The nebulous idea of “enough” is the topic of conversation in the season 2 finale of A Sunny Side Up Life podcast. Most of us struggle with this concept very early in our lives, as we begin to understand complex topics and facts of life like class, race, and inequity.  But how do we handle not being enough as adults when not reaching “enoughness” has real mental, physical and psychological ramifications?  I explore “being enough” by discussing our inner critic, the power of therapy and trusted confidants, and how social media will never be able to tell the full story. In this episode, you'll learn more about: The concept of enough and how most people look like they have it all together, even when they don't How the idea of enough is a social construct + what led Millennials to think they would never measure up Redefining generational definitions of enough + setting our own precedent of what is enough for ourselves  Why you need to set your goals with blinders on + more MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:  Celebrate your wins reel Buy Yourself The F*cking Lilies  Brene Brown How Do I Find A Good Therapist?

The term “trauma” seems to be rampant in 2023… especially on social media.  Being “trauma informed,” experiencing “childhood trauma,” or having a “trauma bond” are phrases used repeatedly to describe certain pivotal and disturbing life experiences and/or mental distress. And while sometimes “trauma” is over exaggerated or used incorrectly, the current spotlight on this pervasive problem has brought, front-and-center, the need to explore it in greater depth. This leads to the question: what about trauma and money? Can you have financial PTSD? Can you experience financial trauma? How valid are these things… or are we, as a society, being dramatic when it comes to this pairing? In this episode, you'll learn more about: What is financial trauma + who experiences financial trauma  The 6 common ways financial trauma manifests itself in your body, mind, and life Ways to address financial trauma and learn healthy coping mechanisms Sami's financial trauma: money examples she had during her childhood, how these experiences shaped her money narrative + more RESOURCES USED: https://www.choosingtherapy.com/financial-trauma/ https://theneighborhoodfinanceguy.com/empowerment-and-financial-trauma/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/briannawiest/2019/04/04/financial-trauma-is-a-reality-for-one-third-of-millennials-this-expert-explains-how-to-recover/?sh=592085c130c2 https://plutusfoundation.org/2022/financial-trauma-impact-creators/ https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/finance/generational-trauma CREATORS TO FOLLOW: https://twitter.com/RahkimSabree https://www.instagram.com/stevenmhughes/ PAST EPISODES YOU'LL ENJOY: FEELING FINANCIAL STRUGGLE, COMBATING INFLATION & HOW TO OVERCOME FEELING OUT OF CONTROL WITH YOUR MONEY SPENDING FUN MONEY WHEN YOU'RE BROKE COMPOUNDING EMOTIONAL INTEREST ASSUL RESOURCES: 1:1 Coaching With Sami: Apply today Instagram: Follow me on the ‘gram  Facebook: Follow me on Facebook The Sunny Sqad: Join the VIP Facebook Group SHOW INFORMATION:  A Sunny Side Up Life Podcast is a show for women who are ready to live an abundant life full of freedom + positivity.

That post kicked off the beginning of a real place where women could connect and talk about money and all other things important to them and soon after the post was published, Angela created the Women's Personal Finance Facebook community.  Later that year, Regina wrote a guest post on Angela's blog about her newly coined term PrepperFi. Angela and Regina cemented their friendship over the course of Regina's son developing cancer and entering into treatment. Sometimes, great things come out of hardships. The Facebook community has now grown to over 70k members and is known to be one of the best, most supportive places on the internet.

