In 2016, I was a wife, new mom, and junior Biglaw associate with over $670,000 of debt and a negative $342,000 net worth. By the end of 2021, my husband and I had paid off almost $500,000 of that debt (the total of our student loans) and now only have our mortgage remaining. I’ve since left the law to focus on helping lawyers master their mindset and their personal finances and unlock the power that comes with having complete control of their money. In this podcast, I’m giving you the knowledge you need to create more freedom in your life by improving your mindset and managing your money better. Learn more about my work at www.rhothomas.com.

    298 | Progress Over Perfection

    Many lawyers struggle with their personal finances because they can't get over their perfectionism. They never make moves to get their finances in order because they don't know the perfect step to take and end up stuck in the same place. But rather than waiting for the perfect plan, it's much better to make progress toward the direction you want to go, even if it's imperfect. In this episode, let's talk about the importance of making progress with your finances and why taking action breeds clarity and confidence. Head to rhothomas.com/298 for the full episode show notes.

    297 | You Get What You Believe

    Learning about people making less than me who were better off financially was a critical turning point for my finances. Seeing the things they had achieved helped me to believe that my husband and I could do the same things. When you build your belief that your goals are possible, you take action and make progress toward achieving them. In this episode, let's talk about how your belief impacts your action and ultimate outcomes and how to build your belief to achieve your financial goals.

    296 | Levels of Freedom

    Your financial journey is about more than money. It's about freedom. Each step forward creates more breathing room and flexibility in your life.

    294 | Rewind: Hope Is Not a Strategy

    Hope is a dangerous thing when it comes to your finances. Too many lawyers approach their finances with hope and nothing else. That’s not enough to achieve your financial goals. In this episode, let’s talk about why hope isn’t enough and a more productive approach to your finances. Head to rhothomas.com/294 for the full episode show notes.

    293 | Rewind: What You Want Now vs. What You Want Most

    One of the biggest reasons that many lawyers never achieve their financial goals is they get caught up in the things they want in the present. But by focusing on the things they want now, they ultimately sacrifice the things they want most. In this episode, let's talk about the balance between what you want now and what you want most and how to make sure you're still giving attention to your ultimate goals.

    292 | Rewind: The Difference Maker

    Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're right. Your belief makes all the difference in your ability to achieve your goals. The way you look at your goals and what other people have done dictates what you achieve. In this rewind episode, let's revisit a conversation I had with one of the first readers of my original blog a few years ago and talk about the importance of believing that you can achieve the things you want to achieve.
