does it pull me further away?” This kind of self-questioning helps you spend more intentionally, prioritizing what truly matters to you.  Seeing yourself as financially empowered is another powerful mindset shift. When you focus your self-worth and fulfilment on experiences, relationships, and personal growth—not just material goods—you create a sense of value that can't be taken away. Your self-worth is built on how you view yourself, the way you show up in your relationships, and the impact you have on others, not on the things you own or the way others perceive you. The more in tune you are with yourself, the more you'll enjoy life without relying on external gratification. Learning to sit with your emotions, knowing you'll be okay regardless of what you're feeling, is incredibly powerful. Material things might bring a quick fix but that feeling fades fast. Lasting fulfilment comes from within. In this episode: What is impulsive spending? How does your belief system impact your spending? How does the reward cycle in our brain work?

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing why certain behaviours aren't helping you make any financial progress and 5 steps to implement change. Tell me, do any of these beliefs or behaviours sound familiar? “Im so shit with money, whats the point in trying?” Maybe you start off the month with the best of intentions and a budget, but you make a small little mistake and the whole plan goes straight out the window. Perhaps you have an ‘all or nothing' attitude, so you live by extremes and find yourself yo-yo-ing between saving and then splurging it all. Maybe you say things like “I'm a spender, I just can't help it!”. Or maybe you're a perfectionist and you think there's a perfect money management process out there where nothing goes wrong and you feel like you haven't cracked it yet so you keep starting new every month and never make any process. If you relate to any of these, I'm going to be sharing why these behaviours aren't helping you make any financial progress and most importantly how to shift your attitude and energy. I'll be divulging why how you identify is how you will act, how the compound effect shapes your finances and habits over time and 5 ways that you can shift your energy and attitude. Getting honest with your habits, mindset and behaviours and acknowledging how the compound effect can shape your life over a year, and even 10 years, will help you start to make positive change. The quicker you can nip your negative behaviours in the bud and implement positive financial habits with your budgeting and your language, the quicker you'll be able to create a life of financial freedom, whatever this looks like to you.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the harsh reality that you might be wasting your time and money. I'm going to call you out on this - if you are spending mindlessly, you are wasting your life. Ouch. That's a killer to hear, I know. When you go to work, whether that is a 9-5, you run your own business or you're self-employed, you are swapping your time for money. Time is our most valuable asset. Why? It's a finite resource and we only have so much of it in a day, a week, a month, a year, a lifetime. Unlike money, once you've spent it, you can't get it back or make any more. Which is why you could argue that time is more valuable than money. So, if you go to work, swap your time for money and then mindlessly spend that hard earned cash on things that don't add to your life, then you could say that you are wasting your life. Wealth is the ability to fully experience life, so if you find yourself spending on things that are not going to benefit your health, wealth or future self, or inhibits your ability to experience life to the fullest, then you need to schedule a money date. Get honest; evaluate your spending habits and get connected with your values in order to make conscious choices that support your goals and dream life. In this episode: Why time is more valuable than money What does the ability to fully experience life mean to you?

