Financial Fluency Episode #25: Creating Passive Income with Sylvie McCracken

/0 Comments/in /by

I’ve known Sylvie McCracken for a little while and she was one of the first ever Periscopers I followed!

As an entrepreneur it can be hard to think that the buck stops with you. The effect on your income of a child being off school, or something like breaking a leg can be huge. Sylvie understands this and believes that passive income is something which ALL of us entrepreneurs should have as a kind of insurance.

We talked about outsourcing, health, what iTunes meant for passive income and more.

Financial Fluency Episode #23: Healthy and Wealthy with Krisha Young

/2 Comments/in /by

This week’s interview is with the wonderful Krisha Young.

Krisha is a Nutrition Warrior – what a great job title!

We talked about how an overnight success is rarely what it seems, (unless you’re a teenager plucked from a mall to a runway!) and how much work Krisha put in before she left her corporate position.

Krisha YoungKrisha, helps busy women eat well and feel damn good – sans ridiculous restrictions or heaps of kale. (But you can eat kale if you like it.)

She used to be you: Overworked, overweight, full of negative thoughts around food, run-down and I had rotten digestion. The thing that changed everything? Learning to navigate food labels, stock good stuff (that she actually enjoyed eating) and figuring out which foods made her feel amazing.

I’m doing two episodes now every week, one solo and one interview.

I also have the fantastic Mastering Money Matters group, a monthly membership group where you can join and we talk about all the different pieces week by week of getting our money systems set up and how we look at, think about and value money and all areas of our lives.

It’s a very supportive and private group just for women and it’s a safe place to hang out and talk. It’s kind of the extension of the interviews I’ve been doing with mainly entrepreneurs on this show, and it’s where we can talk about the things we may not want to broadcast out to a broader audience.

Financial Fluency Episode #6: Changing Your Money Story with Danetha Doe

/2 Comments/in /by

So this episode I’m chatting with the lovely Danetha Doe about how one can change their money story. I’ve been on her show and now here she is on mine! I love the comradery of the online world for this.

There are whole communities supporting each other who would NEVER meet in the “real world”!

You can listen in here:

A Real Life Example

Danetha has such an interesting story including cheer-leading in the NFL, starting a business, going broke and bouncing back from that. She really has changed her money story!

And, it just shows that we teach what we most need to learn (for me, it’s definitely organisational systems!).

Danetha and I both agree that budgeting is NOT always positive – one the things that Danetha says which I LOVE is:

Money is here to take care of ME. Not pay bills. Not take care of my friends.

Danetha gives us nuts and bolts financial advice as well as talking about the relationship we have with money. These things together are the key to having real financial fluency!

Thank you so much for listening to this episode, I really appreciate you being here. If you like it, please subscribe and join me every week. Thank you.
