187: Finding Financial Certainty In Uncertain Times

I’m back after taking a break to reflect on where I want to take the podcast and I’m recommitting to a core theme I don’t see discussed enough in personal finance: financial resilience—the internal ability to stay calm and make clear decisions when money situations change. 

With rising costs and uncertainty around jobs and business, I want to help you find more financial certainty by building resilience from the inside, not just focusing on tactics like budgeting or investing. 

I share my story of starting a cafe that closed after four years and left us with six-figure debt, returning to my HR career, and becoming my family’s primary provider. 

Drawing on decades in HR and my own fear and money avoidance, I explain why uncertainty is unavoidable and preview next episode’s first steps to build resilience.
