69 | The Critical Link Between Budgeting and Financial Awareness

In today’s episode, I discuss common things I see as a coach that keep my clients stuck in basic budgeting. Too many people think of budgeting as paying bills. This mindset paints an incomplete picture of spending habits. It won’t get you out of a paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. My goal as a coach is to bridge the budgeting gap between paying bills and how you want to spend your money. I encourage you to track your spending this week and identify what you spend money on that isn’t part of your budget. But track to learn, not to punish. A great budget isn’t about restriction, it’s about knowing your numbers, understanding your spending habits, and identifying what you want to spend money on.  Building a budget with a financial coach (me!) is a journey we take together. My overall goal is to be able to create a plan that allows you to do what you love and spend money in ways that align with your values. So if you are ready to start on the path to living a life of drama-free spending, I am ready to help. I hope this episode encourages you to shift your mindset about budgeting in a positive way because… [00:10:44] When you understand your relationship with your money on a deeper level, you’re going to feel more confident with how you’re spending your money.