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing what to do if you feel guilty spending your money. There are two main reasons you might feel guilty about spending money: either you're not saving or investing enough to progress financially, or you're successfully building wealth but have a poor relationship with money. I'll be helping you identify the source of your guilt and sharing tips on how to find the perfect balance between saving, investing and enjoying your money. Some people save or invest most of their income, waiting for a certain point—like retirement at 60—to enjoy it. But as you age, your time, health, and energy diminish. If you keep waiting to enjoy your money, many of the things you're saving for might not be possible or desirable later in life. It's crucial to seize opportunities and live in the now. If you wait to spend your money, your habits can become so ingrained that you'll struggle to shift to a spending mindset later, and you'll keep finding excuses to postpone. That said, don't spend everything—balance is key. This comes down to improving your relationship with money, budgeting and setting financial goals. The ultimate goal is to achieve financial freedom in order to retire comfortably and enjoy your dream life, but also to spend your money and create memories that will continue to pay dividends and last you a lifetime.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the emotional, practical, psychological side of sticking to a budget. Staying on track of your spending is one of the BIGGEST issues in my community; I want you to know you're not alone. I'll be real with you - I have been a master budgeter, but since I started my business, went full time, took a pay cut and made the conscious decision to do more in terms of living my life, budgeting has become more difficult. Money management and mindset is an ongoing journey. I've saved £40,000, I'm a money coach AND I've struggled to stick to my budget at points too. Have I always stuck to my budget? No. Have I got tricks that help me? Absolutely.  For a lot of you, the word ‘budget' will bring up a lot of feelings about sacrifice and compromise but in actual fact, a budget is the tool that gives you freedom in the long run. This is why it's so important to work past your emotional and psychological traps so you can use a budget to your advantage in order to build financial confidence, achieve financial freedom and expand your abundance mindset.  In this episode: Challenges of adhering to a budget The emotional aspects of managing a budget 4 practical strategies for staying on budget 4 emotional tips for maintaining your budget The long-term advantages of budget consistency Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing 4 practical things you can do to break free from a scarcity mindset and unlock abundance. As we say goodbye to our summer of fun and move into autumn, now is the perfect time to check-in on our money mindset. Have you caught yourself recently saying comments like “I'll never be able to afford that” or “I won't get that money back”? Language and thoughts like these are tell-tell signs that you have adopted a scarcity mindset. This mindset will hold you back and can lead to poor financial decisions. You might find yourself stuck in a pay check to pay check situation or missing out on amazing opportunities because you're afraid to let go of your money. You might find yourself not investing in things like stocks, courses, and business opportunities because you're afraid of losing money. Ironically, this mindset is the thing that holds you back from making moves that will build you wealth over time.  This is why it's imperative that you shift to an abundance mindset, if you dream of a life full of financial freedom. With an abundance mindset, you'll be more likely to make good financial decisions, take strategic risks, invest in your future and make long term decisions that will build real wealth. It's important to acknowledge where your mindset is at right now, where it could be, and where it's holding you back, so that you can take action and make massive shifts in your financial freedom. You have the power to take these small steps and you have the capability to learn. The more you learn, the more action you can take, and each day you'll see how this domino affect will transform your confidence and wealth. In this episode: What is a scarcity mindset?

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to improve your credit score. At some point in your life you're going to need to borrow money and in order to do so you'll need a good credit score. Working class people are often taught that borrowing money and consumer debt is bad - largely because of high-interest rates and the fact that it's often used to purchase depreciating assets - however wealthy people are taught to use debt strategically. They leverage borrowing to grow their wealth, whether through business ventures, student loans, or real estate investments like mortgages. If your credit score is low, there are steps you can take to improve it. However, it's important to remember that your credit score isn't everything. While a good score is important if you're planning to buy a house, other financial factors matter too. Remember, your self-worth is not your net worth… or your credit score. If your score is less than ideal, focus on improving it so that you're in a stronger position when you need to borrow in the future.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the 7 important lessons that I've learnt on my journey about finances. One of the greatest lessons I've learnt is that it's important and necessary to take risks. People sometimes say "investing is risky”, but the irony is; saving your money instead of investing is risky and it has major downsides. A lot of us are taught from a young age that saving is the safest option and most of us bring this mindset into adulthood. But the reality is, inflation is eating into the buying power of your money and you are quite literally loosing your hard earned cash. Strategic, calculated risk-taking is not about being reckless; it's about making smart investments that can help you grow your wealth over time. By doing so, you're not just preserving your money, you're actively working to increase its value. Money is an incredible tool that can enable you to live the life of your dreams. It's not just about having enough to get by, it's about using your financial resources to create the lifestyle you desire.Tune in to discover some of the biggest eye-openers I've encountered on my financial journey and how you can apply them to your own life to build wealth and become financially free. In this episode: How to recognise why you shouldn't rely on others for money Why investing is the answer to building wealth, not saving How to understand the importance of taking strategic risks Why you can't budget your way out of a low income The quickest way to undo financial progress (avoid this) How to accept that your financial progress doesn't have a linear trajectory Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the difference between having a wealthy mindset and a rich mindset. Now, you might hear the words 'wealthy' and 'rich' and think they mean the same thing, but when it comes to mindset there is a HUGE difference. I'm going to be breaking down why you want to be adopting a wealth mindset if you want to create a life of financial freedom and happiness. The first step is identifying what wealth means to you and getting really clear on your why. If your answer is 'freedom', what does freedom mean to you? Sometimes we throw out answers that are fluffy and intangible, but we don't actually know what they mean for us. For example, when I think about my version of wealth in the short term, it means being able to travel with my business, grow my investments and afford to live in London whilst still being able to afford to explore the world. My long term idea of wealth is working less, travelling more, being able to look after my health and prioritise wellness, choose how I spend my time, live a certain level of luxury and have financial stability. When you have a rich mindset, the focus is on money, materialistic things and numbers, but when you have a wealth mindset, the focus is on health, time, freedom and the ability to choose. Materialistic things fade; it's ok to want them but if this is your only goal you're not going to feel fulfilled.