Moving is rarely a 100% smooth process. Sammie and Michelle made another big change in their life and moved from the west coast to the east coast of the United States. So they are delving into how to move across the country without losing your sanity.  Between the two of them, they've moved across states over ten times and have done the budget friendly version and a more hybrid DIY + higher spend version. Moving is so personal and different seasons of our life may require different decisions. They delve into why they choose to ship their furniture via Uhaul's Ubox (like a Pod) and ship their cars. They received a lot of great tips from friends and the internet and we share them here!

'Lazy Girl Jobs' is a trending concept that promotes remote work and work-life balance. The hosts discuss the pros and cons of this trend, embracing detachment from work while questioning the use of the word 'lazy'. They also explore the link between this trend and Gen Z's consumerism, the controversy surrounding it, and the excitement of moving to a bigger city.

What's the best way to motivate yourself? Through her research, Gretchen Rubin came up with The Four Tendencies, four different ways people respond to internally and / or externally motivation. Sammie for example, is an upholder, and will often complete a task if she decides to do it or if someone like her boss needs her to do it. Michelle, a rebel, listens to know one, including herself. Obligers respond to external motivation and suffer if they have to hold themselves accountable. Questioners need to know they why behind the task, and that will determine whether or not they do something.  Sammie and Michelle loved revisiting this fan favorite episode.

Lifestyle Inflation or Lifestyle creep is something that can surprise any of us. Sammie and Michelle are thinking of moving from a low cost of living small to town to a bigger city somewhere else and know that it'll be easy to inflate their lifestyle cost. Lifestyle Inflation is when you start to spend money on everything because you are making more money, the people around you are spending more or moving to a higher cost of living place. Sammie and Michelle share their framework for working to fight Lifestyle Creep. 1. Think very hard about the BIG things2. Start with your priorities and projects over the next few months 3. Beware of lifestyle creep traps, those "treats" like a chocolate croissant in the morning for making it from the train to your office. Those can become every day treats and small additions that add up over time. Check out our new newsletter at buildawealthyspirit.com!

This week we are chatting with Monica Lim, a person with an impressive portfolio of projects. She’s writes, has a YouTube channel, is an ambassador for the note taking app Notion, has been teaching English for a decade, recently moved her family across the world from South Korea to Texas and on top of all of that recently launched her podcast Let’s Get Practical. She’s always so transparent about her process, sharing what she’s learning through entrepreneurship and about her journey with ADHD. Monica discusses her entrepreneurship journey from quitting her job, discovering she has ADHD, learning to delegate and sharing the practical tips she’s picked up along the way. Monica was so open about her true feelings about leaving the corporate world (twice) and what she found worked better for her the second year. She also shares her journey with ADHD, from starting to suspect she had it, getting diagnosed and how she uses that information to adapt her lifestyle. We also dive into a strength of Monica’s that we hope to learn from which is to delegate tasks to other people and even an online virtual assistant. She shares what she’s learned after working with so many different people and how she now champions finding and up leveling great assistants.
