WE'RE BACK BABY!!!! In this episode, I'm joined by KJ. a passionate financial advocate openly sharing her financial journey. KJ discusses her experiences migrating to the UK from Zambia aged 7, detailing her struggles and triumphs with debt management and living her 'best boujiest life' while building financial confidence. From her educational background in law to a rewarding consulting career, her story highlights the importance of financial literacy and emotional resilience. KJ also touches on the concept of 'black tax,' the pressures of being an eldest daughter, and her strategies for effective budgeting and financial planning. Her journey showcases how overcoming financial challenges requires internal growth and practical techniques.

Highlights:

• The shame of debt and debt cycles
• The "black tax" and family expectations within cultures
• Early money conversations and how they shape us
• Cultivating a drive for success and growth
• Navigating a career in consulting and doubling your salary
• Believing in yourself when the world doesn't
• Budgeting while living your best boujiest life

In part one of this new series, I'm sharing a raft of things you'll thank yourself for in 10 years. No matter what age or stage of life you're at, there's something to be said about doing something now that'll pay off in the future. Often we wait around for the perfect time to start something, only to realise that the years have passed anyway, and we'd be so much further along with something if we'd just taken that one first step a decade ago.

In this solo episode I'm talking all things THRIFTING! Shopping second hand can feel like the perfect loop hole for your little treats, without breaking the bank or the environment. But the guilt-free dopamine dispenser of shopping second hand, whether on apps like Vinted and Depop, or in op shops, charity shops and vintage stores, can lead to unhelpful behavioural cycles that leave you with more questions than answers.

In my year-long experiment of not buying any clothes, I banned thrifting too. Now, I'm learning to integrate second hand shopping back into my overall approach to clothing and style, and WOW, I learned a lot. This episode will share my insights into the dopamine trap of second hand shopping, and the skills to master in order to be able to do it mindfully.

In this solo episode I'm sharing with you the One Win Rule: a framework I developed to help you connect your beliefs and behaviours in order to break unhelpful money cycles. Whether you keep spending money when you don't plan to, or you feel like you'll never get ahead at work, or you feel like your business/side hustle is failing, the "One Win Rule" can help you intercept any pattern using principles from financial psychology.
