Has money and finance always been a struggle for you? Does it seem confusing and overwhelming? It's time to crack open this conversation and open up to a brand new view about what money means in our lives. This podcast episode is about creating good vibes in our financial lives.
​
We get into what money CAN do for you. It's an invitation to get curious, become empowered and take the first steps to letting money be a tool to create a life you love.

Money is not evil, dirty, inappropriate, impolite or any of the above.

I loved our conversation and learned so much about what’s financially possible. Julie really helped empower me with my own financial journey and I hope you learn something new too.
We as women need to step up and empower ourselves. Finance is not nearly as boring, scary or complicated as we might think it is.
Once you decide to demystify money and embrace it as your tool to change everything in your life, you can have more freedom, more peace of mind, more of what you love to buy and do in your life.
All by understanding your money better.
Basically giving you a tool to uplevel your experience in this life.
I really hope you take this as a beautiful invitation to explore your own financial well being. Take it from me, anytime is a great time to start.
As always, Hope you enjoy the show.