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing what to do if you feel like you don't have enough money to start investing. People say to me ALL the time: "I want to invest but I don't have enough money”. Now, this is very subjective because one persons "I don't have enough" is another persons "wow, what a lot of money!” I bet that most of you (except those of you who are budgeted down to the penny) have a little bit of money in your monthly spending allowance that you can use to invest. I guarantee that somewhere you are accidentally wasting money. When I say ‘wasting', I mean a combination of spending mindlessly, not being savvy or not paying attention, for example wasting money on subscriptions you don't use. Even if it is £20 a month, this money can make all the difference to your financial future. Investing isn't about waiting for lots of money to invest. It's about getting started with what you already have, taking time to get to know your finances by having monthly money dates, and using this knowledge to find money to invest. Most importantly, you want to do this in a way that is judgement free. Why? Placing judgement on your finances is one of the worst things you can do - it creates shame, embarrassment and guilt. You can't shame yourself into better habits, you have to love yourself there. So, if you've been wasting £20 on a gym membership you're not using, don't judge yourself! Shift your mindset and flip it into a positive. You now have £20 to invest and this is just the beginning of building wealth for your life and creating financial freedom. How exciting! In this episode: Why you should start investing, even if you have just £10 The impact of investing £20 over 30 years How to identify where you are accidentally wasting money The importance of having money dates and being judgement free How cutting back can help us. get started with better financial habits How to adopt an empowering mindset by making conscious choices 3 ways to make more money so you can invest Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investorf

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the cost of your dream life. It might be easy to feel like your dream life is way off. Perhaps it feels overwhelming to think how you'll actually achieve it, but it might not be as far off as you think. Humans have a tendency to over-inflate and under-inflate in the wrong places. It's similar to how we overestimate what we can do in a day, but underestimate what we can achieve in 5 years. When you apply this concept to your dream life, you'll quickly learn how it could be just around the corner if you take the right steps to get there. The crux of it is; saving is for the short term, but investing is for the long term and THIS is what is going to help you create your dream life. No one ever got a rich lifestyle just from saving, you HAVE to be investing. With investing, you can get to a point overtime where you've created passive income. Imagine this: your money continues to grow whilst you use some of it to live your dream life, until you're ready to take a step back from work and you can retire and live of your investments as a full time income. Putting math and strategy behind your dream life is fail safe. You have to know what you're working towards. Why? If you aim at nothing, you're going to hit every time. Tune in to today's episode and take part in the fun exercise to uncover how you can live your dream life. DREAM BIG! In this episode: How to work out what your dream life looks like and will cost you An example and breakdown of what you'd need to live a 10K month dream life How to make your money work FOR you so you can live your dream life Why you need to be investing if you want to be financially free Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing what to do if you're scared to start investing. I've had a lot of conversations with 'finance bros' who just talk at me, but recently I had a conversation with a guy who did a really good job at explaining crypto. Initially, I dismissed it, but the more he explained it to me and I gained an understanding, the more I was open to exploring it. It made me realise that the way I initially reacted with fear, is the way a lot of people in my community feel about investing. It's this reaction of "I'm scared, I don't understand it, I don't want to talk about it and therefore it's not for me!" This conversation and reaction inspired me to record an episode on how to navigate fear when you're scared of investing. Knowledge is power, especially when it's put into action. You can't just mess around and hope that one day your finances will sort themselves out. It's important to find out what fuels you in life. Why do you want money? What does wealth mean to you? What does freedom look like to you? You can use this to fuel and drive your motivation to learn. This can be your North Star to guide you to get started with investing. Learning how to work through, reduce and act upon your fear is going to help you create your dream life and actually build wealth. In this episode: How to uncover what's behind your fear of investing What do do if you're scared of investing because of 'losing money' What to do when you hear horror stories about investing What to do if you're scared of investing because you don't 'know enough' Why you don't need loads of money to start investing Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the 3 mindsets that you need to have to be a successful investor. Your mindset is the foundation for everything you do in life. When it comes to building wealth, you won't get very far without understanding, embodying and mastering the following mindsets; patience and consistency, embracing risk and adopting an abundance mindset. Patience and consistency are vital because the magic of compound interest depends on time. It's simple, you can't rush something that needs patience and strategy to grow. Embracing risk is crucial. No one ever got rich just from saving! Our mind is trying to protect us from the unknown and whilst it might feel like saving is providing you with financial stability, taking no risk at all can really limit building wealth and long term financial growth. Adopting an abundance mindset quite literally has the power to transform your life. It's about shifting your mindset to view investing as opportunity to create your dream life. People who are financially independent, build wealth and invest think about their long term goals, have mastered these 3 mindsets and put their money to work for them. So, if you want to begin thinking like an investor, become financial independent and achieve your big happy goals, tune in!

