Feel good finance podcast, packed with frank and honest money conversations, and practical tips to help you be better with money.

The Broke Generation

Focus on what you WILL do, not what you WON'T do: SPEND-TEMBER

In today's episode, we're going down memory lane back to one of the early early episodes of the podcast for a book club-style chat about one of my all-time favourite reads, Atomic Habits by James Clear. This was episode ELEVEN of the show so do forgive my under-developed podcasting style in this episode, but it's still an enjoyable listen! 
Atomic Habits is about behaviour change in general, but it also contains helpful insights for reshaping how we approach money. Instead of going for that crash diet mindset - cutting everything out for a short-term win - this episode is all about making better financial habits a natural part of your day-to-day life. I break down Clear’s four laws of behaviour change - Make It Obvious, Make It Attractive, Make It Easy, and Make It Satisfying - and share practical ways to apply them to your financial world. Whether you’re looking to save more or spend smarter, this episode is packed with actionable tips and bite-sized wisdom to help you build lasting change. Perfect if you're ready to level up your money mindset!

Money lessons from Atomic Habits by James Clear (recast)

In this episode, I sit down with Jessie Leong, known as howifundthis on Instagram, to explore a common yet often overlooked financial struggle - money anxiety and the fear of spending. We discuss the challenges of hoarding money for security and how it affects those who identify more as savers rather than spenders. Jessie shares her personal journey, from growing up with the mindset of saving for a rainy day to grappling with the discomfort of parting with money. Together, we break down how to build a healthier, more balanced relationship with money, allowing for financial freedom without fear, shame, or anxiety.

Episode highlights:
Strategies to overcome money anxiety and scarcity mindset.
The emotional challenges of being a natural saver.
How to find balance between saving and spending.

Overcoming money anxiety, with Jessie Leong

GIDDY UP cats and kittens, there's 25% of the year left and we're going to grab it with both hands and squeeze every last drop out of it. In this episode I'm taking you through a sexy little goal setting method to help you tease out some exciting goals for the rest of the year. Studies have shown that motivation is actually higher in September than in January, as you've less time to work with and the promise of a hard reset coming up. Don't just sit back and let the rest of 2024 pass you buy – let's move on your goals NOW and get a headstart on 2025. 

Highlights:
The four principles of goals according to goal setting theory
The GROW action plan
Inputs and outcomes
Actions and avoidances
Behavioural contracting

This is not your average goal setting episode – not a SMART goal in sight, I promise. You'll learn new techniques to tease out goals that matter to you, refine them, and then get to work on making them happen.
