In this episode, I explore how replacing a rigid financial map with a values-driven compass can transform the way you manage money. Rather than chasing fixed numbers and linear plans, I share why understanding your deeper values leads to better financial decisions — especially in a world where careers, costs, and life circumstances are constantly shifting.

Key takeaways:
Why rigid financial plans fail to account for real life changes
The difference between a financial "map" vs. a financial "compass"
How your values — not numbers — should guide your money decisions
The three types of money values: spending values, short-term priorities, and big-picture values
Why skipping the values work means you may reach your goals but still feel empty
How a compass approach helps you honour both present and future you along the way
