The Broke GenerationEmma's Dilemma: how do I manage competing life priorities when everything feels messy?
Welcome back to Emma's Dilemma, where I take your dilemmas and answer them with piping hot advice on life and money. Today's dilemma is all about untangling that overwhelming feeling of having competing priorities and deciding which direction your life is going to go in next.
In this episode, we cover:
- "Holding space" for that feeling of overwhelm
- Addressing what we're avoiding by allowing the overwhelm to win
- A matrix for helping you plot out what matters most to you
- Turning that into an action plan for what's next.
