    Want To Quit Your Job? The Truth About Your Career & Financial Independence

    In this episode of the Journey to Launch Podcast, I explore the question: Do you really want to quit your job, or are you just bored? I dive into the motivations behind financial independence and why so many people feel dissatisfied with their jobs. Reflecting on my own journey, I encourage you to ask yourself whether quitting is truly the right solution or if you simply need a shift in your work environment, role, or mindset. I’ll walk you through important questions to consider before making a big career move. I cover self-awareness, workplace dynamics, career alignment, and even alternative paths like entrepreneurship. I challenge you to think about whether you actually want to stop working or if you just need a break.  In this episode I discuss:  How self-reflection can help determine if your dissatisfaction is caused by the job itself or if there is a deeper issue, such as recurring work struggles or personal patterns. Whether frustration stems from low pay, lack of respect, or a toxic work environment, suggest considering negotiation or other options before quitting. The pros and cons of entrepreneurship, questioning whether you truly want to work for yourself  Whether taking a sabbatical, extended PTO, or making a career shift might be a better solution than quitting altogether.

    Financial Freedom & Love: The Key to Aligning Money & Relationships with Jessica & Brandon Norwood

    This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I chat with Jessica and Brandon Norwood, co-hosts of the Sugar Daddy Podcast, about their financial journey and advice for listeners on how to build wealth and achieve financial freedom. Jessica, a former teacher now in tech, and Brandon, a licensed financial planner, emphasize the importance of understanding one's financial background and having open conversations about money in relationships. They introduce their "DREAM framework" for financial planning, which includes diving into past financial experiences, reflecting on current behaviors, engaging in detailed goal-setting, and actively managing finances. Their insights provide a practical roadmap if you’re looking to take control of your finances, strengthen your financial partnership, or create a future of financial security and freedom. In this episode Jessica and Brandon share: How couples can have honest discussions about their financial backgrounds, goals, and expectations to avoid conflicts and build a strong financial foundation together. That all individuals (especially women) should strive for financial security to ensure they have control over their future, even in unexpected situations. How Jessica transitioned from teaching to tech and significantly increased her income, showcasing the value of networking, skill-building, and strategic career changes. Why money is a tool, not the goal and why you should focus on what it enables you to do—whether it’s travel, more time with family, or financial freedom—and structure your financial decisions accordingly.

    FEB 5

    5 Lessons on Embracing Change, Time, and the Journey to Financial Freedom- Birthday Reflections

    In this special birthday episode, I’m sharing five powerful reflections on life, financial freedom, and personal growth as I celebrate another year! I’ll be diving into why time is our most valuable asset, the power of detaching from outcomes, shifting perspectives to find peace in the present, embracing the journey as the true destination, and giving ourselves permission to evolve at any stage of life. Tune in as I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned over the years and offer insights to help you navigate your own path with intention, grace, and patience. Key takeaways from this episode: Time is your most valuable asset—be intentional with how you use it and don’t delay happiness for a future milestone. Detach from outcomes by focusing on what you can control and releasing attachment to specific results. Shift your perspective to find peace in the present by recognizing and appreciating what’s already working in your life. The Journey is the Destination Enjoy the process, not just the finish line. Embrace change at any age—it’s okay not to have everything figured out. Give yourself the freedom to pivot, grow, and redefine success along the way.

  7. The Hidden Cost of Over-Saving: When Saving Too Much Holds You Back

    JAN 29

    The Hidden Cost of Over-Saving: When Saving Too Much Holds You Back

    In this week’s episode of the Journey to Launch podcast, I’m exploring the concept of "over-saving" and its potential to hinder financial growth and life enjoyment. You’ll hear about my personal journey of saving, a habit deeply instilled in me by my family, and how it has enabled me to achieve significant milestones throughout my life. However, I also mention how an overemphasis on saving, driven by fear or outdated goals, can prevent you from taking risks, making investments, and enjoying your money. I encourage you to understand your “enough point”—the amount needed to sustain a comfortable lifestyle—and align your saving and spending habits with your evolving financial goals. In this episode, I share: The importance of balancing saving with spending, and how to reflect on whether your saving habits are holding you back from opportunities and personal growth.  The concept of the "enough point," the income and savings level needed to sustain a desired lifestyle, and how to align your financial goals with this benchmark. How to reframe viewing money as a tool to achieve financial goals, how to intentionally spend and invest in personal growth, happiness, and financial freedom. How to differentiate smart saving from over-saving and the need for intentional saving aligned with current goals and values + more!