You've probably heard the saying, "It's not about how much money you have, it's how you manage that money." Well, this episode is a perfect example of why that is 100% accurate. Haley and Justin Brown-Woods from Price Of Avocado Toast Podcast joins A Sunny Side Up Life podcast to talk about their journey into the personal finance space and financial coaching, how their lives have been changed by podcasting and what it takes to work together as a Millennial married couple on money management. In this episode, we chat about:  What Haley and Justin did with a $600K inheritance How tracking your money will transform your life Why Dave Ramsey got the boot from their lives The importance of spending on joy + more GUEST BIO: Haley and Justin Brown-Woods are a married millennial couple from California working to help folks normalize conversations about money through their company, Price of Avocado Toast.  In their early 20's, they received a $600k payout from a wrongful death lawsuit after Justin's grandmother died of mesothelioma. They each grew up in low-income single-mother households and financial education was not a priority. So you could say, they essentially won the lottery.  They spent every last penny of the $600k and then found themselves in over $220k worth of debt in just 3.5 years. In late 2019, they decided to start their journey to financial freedom and they paid off $132k in 18 months.

Jesse chats with Sami Womack, who paid off nearly half a million dollars of debt after hitting financial rock bottom during the birth of her first child. Stuck in a different city on business travel, her husband almost missed a flight home to be at the birth... because they had maxed out all their credit cards, and the last minute ticket was $800.   Sami and her husband had made most of the financial mistakes you could make. They were behind on all of their bills, including mortgage payments and property taxes. They had three properties -- their home, a rental home, and a piece of land Sami intended to build a business on but could not secure financing -- but were facing foreclosure on them. They were eating out frequently, and spending lots of money on food.   The added stress of children brought them to a financial breaking point, at which point Sami started googling for help. She found YNAB, and began budgeting her current dollars, instead of her future dollars, for the first time. It took a major lifestyle adjustment, and the sale of their land and rental property, but the Womack's managed to pay off their debt.   Sami now helps others pay off debt and reach their financial goals with personalized coaching and budgeting plans at: https://www.asunnysideuplife.com   She also hosts A Sunny Side Up Life Podcast: https://www.asunnysideuplife.com/podcast

Did you know that Americans spend roughly $730.2 Billion (yes that was Billion with a B) on Christmas, and the average family spends over $1,000 extra on gift giving. I don't know about you but Corona has done a number on our finances already this year (amen, anyone?) It's easy to think about the now, the joy, the giving, the decor, the ornaments, Christmas cards, treats, and spirit. But what about January? How will you feel when the credit card bill comes or you find that gift broken and stashed under a bed in a few weeks? Not trying to be a Debbie Downer over here but sometimes it helps to be reminded of these things when we're caught up in the moment. So, how can this email help you create your Christmas budget (with some creativity) so that in a few weeks you're not feeling all the guilt of going a smidge overboard? I'm so glad you asked! This week I got to sit down with Sami Womack from A Sunny Side Up Life and hear more of her amazing story. Going from $490,000 in debt to debt free in 4 years! We both share a love for Dave Ramsey and living life wisely when it comes to spending and budgeting. She has so many resources on her website and in this podcast episode that can help you this Christmas season and beyond. Let's go deeper into budgeting (not just around the holidays), but all the time.

We live in a society that's easily swayed by celebrities and social media influencers. At some point, we put these people so high up on pedestals that we started to look up to them for every single piece of advice. Then, when they show their human-side, when they screw up publicly -- or don't show up socially, we feel personally let down. Why though? In this episode, I'm walking you through my own thought process on this topic. I'm sharing about how let down I felt by Dave Ramsey's lack of #BLM support, and how heart-broken I felt about Rachel Hollis' divorce. But I'm also sharing why it's important to remember that even influencers and celebrities are mere mortals, and that the true magic comes when we remember to form our own opinions and be free-thinkers. IN THIS EPISODE, SAMI SHARES ABOUT: Why “Keeping up with the influencers” is like “keeping up with Joneses 2.0” Why “cancel culture” has been growing lately Why it's normal to feel let down by people we look up to My own thoughts on being disappointed with celebrities How to break away from taking their opinions and actions as gospel truth, and remember that influencers are human too Why it's okay to be inspired, but always remember to stop and think for yourself RESOURCES MENTIONED: [Freebie] Resource Library —> Sami's YouTube Channel  [YouTube Video] Reaction to Dave Ramsey's Racism Video [Book] You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero Podcast Home Page Leave a Podcast Review I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU...
