Martinis and Your Money Podcast

Today is the last Friday of the month and my regular listeners know that on the last Friday of the month, I host the happy hour on the podcast where I gather great friends with me to drink cheap drinks and talk about money topics.

We are now officially six months into the global pandemic and I thought I would take this time to find out how the situation has impacted our personal finances.

If you’ve listened to this podcast before, you know how much I hate student loan debt and how it not only impacts the financial but the mental health of people who have it. I’m always open to having a positive conversation about it and learn about more resources to help people manage it. 

Joining me today is Laurel Taylor, founder and CEO of FutureFuel.io, a company that is focused on providing great resources and education on student loan debt. She joins me to discuss why she started the company and how what she’s learned can help you if you have student loans.

After seven years of working with people and getting them financially healthy, I know for a fact that the biggest barriers to financial health are not in the dollars and cents, it’s in the emotional challenges and breaking through those emotional walls to creating a healthier money mindset. 

Joining me today is Ande Frazier, author of the book Financially Free: 11 Conversations to Have with Yourself About Life, Money, and Worth, to talk about some of these challenges women in particular face and how we can have healthier money conversations to develop a healthier financial life.

At the Financial Gym, we call the first meeting you have with a trainer, the “financially naked session”. In this meeting, you share everything about yourself financially so the trainer knows where you’re starting so that he or she can make the plan for how you can get where you want to go. Above all other meetings, this one scares clients the most because they are afraid or ashamed of their financial situation. Over year ago on this podcast, I shared my financially naked session and it led to a request for more. Now, this is a regular series on this podcast. 

Getting in the hot seat today is Lindsay. She shares why she left a higher paying job to work for The Gym and how she’s succeeded in saving more while making less.
