About this listen

 In this solo episode, I reflect on a deeply personal trip back to my home island of Jamaica following a devastating hurricane. What began as a planned celebration for my younger sister's 30th birthday became a powerful homecoming filled with mixed emotions, difficult decisions, and meaningful moments of family, service, and reflection. I share the internal debate I faced about whether to still travel after the storm, how I ultimately decided to go, and what the experience revealed to me about community, resilience, gratitude, and wealth beyond money. From being reunited with all my siblings in one place, to giving back through supplies and local spending, to leaning on my village back home as a mother of three, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom is meant to support a full, connected life. In this episode, I discuss: How leaning on my village at home made it possible for me to travel as a working motherWhat visiting my father and grandfather's gravesite stirred emotionally and spirituallyWhy supporting Jamaican-owned businesses felt especially important during recoveryHow giving back without performing it publicly shifted my perspective on service + more Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your copy of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.Apply to Share Your Journeyer Story, here.Join the Journey to Launch Book Club to dive deeper into financial freedom with guided discussions and resources here!Join The Weekly Newsletter List to get updates, deals & more!Leave Your Journey To Financial Freedom a review!Get The Budget BootcampCheck out my personal website here.Leave me a voicemail– Leave me a question on the Journey To Launch voicemail and have it answered on the podcast!YNAB – Start managing your money and budgeting so that you can reach your financial dreams.
