Shownotes

Have you ever tried budgeting in the past, maybe multiple times, only to feel that lingering sense of defeat when things just didn't stick? You're smart, you're educated, you have a good job, yet money still feels incredibly confusing. You download the apps, you try the "no-spend" challenges, you restrict yourself... and then you crash and burn on a guilt-fueled spending spree.

In this episode, we explore why most traditional budgeting advice fails us and introduce you to the four sides of money. By addressing all four of these areas, you can finally create lasting change and achieve what I call Financial Exuberance—a state where you have a positive relationship with money, use it as a tool to live Your Greatest Life, and achieve your biggest, wildest dreams.
