As we celebrate the holidays and the year comes to a close, I reflect on the journey behind my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom, and share why the upcoming paperback edition feels especially meaningful.
I also open up about what financial freedom looks like beyond hitting a specific number, why flexibility and choice matter more than perfection, and how having a framework not a rigid plan has helped me adjust as life has changed. This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at the book and a reminder that meaningful progress starts by simply beginning.
In this episode, I discuss:
- Why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom and the gap I wanted it to fill beyond the podcast
- How my life and mindset have shifted since the hardcover release and why pivots are a natural part of the journey
- What's new in the paperback edition, including updated numbers, a bonus chapter, and a built-in book club guide
- Why planning for uncertainty is just as important as planning for growth
- How financial independence is really about having choices, not just reaching a FIRE number
- A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty
- A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps
- Updated corrections from the original hardcover
- Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including:
- The Fire Starter Course
- The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet
