Money Management for People Who Hate Budgeting with Emilie Nutley
Point Of The Story
Managing uncertainty as a freelancer
They discuss freelance income instability, fallback plans, and normalizing hybrid work to reduce pressure.
When I needed a $3,800 oil tank for my house, I didn't dip into my savings. Instead, I ran a 24-hour flash sale with the code GETSARAOIL and made the money instead. My guest has thoughts about this strategy, and they might surprise you!
In this episode, I sit down with Emilie Nutley, finance coach for women and owner of the most delightful British accent you'll ever hear. Emilie's here to give us the girly money chat we've been craving, complete with finance spreadsheets that don't make you want to cry and money management that works with your squirrel brain.