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing my four step method to money mindset mastery. Today's episode is slightly different as I'm sharing a recent conversation where I was interviewed by Anita Anello, a fellow business owner, coach, successful software executive and mom dedicated to helping women enjoy more time, money and freedom. We dive into all things money mindset, your relationship with money, financial freedom and understanding your financial habits. I'm a big believer that the way you think and feel about money will be your reality with your money. All the decisions that you make about money come from a place of emotion which we then justify with logic. We all have a money mindset (the unique beliefs and attitudes you have towards money that impact the way you earn, save and spend money) and we all have a money story (your belief system made up of individual, societal, religious, cultural and generational beliefs). These both shape the way you view money and how it works in the world. It's important to remember that you have the power to change your money story and cultivate a positive, empowering and abundant mindset. Tune in to today's episode for my 4 step method… In this episode: How to understand your money story and money mindset The psychology of money: why money is emotional The difference between growth mindset vs. fixed mindset Your relationship with money: survival, spending and success Step 1: Bring awareness to your money story, get curious!  Step 2: Believe that you can change, acquire a growth mindset Step 3: Change your language around money, it's powerful Step 4: Techniques to build and strengthen your abundance mindset Resources Connect with Anita Anello Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how you can fluctuate and transition between spending and saving and what you can do to find balance. You'll go through phases in your life where sometimes you'll be spending more than you're saving, and vice versa, depending on where you're at in your life, your goals and priorities. I don't know about you, but right now, it's summer 2024 and I can safely say I'm in my spending era. I'm having a good time, making memories, enjoying my money and living my best life. That said, I'm a big believer that you can always return to a healthy balance between saving, spending and investing. When it comes to finding balance, it can be so easy to fall off the wagon and even easier to beat ourselves up about it, but we can't shame ourselves into better habits.  When it comes to the question “how much should I be saving and spending”, there is no right or wrong answer and it's going to look different for everyone. You can gain clarity around what balance means to you by reverse engineering and mapping out your financial and big happy life goals. It's important to remember that spending money is always going to be a part of living your life, but it's not healthy to live pay check to pay check. As much fun as you can have spending your money, the stress of not having money saved or invested can be greater and cancel out the fun. This is why the balance is so important; ensuring that you're continually feeding your emergency fund, and that you'll be safe and secure if you ever were to lose your income, but also saying yes to opportunities and living life to the fullest. In this epsiode: Why you can fluctuate between a spending and saving era What it looks like to be in a spending era in summer 2024 What should you do be doing with your money?

