Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

Although the bills take up a big part of our financial thinking, your highest money priority is NOT to make sure that your bills are paid. It’s to make sure that YOU are paid–so that you have money for more than just your bills. You have it for goals, your dreams, and your freedom. And how you do that is today’s money mantra.This episode sponsored by: NextEVO – Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or more Learn more about your ad choices.

Most women limit their earning potential by aiming merely to be able to pay their bills–which is a wonderful thing to be able to do, but it stops short of assuming full responsibility for ourselves, and leaves out the potential for things like saving, investing, and building true financial freedom (meaning, not being beholden to the next paycheck). Today’s guest, Jennifer Barrett, is on a mission to change that thinking! She’s the author of Think Like a Breadwinner, and she’s been on the journey of correcting her own thinking and assuming more responsibility for the financial health of herself and her family.

Just like your favorite streaming shows, I am taking a hiatus. In the meantime, I’m replaying some of my best stuff. Up this week–all about your energy. As in, your vibe. Figuring out what raises your energy and what squashes it is a crucial part of being able to take care of yourself and your overall energy. I call it doing an energy audit, which sounds very official, doesn’t it? Like someone’s going to come to your house wearing a hard hat and carrying a clipboard? Don’t worry, it’s not like that.This episode sponsored by: NextEVO – Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or more Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
