This week on the Journey to Launch Podcast, I’m reflecting on my own financial freedom journey so far and defining key concepts around financial independence. Not too long ago my growing family and demanding commute to my corporate job fueled my desire for a more flexible, fulfilling life. My husband and I saved and invested $169,000 in two years, I began my journey of entrepreneurship, wrote my book “Your Journey to Financial Freedom” and today I get to choose what I want to do with my time.

I’m also reviewing my framework for achieving financial freedom, starting with calculating your financial independence number (the amount needed to live off investments without active work) and progressing through my "Journeyer Stages" from stabilizing finances to achieving full work flexibility or "financial independence." I’m encouraging you to embrace your journey towards financial independence and find fulfillment along the way.

In this episode I share:

The challenges of balancing work and family, and how it started me on the path to financial freedom
The components of the wealth formula and why you need to maximize your income and optimize expenses to achieve financial independence.
The guac levels, which represent different spending habits and lifestyles & why it’s important to be honest with yourself about spending habits
The importance of changing oneself and becoming the best version of you through the journey.
