[BONUS] This slightly off-topic bonus episode is an explanation of a practice that I used to finally release the negative emotions that would not leave me.

My mission is for you to have less stress and more freedom, right? Well that doesn't just magically happen because you get your money in order. Money has a big part in your stability and your peace, but there are other things you have to let go of as well.

This is a conversation about how to let go of worry, how to release resentment, how to stop feeling guilty, and even how letting go of clutter is important too.

Sticking to a budget is a lot about having a mindset for it. You know you are doing what’s best, you know you are reaching your goals, you have a vision of your future, and that’s what keeps you going. So today I have a few unexpected places to help you with this mindset.
We discuss:
1. Minimalism

3. The Yoga Mat
4. Cleaning your drawers
5. Documentaries
6. Curating your social media
