203 - Budgets and financial planning are fascinating subjects, aren't they?

I mean, who doesn't want to get lost in a world of numbers and spreadsheets and interest rates and taxes?

Now that you're on the edge of your seat …

Haha! Oh my friend, I get it. Talking about financial health seems so dry and it's easy to tune out but bear with me for a few minutes.

Or 40 minutes. That's all you'll need to listen to this week's episode of the Hair of the Dog podcast during which I sit down with Colleen Patel, a financial coach who works with busy women to master their financial health one small step at a time.

What to listen for

8:00 Why we need to take more interest in our finances
12:00 Take your first step toward financial health
15:08 A few simple ways to start your monthly budget
22:47 How to shine a light on where your money is going
25:22 Why you need to pay yourself first (and save for the tax man!)
35:03 How to let go of the emotional baggage we attach to money

Colleen reminds us that it's A-OK to treat ourselves occasionally and I am here for it. Anyone else hear chocolate martinis or a trip to the Bahamas calling?

Is budgeting a four-letter word for you? Comment on the 'Gram and let me know.
