This may be my FAVOURITE solo ep I've ever recorded. I take you on a journey through the many evolutions of my personal finances so far, through the lens of the mindset shifts and identity upgrades I've undergone going from hot money mess to financially confident and building wealth.

I go through the changes I made as I:
Started fixing my finances once and for all
Began paying off debt
Finally paid off my debt
Learned to save
Invested small amounts
Invested bigger amounts
Went full time self employed
and bought a brand new car for the first time ever

The danger of "popping" somewhere + should you quit your toxic job? The Comments Section with E&V

While on my whirlwind UK adventure, I had the chance to catch up with Kira Matthews, a very popular previous guest on the podcast. Kira, a mindset and manifestation coach, is back to share more of her practical wisdom on bridging the gap between who we are now and who we want to become.

In this episode, we unpack how to rewrite the narrative of your life, focusing on understanding your identity and making intentional, incremental changes. Kira explains why overnight transformations often fail and highlights the value of embracing discomfort as part of growth. Together, we’re tackling perfectionism, reframing limiting beliefs, and building the confidence to move forward.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure how to take the next step toward your goals, this episode is packed with insights to help you start rewriting your story today.

Episode highlights:


How understanding your identity drives transformation.


Why small, intentional changes lead to lasting growth.


Practical strategies to overcome perfectionism and self-doubt.

“When I think about changing your story, it's about suddenly being aware of all of these characters, this setting, this scene, this story, the beginning and the end, and saying, actually, I want something new."
Kira [05:32]

“Perfectionists avoid trying to do something the first time because they’re attempting to navigate that inner critic - that’s so out of control."
Kira [24:25]

“Co-working spaces have been really good for me—being around people who are also self-employed—because otherwise it’s so isolating, and you do feel like you’re wrong."
Emma [42:12]
