Welcome to the Unpacked & Empowered + Finances Podcast—a space created for newcomers to Canada who are starting over and want to build a life of clarity, stability, and purpose.

In this short solo episode, I’m sharing why I decided to rebrand from Finding Joy with Less and what this shift means for the podcast moving forward.

As a licensed life insurance advisor and a newcomer myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate finances in a new country. That’s why I’m sharing 4 simple, foundational steps that helped me feel more in control—and might help you too.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why I changed the podcast name and direction

  • A bit of my story as a newcomer to Canada

  • 4 key areas to focus on when starting your financial journey

    1. Know your cash flow

    2. Build healthy credit habits

    3. Understand how to protect your income

    4. Start saving with purpose

If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or just ready to take a step forward—you’re in the right place. This podcast is here to empower, not overwhelm.
