The Money Love Podcast

Have you ever told yourself that you can't pay off your debt becuase you don't make enough? Have you ever counted yourself out of building wealth because you work in a lower-income industry? If you've ever fallen into either of these traps, then this week's episode of the podcast with my guest Allison Baggerly, Founder of Inspired Budget, is one you cannot miss. Allison alongside her husband paid off over $111,000 of debt on two teachers salaries over a span of four and a half years. In this fun conversation between two friends talking finance Allison shares the ups and downs of their journey, where they started, the biggest keys to their success and their biggest mistakes along the way. Allison also walks you through how to create your first mini budget so that you can start budgeting today (and don't have to wait until you're paid again or the first of the month).

Your brain (and mine) is lazy. Very lazy. Your brain was designed to seek pleasure, avoid challenges, and expend the least amount of energy possible. Becuase of that, doing hard and challenging things like getting out of debt, finding a new and higher paying job, hitting a million dollar net worth are... hard. But just becuase something is hard and challenge doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. In fact, I believe that harder that something is, the more you should pursue it. For most things, the harder something is the more meaningful it is becuase the more it changes and evolves you into a better version of yourself. In this episode of The Money Love Podcast we're breaking down how to do hard and challenging things. Paige walks you through her best 5 tips that you can deploy so that you'll seek out and pursue challenging things.

Are you someone who welcomes hard things into your life or are you someone who avoids challenges in your life (and as a result ends up making things harder on yourself)? When we choose to do hard and challenging things we become stronger, we show ourselves what we're capable of, and we make our contribution to the world. Unfortunately, with everything in our world getting faster, easier, and friction-free many of us have become entitled to comfort and avoidant of discomfort. But in order to live an extrordinary life of immense contribution, we have to actively choose to do and go through hard things.  In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast we're talking about hard things and why you should intentionally seek them out. Paige walks through the topic of comfort entitlement, explains why we are so adverse to challenge, and gives you her best three arguements of why hard things and challenges are something that you should actually run towards, rather than running away from.

Each one of us desires new things: financial freedom, to travel more, a new home, to be more disciplined to name a few. But is your desire destructive? Do you desire things from a place of not believing you're worthy of having it? From a place of disbelief in your capability to create in? From a place of believing that you can't feel the way you want to feel until the desire is acheived? If this type of desire sounds familiar, you're engaging in destructive desire.  In this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast we're talking about the topic of destructive desire. What it is, what it looks like, why we desire things in a way that's destructive, and how to shift out of destructive desire and into clean desire. This will be an epsiode that has you thinking about the things you want and desire in an entirely new way.
