Listen up, my friends. Today we're breaking down the toxic relationship between busyness and your bank account. πŸ‘€

Welcome to Episode 5 of our limited series in partnership with DonorPerfect where we’re creating our very own five-star wellness plans ⭐ - and here's an most important truth: Being busy does NOT mean you're making bank. πŸ’΅

I'm about to spill all my financial tea, from my days of being a total money martyr to learning how to make savings feel sexier than your morning latte. I'm pulling back the curtain on my own money journey, and we'll talk about: why your self-worth isn't measured by your paycheck, how to create a spending plan that actually feels empowering, and how to break free from money guilt and comparison.

We're busting myths left and right:

  • Saving isn't boring ❌
  • You don't need a massive chunk of change to start saving βœ…
  • Financial wellness is about more than just your bank account πŸ’΅

Bonus - I'm throwing down a money mindfulness challenge that'll have you tracking every single penny for a week. Are you brave enough to join me?

Remember, financial wellness isn't about having a fat bank account - it's about creating a healthy relationship with money that supports your happiness and overall well-being.

So grab your favorite fancy pen, and let's get financially fabulous together.
