18 I Overcoming the Emotional Side of Money w. Jackie

Today I’m introducing you to my client Jackie.  Last year, Jackie reached out to me for financial coaching because she wanted support navigating a series of life events (newly divorced, maxed out credit cards, and she’d just purchased a new home).  These events made her feel frantic and insecure about her finances. She wanted to flesh out a plan so she would know what to do with her money. In this episode, you’ll hear Jackie reflect on how she learned managing your finances was about so much more than a budget.  Within the first few weeks of our partnership, Jackie had a budget but she was not experiencing the financial shifts she desired. She was consistently spending on food, toys for her daughter, and things for her home to drive temporary positive feelings. As a financial coach, I could see exactly how Jackie’s thoughts about her finances and her circumstances were keeping her from the results she desired most - to feel financially stable. I’m sharing Jackie’s story today because it’s powerful.  You’ll hear her tell you the ups and downs of our five-month partnership.  Our financial results do not have to be linear (and oftentimes they aren’t) to be transformational. The beauty in Jackie’s story is that in the last year she’s learned to trust herself and she’s built a solid financial foundation that is now supporting a life she loves.  She’s learned to love herself through the “mess” and hold on to the results she desires. She’s learned that she can trust herself and celebrate all the wins in between. Tune into this episode to learn: When Jackie learned her thoughts create her results about any situation (even money) How Jackie has learned to make more intentional money decisions How Jackie has learned to depend on herself How Jackie reflected on purchases she has made and used these lessons to drive her financial results Jackie’s number one tip for anyone else in a similar situation No matter where you are in your financial journey you’ll want to tune into Jackie’s story.  Through our five-month partnership, I was able to support Jackie in seeing that money is 10% technical and 90% emotional.  You might find yourself needing this same support.  If you’re ready to change your thoughts about your finances apply to work with me.  I can promise you the journey will be worth it.