If you don't know how to manage your money, you don't have the ability to stick to a spending plan or you don't know where your money is going, it will be so hard to be successful and achieve your big happy goals because you have no data and no way of making a plan. People struggle with balancing the 3 s's. There's no right or wrong way to answer what the right balance is.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the 5 must have accounts for your finances. Managing your money can feel overwhelming with so many different accounts available, from savings accounts, to stocks and shares ISA's and pensions. The biggest challenge is knowing where to put your money so it can grow and remain safe. Growing up, we're often only taught about having a current account, but there's much more to financial success than that. With such limited information, it can feel difficult to know where to begin leading many people to limit themselves by keeping their money solely in a current account. We'll discuss the five essential accounts you need to manage your money effectively and how having multiple accounts can set you up for financial success. By understanding and utilising these key accounts, you can take control of your financial future. Don't just settle for a current account—expand your financial toolkit and set yourself up for success. Tune in to learn how to navigate these accounts and maximise your financial potential.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing 4 top tips on how to manage your finances with your partner. Money can be a huge issue in relationships and it's one of the main reasons why people break up. Research in the UK shows that 17% of couples argue about money at least once a week and 5% argue about finances every single day - how tiring is that! These arguments don't necessarily arise from a lack of money but rather from discussions and disagreements about financial matters, such as how to divide the bills or how you manage your own spending. The underlying issue is that it will make you irritable, put you in a bad mood, and cause you to struggle with your mental health, all of which will affect your relationship. In this episode, I'll address some of the financial issues couples face, how to navigate them, and how to set yourselves up for success in managing money within your relationship. Open and honest conversations about money are crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship. Finances are an ongoing aspect of your partnership, and if you can't have these discussions now, imagine how challenging they will be when you're married, having kids, or buying houses.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be answering a question I recently received on The Money Hotline - “why do I keep digging in and out of debt?” I delve into the crucial steps needed to break free from the cycle of debt. The first step is identifying the root cause of your debt. There are many common culprits including the overpayment of debt, behavioural patterns such as overspending, a lack of discipline or having a scarcity mindset. Knowledge is power and without uncovering this data you can't make a plan to clear your debt. I also share how to set yourself up for success by creating a fail-safe debt management plan, implementing practical strategies and allowing space for self reflection to affirm your financial capability and abundant mindset. It might be a slow process, but quitting is not an option. Perseverance is key and embracing these steps towards financial freedom is worth every step - there is only positivity on the other side of this journey. Clearing your debt is not only going to increase your net worth, but it will get you one step closer to financial independence and security.  In this episode: The importance of identifying the root cause of your debt The most common reasons why you're stuck in debt How to set yourself up for success to achieve financial freedom How to shift your mindset and affirm you are capable How to put friction between you and your spending habits Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing the 5 ways that I invest my wealth to maintain and improve my health. Ever heard the phase “people exhaust their health amassing wealth, only to deplete their wealth restoring health”. Many drive themselves relentlessly into the ground, work crazy hours to accumulate money, neglect breaks and essential expenditures and prioritise future savings over present well-being until their health suffers. Despite ample funds in pension accounts, ISAs, and lucrative jobs, they find themselves unable to enjoy their wealth due to poor health. But why not pursue both simultaneously? Adopt a method that's gradual, sustainable, and allows you to enjoy your money along the journey. Wealth is so much more than just money. It's your time, security, freedom, independence, choice, relationships, travel, and your mental, physical and spiritual wellness. Investing in your health will empower you to show up as your best self, achieve your big happy goals and enjoy the process of building wealth. It's a paradox: spending in the present to enhance wellness, to enable you to create an abundant, healthy financial future. In this episode: Why the best type of investment is in yourself Why sacrificing your health in the now is detrimental to your future Why I choose to buy and eat healthy, organic food Why my annual yoga membership is a non-negotiable Why I invest my time in creating at-home, healthy remedies  Why I invest in a health coach to understand and optimise my health Why I choose to invest in health care professionals Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing my take on the question “what should I be doing with my money?” I get asked this question at least 5-10 times a week. It's a question that comes up time and time again, yet it's one that's rarely addressed in traditional education or everyday conversations. Tell me, have you looked at your bank balance this month and not known where to begin with managing your finances? You've come to the right place! Mastering your finances isn't about adhering to someone else's rules or standards. It's about understanding your own big happy goals and unique values and making financial decisions that align with them. While there are certain fundamental principles to follow, such as budgeting, savings and investing, how you implement these strategies will vary from person to person and there is no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all solution approach. The important thing to remember is that you're the one in control of your financial destiny. You work hard for your money, so it's up to you to determine how best to use it.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to stay motivated towards clearing your debt. This episode was inspired by a gal who slid into my DM's recently. She shared that she originally had 40K of debt and is now down to 5K of debt, however feels a serious lack of motivation to get her last chunk of debt cleared. Does this resonate with you? Sometimes it seems the closer you get to your goal, the harder it is. I'll let you into a little secret…The driving force behind achieving your goals isn't motivation. Tune in, because the advice inside this episode can be applied to clearing debt but also your life and other aspects of money.  