4: Hope Is Not a Plan: The First Steps to Financial Freedom

How often do you go to log into your bank account and feel that familiar sense of dread? So many of us rely on mental accounting, guessing what's there and hoping for the best. But, unfortunately, hope is not a plan, and that fear is keeping you from the one thing you need for true financial freedom: clarity. In this episode, we're talking about why hope is not a plan and how ignoring this simple reality check is what keeps you stuck. We'll shift your perspective so you see that a negative number is a signal, not a judgment, and discuss how defining your priorities is the essential, motivating fuel you need to make changes that lead to the calm and confident relationship with money you deserve.
