Summary:  The invasion of Ukraine by Russia really got me thinking... what if,  more women had SICK money. I'm talking Oprah-level money.  How could we, as women, impact the world if we had more money, and consequently,  more resources at our disposal? In this episode I talk about: 1. How women have gotten used to letting their man handle their money, consequently handing their power over to their man. 2. The number of women millionaires, CEO's, etc... is staggeringly low compared to the number of men in those same categories 3. More money = More impact. The more money women have, the more than their impact their community (on the micro) and the world (macro). 4. What women can do now to take control of their money.  Listen to the whole episode and decide for yourself. 

Summary: I've been wondering... Is there REALLY a housing shortage. I mean, what's really happening with real estate prices going up 20% or more each year over the past few years?  In this episode I talk about: 1. Institutional investors purchasing residential houseing 2. Foreign governments purchasing residential housing 3. iBuyer and other programs purchasing residential housing, then flipping, possibly inflating the prices of the housing 4. The fact that the media has downplayed these groups who are purchasing residential property and we've just been told: "there's a housing shortage".

What all this means for regular folks who are just tiring to buy a home Listen to the whole episode and decide for yourself.

Let's talk about some of the real things that are slowly creeping up on us, making us wonder why we have less money than we previously did. 1) YOUR opinion matters more than anyone else's opinion of you 2) Really, no one gives a crap what label your bag is 3) If you can't afford to buy the fancy car in cash, you can't afford it and you're just being silly by pretending you can. Stop spending your money on dumb sh!t. Do the things you need to do in order to set yourself up for success. And that doesn't include that expensive bag!

Summary: So I was freaking out the other day and I was feeling really lost. I've noticed that a lot of people are feeling that way, too. There's also a lot of people who quit their jobs, started something new, move to another state, changed their marital status, etc... There's a lot of people who are working towards their goal but haven't quite made it there yet.  In this episode: - Most of the thing you're not lost, you just have yet to go where you're going.  - Even if you have a map, this time can be scary - The next time you think that you can't make money from what you love, remember the dude who sold a gazillion pet rocks in the 70's/80's

Summary: I always believe that there's a lesson, and Covid is no exception. I had a really interesting experience with friends recently where it seems they went back to "normal", but should we really go back to normal?

How can you incorporate that into your life now?