You need to stop passing control over to the hands of motivation. If you rely on motivation to be the sole thing that helps you achieve your dreams, goals and ambitions, hate to break to you but you're fucked. Motivation comes and goes in alignment with your emotions, energy and thoughts on any given day, and what rocky territory this is to be. We need strong foundations and we need to rely on action. The focus of working towards our goals and dreams needs to be in the hands of discipline, action, habits and systems. It's here that you will achieve financial freedom, whatever that means to you.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing my experience with money as a single woman. I think it's really important to talk about the intersectionality between money and your relationship status. Take me, I'm 30 years old, I've been single my whole life and there's been countless times that I've considered my finances as a single gal. It's not surprising that a lot of single women worry about their finances. To add to this worry, women are already financially behind in society because of the gender wealth gap including pay, pension and investing. There are physical costs associated with being single that get removed or lessened when you form a relationship, for example; splitting the cost of a wedding gift, a hotel room on holiday or a taxi home. Then, there's the mindset element. When you're in a relationship, there's a portion of your financial worries that get halved. These can be financial worries in the moment like losing your job, or financial worries about the future such as affording retirement or buying property. This is why as a single gal it's fundamental to learn how to invest so that you can work towards your financial freedom, independence and security, and ultimately protect yourself regardless of your relationship status.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to get out of your spending era.  Do you feel like you've been in an era of spending loads of money? Your bank balance is evaporating before your eyes, money is coming out quicker than it's coming in and you're ready to step into your good money management era. Sounding all too familiar? I got you. In today's quick fire ep, I'm sharing my 5 tips on how to reign in your spending and exactly what you need to do to tap into your higher self and become financially free. Caveat to this, if you are in your spending era, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes if you've been saving or investing, and you've been consistent and committed for a while, it's ok to go through a period of spending money. I believe that balance is not just 50/50 for life. It's knowing that sometimes you're going to save and invest more because you're working towards a big happy goal, and sometimes you're going to spend more because you're simply enjoying your life and money. The sweet spot (and what you should all be aiming towards) is understanding how to be mindful and happy with your choices and what you prioritise.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to stop letting your money go. Are you sick of feeling like your money is constantly slipping through your fingers? Does it disappear before you can even think about saving or investing? I get it, it can be hard to manage your money, especially when there are so many moving parts. There's a lot of factors that can impact your money management; the economy, inflation, being single or a business owner, etc. Which is why it's so important to shift as things change for you. It's about not getting caught up, overwhelmed or lost in your finances. It's about being intentional, aware and able to recognise habitual things in the present moment that will help your future self. If you want to become financially independent, you need to learn how to grow and manage your money by building an abudance mindset and trusting yourself. To start on this journey, you need to take small actions to manage your money. This could look like commiting to monthly money dates, showing yourself that you're good with your finances and tracking your spending. These actions will build up your identity and behaviour over time, and little by little each day you'll become a step closer to a version of yourself that's good with money, financially free and empowered.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing a life, dating and business update. Strap yourself in, because a LOT has happened in Q1 of 2024, including multiple dates, a mindfulness retreat which quite frankly changed my entire existence, and some big revelations in my business. I'll be spilling the tea on my latest dates including a failed second date with an Irish barman and a hilarious triple date. Plus, I'll be sharing invaluable lessons from a talk with Liz Gilbert, Author of Eat Pray Love and one of my favourite books, Big Magic.  Tune in to today's episode to hear all about the 2 day mindfulness retreat I attended with Global Coaches Jessie Douglass-Smith McGraw and Wyn Morgan. The retreat was centred around the idea that all of our suffering comes from our thoughts, but we are not our thoughts. Yes we have thoughts, but we get to choose which thoughts to believe and it's our inner wisdom and life energy that keeps us going as humans. This retreat honestly changed my life and this episode could be the catalyst to change yours too.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing why millionaires invest. No one ever got rich JUST from saving. Yes, saving is an important part of your financial plan; it allows you to learn the art of delayed gratification, how to not spend all your money and it teaches your body and brain what it feels like to hold onto money. However, if you only save in cash, it's a recipe for disaster. Your buying power decreases every year due to inflation which is killing all of your hard earned money. This is why millionaires do what they can to retain the buying power of their money by taking calculated risks, investing and growing their money. There are proven successful methods of investing your money for profit to beat inflation, retain the buying power of your money and increase your net worth including investing in property, the stock market, businesses, gold, art, collectables and bitcoin. Your capital is always at risk, which is why it's so important to do your education around investing.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing why all millionaires work on their relationship with money and why you should be, too. Relationships aren't easy, they take work. Think about your friendship circle, you need to put in time, effort and organisation in order for these relationships to thrive. This could look like taking time out of your busy schedule to communicate and check in with each other. If you neglected your friendship, chances are your friend would be looking for a new bestie. If we think about relationships in a romantic sense, you need to have date nights, spend quality time together and put in the work when issues arise. If you don't, your relationship will fall apart. Bottom line is, in order for relationships in any capacity to thrive, there is always love, respect and effort.  