5 things I did with my finances 5 years ago that are paying off now
In this episode, I reflect on five things I did around five years ago that are paying off in a big way now — from scrappy investing beginnings to mindset shifts that changed everything. It's a reminder that small, imperfect actions compound over time in ways you simply can't see when you're in the thick of it. Key takeaways: Starting to invest with just $5 a week can grow into something significant — consistency beats waiting for the "perfect" moment Paying off debt isn't just about clearing a balance; it builds the behavioural habits that fund every financial goal that comes after Delaying a lifestyle upgrade by even one or two years can mean making the move from a far stronger financial foundation Staying in a "comfortable" job can be just as costly as staying in a bad one Letting go of a victim mindset around money (like "I just got unlucky") is what opens the door to actually changing your situation The hardest part of any financial goal is the early stages — but looking back is one of the best tools for staying motivated to keep going.

Why having a "financial compass" will set you up for success
In this episode, I explore how replacing a rigid financial map with a values-driven compass can transform the way you manage money. Rather than chasing fixed numbers and linear plans, I share why understanding your deeper values leads to better financial decisions — especially in a world where careers, costs, and life circumstances are constantly shifting. Key takeaways: Why rigid financial plans fail to account for real life changes The difference between a financial "map" vs. a financial "compass" How your values — not numbers — should guide your money decisions The three types of money values: spending values, short-term priorities, and big-picture values Why skipping the values work means you may reach your goals but still feel empty How a compass approach helps you honour both present and future you along the way See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we balance lifestyle creep with still enjoying our money? With Tash Etschmann
In this episode I'm joined by Tash Etschmann of Tash Invests to discuss the concept of lifestyle creep versus values-based spending, and how we keep on top of small expenses adding up while still enjoying our money and experiencing life now. Inspired by my recent $21 spend on coffee and hash browns on hotel room service, we unpack value versus values, the psychological concept of category limits, simplifying financial decisions with money rules, and keeping spending runways in check before they derail your progress.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why the “pointless phase” is a critical part of any goal
In this episode I'm talking about a VERY important part of any goal: the pointless phase (don't worry, I'll explain). Nobody ever speaks about this aspect of personal finance, and often the advice we hear is coming from people on the other side of that struggle, leaving us psychologically disconnected from what we're being told. When we learn to recognise the pointless phase when we're in it, we can stay the course, get over the pointless hump, and finally start seeing progress.
