    Frugality as a Superpower: Aligning Money with Your Values with Jen Smith & Jill Sirianni

    This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I’m joined by Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, co-hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast and authors of Buy What You Love Without Going Broke. We dive into the true meaning of frugality, breaking away from the common perception of it being about deprivation or cheapness. Instead, Jen and Jill frame frugality as intentional, value-driven spending that supports your goals and priorities. They share insights on understanding spending habits, using a 90-day transaction inventory to uncover patterns, and how dopamine fasting can reprogram spending behaviors. Tune in for practical tips and strategies to help you spend with purpose, align your money with what truly matters, and find joy on your path to financial freedom. In this episode you’ll learn:  That frugality is not about wanting less but wanting different and embracing the desire for big things in life. It’s about good stewardship of all resources. The need for flexibility and fluidity in spending decisions, especially during different life stages.  How a no spend challenge can be a way to pause non-essential spending and give the brain space to ask important questions about spending behaviors.  How to align spending with deeper values such as faith, family, friends, and fulfilling work.

    Building a Life of Purpose & Finding Meaning in Everyday Life w/ Jordan Grumet

    This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast we have a returning guest, Jordan Grumet, a financial independence and wellness expert, discussing his new book, "The Purpose Code," which explores the concept of purpose in our lives. He differentiates between "little p" purpose, which is process-oriented and joyful, and "big P" purpose, which is goal-oriented and often stressful. Jordan emphasizes that true happiness and impact come from engaging in activities that bring joy, rather than striving for grand achievements. He also addresses the misconception that lack of time or money prevents one from finding purpose, suggesting that youth, energy, and community can be leveraged. Jordan advocates for building a life of purposeful activities, which in turn fosters deeper connections and long-term impact. In this episode, Jordan discusses: His transition from being a hospice doctor to focusing on understanding and helping others find their purpose. The difference between meaning and purpose and why purpose is a key ingredient of happiness. How to identify and build purpose anchors through methods like life reviews, subtraction, revisiting childhood joys, and experimenting with the spaghetti method.  Why parenting is a responsibility and it shouldn't be one's sole purpose + why focusing on one's own purpose sets a positive example for children & leads to generational growth.

    Financial Independence is Within Your Reach - Chapter 1 From My Book “Your Journey To Financial Freedom”

    This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I have a gift for you! I’m sharing the 1st chapter to my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom. In this chapter I start off my book defining Financial Freedom and Independence and addressing the various financial independence approaches. I highlight the importance of setting financial goals, even if they seem unattainable initially, and the personal growth achieved through the pursuit of FI. Financial Independence doesn’t necessarily mean you need to quit working, instead it's about having options and control over your financial life.  In the first chapter of my book I share:  How to choose a path other than the basic personal finance and elite FIRE approaches and create your own financial path to Financial Freedom That financial independence is not about accumulating wealth but about the personal growth and skills gained along the journey. That the idea that retiring early is impossible or unrealistic is a common misconception. This decision is personal & can vary from person to person. Why you should view financial freedom as a form of control and peace of mind, even with any current financial constraints.

    10 Life & Financial Lessons from Running My First Half Marathon in Jamaica

    This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I am sharing my journey of running my first half marathon at the Reggae Marathon in Negril, Jamaica, drawing the parallels between the lessons learned from running and those from my financial freedom journey. This race aligned with the one-year anniversary of my book “Your Journey to Financial Freedom” and had me reflect on the power of setting ambitious goals, embracing challenges, and finding joy in the journey. I also share the pleasure I had to be able to stay at two boutique, family-owned resorts—Rondel Village and Travelers Beach Resort, and being able to reunite with former podcast guests, Tiffany Grant and Tanya Taylor. Through the lessons drawn from the race, I talk about the importance of community, preparation, and maintaining an optimistic mindset, while celebrating serendipitous moments that reflect life’s magic.  In this episode I share:  The race details, waking up at 3:45 AM for the shuttle to the starting line, starting the race at 5:15 AM, shared moments with other runners & the thrill of crossing the finish line with a sense of accomplishment. How training for the race paralleled the financial independence journey since both require preparation, perseverance, incremental progress & community support Why you should avoid assumptions about others and comparing yourself to others, instead focus on your progress Serendipitous moments like reuniting with family and connecting with podcast listeners can remind us of life’s wonder and interconnectedness + more.

    Protecting Love with Finances: How Prenups Strengthen Relationships w/ Aaron Thomas

    This week on the Journey to Launch podcast, I’m joined by Aaron Thomas, a Harvard-educated family law expert and founder of Prenups.com. Aaron takes us through his journey from public defender to family law attorney and entrepreneur, highlighting the critical role of financial planning in marriage through prenups and postnups. These agreements help couples establish clear financial boundaries and expectations, reducing potential conflicts both during the marriage and in the event of a divorce. Aaron explains that every couple is already subject to a default "prenup" defined by state laws, but creating a personalized agreement allows couples to take control of their financial dynamics. He stresses that prenups aren’t just for the wealthy—they’re valuable tools for any couple looking to avoid common financial disputes and strengthen their relationship In this episode, Aaron shares: Aaron clarifies the difference between a prenup and a postnup and the benefits of creating a customized agreement. The emotional barriers people face when bringing up the topic of prenups with their partners and the need to frame the conversation in terms of financial protection rather than planning for divorce. How customized prenups can include unique clauses like counseling or annual meetings and the importance of adapting prenups to a couple's evolving life and finances. The value of prenups, emphasizing their cost-effectiveness compared to weddings, their role in avoiding costly divorces, and the importance of treating them as a serious financial investment.

    A Candid Convo on Finding the Balance Between Enjoyment and Financial Discipline with my Sister, Imani Manning

    This week on the podcast, I’m having a real talk with my sister, Imani, about her financial habits and goals. Imani started a Roth IRA back in 2020 and has seen it grow nicely, but she’s had trouble staying consistent with contributions—mainly because of concerns about accessibility and wanting to enjoy her money now (can you relate?) We dive into why opening a high-yield savings account, automating her Roth IRA contributions, and paying off her credit card in full each month are game changers. Imani gets the long-term benefits of these moves and is open to making changes, but she shares the challenges of balancing saving for the future with enjoying the present. Together, we talk through realistic strategies to overcome financial hesitations and why small, steady steps can lead to big wins when it comes to financial stability and growth. In this episode Imani shares:  Her excitement on seeing her initial investment double in her Roth IRA from 2020, and the importance of regular contributions and the value of patience and discipline in building long-term wealth. Her struggles with maintaining consistent contributions to her Roth IRA, fearing losing access to funds and prioritizing short-term gratification over long-term financial goal. How to balance enjoyment with financial responsibility, and the challenges of following a plan that will benefit us in the future. How she's seen successes from following my advice in the past and commits to implementing the suggested steps:  Open a high-yield savings account to earn more interest on her savings. Set up automatic monthly contributions to her Roth IRA, even starting with a small amount like $100–200. Pay off her credit card balance in full each month to avoid interest charges Other Links Mentioned in episode:  Episode 221- Achieving Financial Freedom as a Creative Entrepreneur & Learning to Invest: A Real Conversation with My Sisters Get your copy of my book: Your Journey To Financial Freedom Leave Your Journey To Financial Freedom a review!