Now, the same goes for money! You have to give your money quality time. You have to show your money care and respect. It needs to know your desires and expectations. It needs guidance so it can work in alignment with you and your big happy goals. Improving your relationship with money and working on your money mindset are the foundations to achieving your millionaire status. Millionaires have an abundant mindset, they understand the importance of working on their relationship with money, taking risks, investing and learning about financial empowerment. This is the secret sauce to becoming and staying wealthy.  In this episode: Characteristics of healthy & unhealthy relationships What does a healthy relationship with money look like? How to identify if you're a good house for money How your energy can attract or repel money The best way to improve your relationship with money How to understand your limiting beliefs How to improve your money mindset with subconscious reprogramming How to reach millionaire status with an abundant mindset Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join  The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing why it's imperative that you plan for the future. The term future can mean anything from 1 day to 10 years but the simple fact is, if you don't have a financial plan for your future, it's going to happen TO you, not FOR you. So, what does creating a financial plan look like? Short term planning looks like creating a monthly spending plan, knowing how you're going to spend your money tomorrow and moving money aside for short term goals and emergencies. Long term planning looks like big picture thinking, creating a vision for what you want your life to look like in 10+ years, and making an actual plan to get there.  Creating financial goals is so much more than just deciding how much you want in your pension pot. It's about the bigger picture; what do you want from your life and how do you want it to feel? You get to choose. In this world we have autonomy and the way that we show up on a day to day basis is going to help create and shape our future. Your daily habits, become your life. Financial independence won't just happen to you, you have to make it happen for yourself. Your big happy goals aren't going to just fall into your lap, so making a plan and taking action is essential - this is how millionaires get and stay wealthy.  In this episode: Short term planning vs. long term planning The link between money and mental health How to identify and understand your career drivers How to uncap your income ceiling in an job that brings you joy How to build wealth sustainably to achieve financial freedom How to reverse engineer your financial dreams Mindset hacks: demolish limiting beliefs and dream big Rags to riches: the perseverance behind ‘overnight success' Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join The Feel Good Investor Use the free compound interest calculator

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to reach financial freedom by clearing your debt and steering clear of high interest debt. Welcome back to part 3 of the 'how to become wealthy' series. I'm spilling the secrets of millionaires and sharing the top 6 things they are doing to successfully manage and grow their money. I want to preface this episode by explaining that not all debt is bad and some debt can be useful like student loans, mortgages and business loans. Let's take a look at a student loan where you borrow money from the government to up-skill and improve your knowledge with the aim to get a job or career with a high income. The key difference with this debt is that you are utilising debt to make more money, get closer to being wealthy and achieve financial freedom.  On the flip side, consumer debt is a destroyer of your finances. This is where a debt (through the use of credit cards, overdrafts and personal loans) is used to fund consumption rather than investment. This type of debt is bad when it becomes unmanageable, whether that's because you can't afford to make payments or you're being charged a high interest. This will eat into your ability to grow your money and work towards financial independence because your hard earned money is going to the loan providers. Tune in to today's episode if you want to learn how to think like a millionaire, get high interest debt cleared and leverage debt to build wealth.   In this episode: Good debt vs. bad debt: what's the difference? 3 types of debt which are useful How consumer debt can become an overwhelming problem How credit cards can be useful when used responsibly How making minimum repayments is costing you money How to leverage capital and debt to make more money Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join The Feel Good Investor Use the free compound interest calculator

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to reach financial freedom by making smart choices. Welcome back to part 2 of the 'how to become wealthy' series where I'm spilling the secrets of millionaires and sharing the top 6 things they are doing to successfully manage and grow their money. In today's episode I reveal something which is second nature to millionaires: making informed choices. In an ideal situation, you'll take time to consider big financial decisions before you commit to them, rather than them being an afterthought. For example, when it comes to buying a property, have you properly run all the numbers? Tune in to learn the hidden costs, fees and risks associated with buying a house and the factors that you might not be considering which may lead you to become financially crippled. The bottom line is, just because you have the money, doesn't mean you should spend it. It's common to get so excited by the prospect of what you're buying that you forget to plan ahead and consider all the potential things that could be a financial nightmare in the future. You never know when your financial situation could change, so be mindful, take your time and make educated choices.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be answering the common question of “how much should I be investing?” Technically this is a trick question, because when the word ‘should' is involved it requires us to look closer. When it comes to investing, there is no right or wrong way and it's going to look different for everyone. Personal finance is exactly that, it's personal. There are 3 main things to consider when it comes to investing, including affordability, your long term plans and how to increase your investment pot. The short answer is - it's not a case of how much ‘should' you invest, it's really about how much you would ‘like' to invest. What is your why behind investing? What is driving you towards investing? What is your big happy goal? Sitting with these questions and reverse engineering your goals will be a huge support on your investing journey.

