About 12 years ago I was broke and broken up with. Debt seemed insurmountable and I was in a constant state of scarcity. That state really does keep you from moving forward.

So here I am - diving deep and giving you some of the strategies that got me from there to here…not without a few wrong turns of course. What I found was its not just one thing that gets us out of debt. It’s the combination of the what and the woo!

There are different types of debt - with different values.

Credit: credit cards, personal loans, and home loans

Messy debts: overdue bills, late payments and stuff that accumulate often unnoticed.

When you understand the difference between good debt used to leverage and lead to financial growth, and bad debt, which are all those things you paid on credit and forget immediately.

I know this because I have lived it - more than once. One of the best things I discovered on the part of my happy money journey that took me out of debt was EFT or tapping. There are a number of ways to change your state, and take you from a feeling of scarcity to abundance but this is one of my favourites. Here are some links that will help you explore more:

Hey Honeys In this exciting first part of a two-part interview, I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with the remarkable Jules, a true powerhouse in the realm of public relations and women's empowerment. Our conversation centered around the vital topic of how women can take up more space and become influential figures in their respective fields. We kicked off our discussion by addressing the societal pressures that often make women feel uncomfortable about promoting themselves. Jules emphasized the importance of shifting the focus from oneself to the impact one can have on others, particularly younger women who are seeking role models. She shared compelling research indicating that many young girls struggle to identify role models in the careers they aspire to, underscoring the necessity for women to step into the spotlight. Jules introduced her "seven pillars" strategy for building influence, starting with the power of LinkedIn. Unlike other social media platforms, LinkedIn has a significantly lower percentage of active posters, making it an ideal space for women to stand out and share their professional stories. We discussed the importance of crafting a compelling LinkedIn profile that goes beyond a mere resume, encouraging listeners to share their personal journeys and motivations. We also explored the role of public relations in establishing credibility. Jules shared her insights on how getting featured in media outlets and participating in podcasts can enhance one's visibility and authority. She emphasized that having a strong online presence is crucial, as it shapes how others perceive you when they search for your name. Networking emerged as another vital tool for influence. Jules passionately spoke about the importance of building connections and how these relationships can provide support and open doors throughout one's career. She shared her experiences of creating spaces for women to connect and uplift each other, particularly in environments where they may feel isolated. We also touched on the significance of public speaking and how it positions women as leaders. Jules highlighted the alarming statistic that only 15% of speakers are women, which motivated her to create a directory for female speakers. She encouraged listeners to embrace speaking opportunities as a means to share their expertise and influence change. Lastly, we discussed the potential of online courses as a way to showcase knowledge and build a personal brand. Jules suggested that even simple FAQ videos on a website can provide insight into one's expertise and personality. As we wrapped up this first part of our conversation, I was left inspired by Jules' insights and practical advice on how women can raise their profiles and become influential leaders. But this is just the beginning! In a couple of weeks, we’ll dive deeper into the implications of becoming a woman of influence. join us as we continue this empowering journey, encouraging each other to take up space, share our stories, and support one another in our paths to influence.

In this episode, I dive deep into the intersection of money mindset and practical financial knowledge, emphasizing the importance of both in achieving financial success. As I embark on this solo journey, I share my thoughts on the prevalent discussions around money mindset and the often-overlooked practical aspects of managing finances.

I begin by highlighting the necessity of understanding how money works in order to master our mindset. It's not enough to rely solely on affirmations or positive thinking, we need to equip ourselves with practical knowledge to truly feel financially secure. I address the overwhelming presence of financial gurus and the narratives that often perpetuate feelings of inadequacy, particularly among women and marginalized groups.

Throughout the episode, I stress that many of us are conditioned to believe we are not good with money, which can lead to self-sabotage and imposter syndrome. I encourage listeners to take control of their financial narratives by examining their spending habits and aligning them with their true values. By conducting a "money makeover," we can identify unnecessary expenses and make conscious choices that empower us.

I also delve into the concept of manifesting and how it plays a crucial role in creating wealth. I share practical steps for setting clear intentions and visualizing our goals, while also addressing the fears and limiting beliefs that may hold us back. I emphasize the importance of trusting the process and letting go of the need to control the "how" and "when" of our financial journeys.

As I recount my personal experiences, including my journey to acquiring an investment property, I illustrate how visualization and gratitude can transform our relationship with money. I encourage listeners to embrace their fears, take action, and recognize that mistakes are part of the learning process.

In closing, I invite my audience to reflect on their fears and what they are grateful for, urging them to ponder these questions in the days to come. I promise to provide additional resources, including a blog post on the five steps to manifesting the life of their dreams.

Thank you for joining me on this enlightening exploration of money mindset and practical financial management. I can't wait to share our next exciting interview with you soon! Enjoy the journey!

In the final part of this episode, we continue our enlightening conversation with Sallyanne Hartnell, diving deeper into the intricacies of navigating life after divorce. We reflect on the emotional toll that separation can take, particularly when it comes to the loss of friendships and the support systems that often fracture during this challenging time. Sallyanne shares her insights on how to manage these relationships and the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive network.

We also discuss the financial implications of divorce, particularly for those who may feel trapped due to a lack of resources. Sallyanne highlights the existence of organizations like Plenty and Just Fund, which provide lines of credit for legal and coaching services. This information is crucial for listeners who may feel they cannot afford the support they need to navigate their divorce effectively.

Sallyanne compassionate approach and wealth of knowledge provide invaluable support for anyone facing these challenges.
