#003 How to Budget
Episode Summary: Many high-achieving women think budgeting is restrictive and time-consuming, but what if it’s the key to living the life you’ve always wanted?
In today’s episode, we’re redefining budgeting, showing how it can bring clarity, control, and confidence to your finances.
You’ll learn how budgeting isn’t about saying “no” to things—it’s about giving yourself the freedom to say “yes” to what truly matters.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why most people get budgeting wrong and how to shift your mindset. How budgeting mirrors successful strategies used by thriving businesses. Real-life examples of how budgeting can empower your goals. How to make budgeting reflect your values and priorities instead of aiming for perfection.