In fact, I'd make a confident assumption that everyone listening to this episode could be better at managing their money.

Managing your money will give you power and control over your finances, allowing you to no longer live pay check to pay check and to save towards your big happy goals.  In this episode: Why you should have a separate spending account How to create a saving, spending and investing plan Why you should always pay yourself first How to understand your emotional triggers and money beliefs How to practise mindful spending through visualisation Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join The Feel Good Investor

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing 4 things to consider when you're debating whether to quit your job to run your business full time.  I get asked this question often and it's something I'm able to advise on from a financial expert perspective and also on a personal level, as I quit my long-term job fulfil my souls calling and pursue my career. In today's episode I share my story, how I built Mind Money Soul as a side hustle and how I successfully turned my passion into a full time business. It's not as simple as waking up one day and deciding you want to quit your job. There are important elements to consider if you're serious about creating a profitable, sustainable business.  There's a narrative that 9-5's suck and being a business owner is elite, but sometimes the grass isn't always greener. As an employee, the benefits can be very attractive - a workplace pension, the security of a salary, work perks, the support and companionship of having colleagues. That said, the freedom that comes with being self-employed is incomparable. It's important to remember that not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur, business owner, founder or freelancer and often you won't know until you try - maybe you'll love it more than you ever imaged or maybe you'll realise it's not for you. The key thing is to ensure you're going into this process mentally and financially prepared.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing how to avoid a lifestyle creep. Lifestyle creep is when an individuals standards of living improves as their discretionary income rises and former luxuries become new necessities. The rise in discretionary income can happen either through an increase of income or in a decrease in costs. Essentially this means you have more ‘fun' money to play with (things that aren't going towards bills or debt) but instead of keeping the same lifestyle or investing/ saving your extra money, you choose to inflate your lifestyle to meet your pay check.  Why is this a financial trap? It can totally derail your future plans (including retirement plans or clearing your debt) and prevent you from reaching your big happy goals. The dangerous thing is that it can start really small. You might choose the most expensive thing on the menu, or grab an Uber more than you choose to walk. All of these little purchases that you deem ‘necessities' will become an integral part of your life. The issue isn't with living a boujee lifestyle, it's the fact that you're not putting a financial buffer in place and you're not going to feel the financial effects of this increase of money. The key lesson is: having more money allows you to get closer to your big happy goal but you have to be intentional with that money.  In this episode: Understanding the term ‘lifestyle creep' Why lifestyle creep is a financial trap How lifestyle creep starts small and filters up How to build wealth by saving and investing Why you need  to have a financial buffer What wealthy people do to protect and grow their money 3 tips on how to avoid lifestyle creep The importance of being intentional with your money The benefit of automating your finances Why you should set long term exciting goals Resources Download the ULTIMATE annual money planner Connect with me on Instagram, on LinkedIn or on TikTok Send me an Email Book a Money Mindset Exploration Session Get a copy of my FREE Monthly Spending Planner Template Get a copy of my FREE Money Date Template Join Becoming Debt Free Join The Feel Good Investor
