[REPLAY] Values-Based Budgeting with Janice Scholl (EP123)
I rarely re-release an episode but I found myself scrolling through the podcast archives and saw that this episode had very few downloads. I looked at the release date and noticed that it had originally aired in the early summer of 2020. I can pretty much guarantee most of us were a bit distracted at that point in time but this is a conversation that is a worthwhile listen. So here we go - a replay of "Values-Based Budgeting" with my guest, Janice Scholl.
---------------------
Today I bring you my conversation with host of the The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast, Janice Scholl. Janice has made an entire career out of talking about money and business. She found her purpose when she began mentoring female entrepreneurs in 2012. Today, we define how value-based budgeting varies from a typical budget. The budget is designed to help people have the money to spend it on the things they want to. It shouldn’t feel like a restrictor but an enabler. Changing your family’s financial future requires a change in behavior and there’s no better time to start than today.

Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself with Morgan Cutlip (EP297)
Who is this episode for? Feeling burnt out? Skip the cliches - we don't need more lists of things to do in the time we don't have! If you're looking for practical, implementable advice you can begin today - this conversation is for you!
Episode Summary: Motherhood Burnout: We've discussed it before but, if I'm being honest, discussions like this tend to just add to the overwhelm (and pile more on an incredibly full plate!) This episode had the opposite effect on me. My guest, psychotherapist and renowned relationship expert, Dr. Morgan Cutlip, brings an entirely new perspective to the mom burnout conversation. Morgan joined me to share her wisdom and insights from her debut book, "Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself." In this episode, we'll explore topics such as confidently expressing your needs, crafting a self-care plan that goes far beyond the stereotypical ideas, knowing yourself well enough to know how to ask for help and more.

Customer Reviews
Great find!!
I love this podcast and the topics discussed! As the founder of Neatly Balanced, home organizing with a minimalist approach is incredibly important to me. I will definitely be listening to future episodes and taking notes that I can implement into my clients lives as well!
A podcast gem!
There’s so many practical life tips in each episode that can apply to any adult. The topics covered are interesting + provide insight on how to be intentional (and practically apply that no matter the season we find ourselves in). Highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking to simplify their life.
Minimalist interior design tips
I had the pleasure of working with Diane in her latest podcast about Interior Design. It was so much fun and we really got to think through some useful tips that can apply to everyone’s homes not just family/mom spaces.
