44: Breaking the Cycle of Busy, Broke, and Exhausted with Brie Sodano

Let’s talk money!

If you’re feeling stuck living paycheck to paycheck, you’re in the majority here in America - but it doesn’t have to be that way!

Brie Sodano is a nationally recognized Personal Finance Expert, and she does things differently – today we flip some paradigms on their heads and get a peek into Brie’s wisdom and systems for money, including:

• The ineffectiveness of budgets and the importance of mindset in managing money
• The worst financial advice Brie has ever heard (I bet you’ve heard it too!!)
• The interconnectedness of time, money, and energy in financial management
• The impact of college education and student loan debt on financial well-being – and how to evaluate college as an investment
• The best way for parents to build a healthy money mindset for their young children
• Why systems work better than plans (and a few system recommendations that will make a massive difference)
• How to look at grocery spending, and why you might not need to cut back there!
• One step to take to spend less (and it’s not giving up yoga class or even that Starbucks latte!)
• A simple habit to add to your family’s life that will help you feel better about money - and it’s not a financial habit!

Brie is a mom just like us, with all the surprises that come with parenting - like apparently having kids makes all your forks disappear. :) She’s funny and wise and a perfect person to have in your ear when it comes to thinking about money.
