Everyone's Talkin' Money

Isn't it everyone's dream to wake up one morning and find a financial windfall in your bank account? I think that's why we all rush out to buy lottery tickets when the award is some obnoxiously high number - the hopes that we might find ourselves the lucky one in 175 million who strike it rich. However, coming into a financial windfall could also be a time of confusion - a time to pause and think about how you should spend the money wisely. On This Podcast Episode:On this solo episode, I'm tackling a topic that seems like it's a pro but could cause some confusion and doubt. What would you do if you woke up tomorrow with more money in your hands due to a financial windfall? I'm talking some of my favorite ideas for how you could be smart with your financial windfall, have some fun, and create a killer game plan that could leave you basking in the windfall for years. (And, of course, I sure hope you wake up one day a lottery winner...)Thanks for Tuning In:Thanks for tuning in to listen to this episode of Millennial Money. You’re awesome and mean so much to us.

There's really no easier way to say this - your money thoughts have as much of an impact on achieving goals as the actual "how-to's" and practical advice about money. This is the message I've shared since the beginning of the podcast, and it's one that Michelle Bobrow from the Holistic Wallet shares as well.On This Podcast Episode:Meet Michelle Bobrow. She's built a whole brand around mind shifts in all areas of our lives, but particularly finances. Michelle focuses on money psychology to integrate healthy and balanced financial habits into our lives.Through strategic planning and mindful coaching, Michelle turns numbers into a work of art as she designs holistic budgets and sustainable systems for you to pay off your past, save for your future, and enjoy the present. (YES, that's what I'm talking about).We cover some good points: How the recession impacted her as a college student at the time and the lesson she learned How you can begin to create powerful money shifts right away Why non-judgmental talk is the best kind of talk around money How you can create an awareness of what makes you feel good and what makes you feel like crap around your finances Thanks To Our Episode Sponsor:Thanks to Udemy for sponsoring this episode. Go to http://www.ude.my/mymoney right now and get ninety percent off when you sign up for classes!

We talk often on this podcast about our own stories - our money stories, our career stories, our family stories, etc. and how those stories have a direct correlation to the decisions we make in our lives. Our podcast guest, Lily Clayton Hansen, has built her career sharing stories of people who inspire her focused on her goal of reminding people, "that by keeping an open mind and heart we can foster genuine connection." We need connections now more than ever.On This Podcast Episode:Lily was a guest on the podcast way back when her first book, Word of Mouth, hit the scene and she's back again to chat about her new book, Word of Mouth: More Conversations, chronically stories from her hometown of Nashville.In Word of Mouth: More Conversations—the follow-up to Hansen’s first coffee table book, Word of Mouth: Nashville Conversations, which sparked collaborations with institutions such as the Nashville International Airport and Vanderbilt University—the author interviews a wide cast of characters from business owners to community leaders and artists. Her intention is to show the textured, complex creative mecca that is Nashville.My hope through this conversation is that you'll be inspired to have more conversations - conversations with your partner about money, conversations with your family, conversations with people you come in contact with about their life and find common connections. Also, I hope Lily's story shows you that a dream career is possible without a huge NY Times best-seller or millions of books sold. She's a millennial on a mission and her fearlessness is downright infectious.
