Balancing budget and boujie: The Comments Section with Emma + Victoria

5/6/2024
Grab an $18 green smoothie, lounge on your million-dollar sun lounge, and get comfortable as we dip our toes into the delicate balance between budget and boujie. We explore the nuances of spending habits, including the Price Per Wear/Use method and how it doesn’t apply to every purchases. Have you experienced the social stigma associated with using vouchers or coupons, and the pressure to maintain appearances? We’re sharing personal experiences and struggles with confronting financial judgments from others. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to managing money. What’s important is understanding your personal values and finding a balance that aligns with your individual lifestyles - financial growth and self-awareness are ongoing processes! Let us know on socials how you balance out your boujie-ness!

Embracing your personal money brand for future growth

5/1/2024
What’s the connection between personal branding and financial management? Drawing from my own evolving personal brand, I highlight the power of aligning your money habits with your personal values. Personal branding is a holistic representation of who you are and what you stand for, extending beyond just your career and the number on your payslip. From transforming money habits to expanding the financial window, I’m giving you some actionable strategies to take control of your financial narrative. Like with any goal, sometimes there are sacrifices you have to make, and I’m taking you through the importance of strategic sacrifice in achieving financial goals, and how you can make intentional trade-offs that resonate with your personal brand. Have a listen and check out my Piping Hot Goal Setting Power Pack to help you along on what I’m dubbing ‘Project You’, or you can order my book, Good with Money! Also mentioned: Lifestyle creep vs lifestyle elevation episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1KWXW0JzfPJJxxLc1qTxO8?si=pJ2zhpU7RuSl1Kmf9dJAeA Episode highlights: “Getting to know yourself is an act of financial empowerment." Emma [04:32] “The degree to which you engage with your personal brand is really just the degree to which you’re taking control of what the outcome is going to be." Emma [20:40] “Sacrifice is often the forgotten tool of our finances, and I think that when we are more considered and we do entertain how we can use sacrifice to accelerate where we’re going with our finances and do that in a way that is aligned with our personal money brand, we can grow."

How to stop pulling money out of your savings

4/17/2024
Putting money into savings and then pulling it right back out again is a common financial glitch we experience. We are not all born financially savvy or natural savers. We are not naturally inclined towards delayed gratification and saving. However, pulling money out of our savings for whatever reason is one of those things that hold us back, but when we work on stopping this behaviour from happening in the long run, it can propel us much faster toward our goals. Pulling money out of our savings is not caused by the same circumstance or mechanism, and it is worth paying attention to what is happening at different points in your finances to cultivate your financial confidence and autonomy over your money. In this episode, your host, Emma, shares more about savings and how to stop pulling money out of your savings. It's a common misconception that the main cause of our savings failures is pulling money out of our savings. In reality, the problem lies in our initial approach to saving, where we tend to put away excessive amounts. We end up over-saving and attempting to do more than we can. Listen in and get the tools to help you shift your perspective and approach to what fits your finances. Tune in! Episode Highlights: Standout Quotes: “When we put money into savings and pull it back out again, we are kicking ourselves and our financial mindsets in a financial gap and hurting ourselves.”If you try to do the right thing too hard, if you try to budget too hard or attempt achieve more than it's realistically possible, you are setting yourself out for failure.“When you are pulling money out of your savings emotionally, you are taking money from the future you to change your emotional state in the present; you are choosing now over later but the antidote is making tomorrow more attractive than today.” Looking ahead for banana skins is one of those big hard hitters that is going to drastically change the sense of control that you feel you have over your finances and give you much more autonomy on where your money goes because you have that confidence that you have looked ahead and you are aware of what is coming up. Understanding how to balance your scales out and prioritise your way to financial confidence is valuable.

The self care fallacy – buying "self care" but we're still not cared for: The Comments Section Emma & Victoria

4/15/2024
Take a deep breath in… and out… ok now you’re ready for this week's comments section! We’re diving into the real deal of self-care beyond the pretty pictures on social media. We’re talking about how we really make self-care work in our daily lives - from nifty apps that keep us zen to those little life hacks. But hang on, we’re also getting real about how self-care’s become a bit of a shopping spree. Are we actually nurturing ourselves or just splashing cash to feel good? We’re peeling back the layers on what self-care means and spotting the difference between quick fixes and the real thing that gives us a deeper kind of chill. And, because we love getting into the nitty-gritty, we’re asking the tough questions about why we resort to these self-care 'buys'. Is it genuinely soothing us or just patching up bigger issues? From psychological insights on why we shop when we're down, to simple truths like, maybe we need to treat ourselves like a toddler to figure out what we really need, this episode is your call to rethink self-care. Don’t forget, we want to hear from you too! Drop into our socials and share how you’re keeping it real with self-care.

How to become a hot b*tch with money

3/27/2024
In this episode, I'm sharing insights into my approach to managing my finances - what I like to call being a "hot b*tch" with money. I break down six key steps to master this mindset with confidence, and a touch of sass. On the fun side, it’s things like crafting a budget that fits your life, not the other way around. On the other hand, it’s tricker things like critically reviewing your spending habits that eventually help you to be more in control and aware of your financial standing. Working these tips into your finances can help you step away from autopilot and into financial empowerment and confidence. Here's to embracing our inner "hot b*tch" and conquering our financial goals in 2024 and beyond! Episode highlights: “A hot b*tch does what she says she's going to do... By setting and keeping promises to yourself and actually following through on them, that is where we become a hot b*tch with money." Emma [03:49] “Having a payday routine is the perfect way to do the things that you say you're going to do." Emma [05:59] “Treat every aspect of your finances as data... Seeing everything as data neutralises it. It doesn't make it about you and it helps you move forward."

The Comment Section is back for another juicy ep! This week we’re talking luxury money sh*t, and the link between consumerism and self-perception. With Soho House's expansion into Sydney, we dissected the allure and exclusivity surrounding the global members' club, and its lavish amenities and strict membership criteria. We also compared our experience in purchasing a designer bag and explored the complex dynamics of prestige and personal expression tied to these luxury items. Beyond bags, we look at the broader questions surrounding luxury purchases, and their true value, both monetarily and emotionally. Join us as we unravel the complexities of luxury living, membership culture, and the quest for belonging in an ever-evolving society.

What's it like to spend again after a year-long wardrobe freeze?

3/20/2024
Buying clothes again after a full year of not buying ANY... what's that like?! Well gang, I'm taking you inside my brain. Being back in the big wide world outside of my challenge bubble (I didn't buy any clothes in 2023) has been humbling. While I learned so much last year and completely fell in love with my existing wardrobe, having the option of buying again has been more difficult to navigate than I expected. In this episode, I take you through how I'm approaching solidifying my new approach to my wardrobe in the real world, the mistakes I've made now I'm buying again, and the challenges I've faced in trying to decide how to buy going forward. I also dive into the decision fatigue that comes with deciding whether something is worth buying, and discuss how I plan to achieve the sense of peace I experienced during the year-long challenge, but without never buying. I hope you enjoy this chatty episode, thanks so much for listening.

What’s your relationship like with your money? Are you an awesome, supportive friend? A lazy roommate? Maybe you’re more of a strict and toxic boss? This episode I’m helping you to understand if you’re in a toxic relationship with your money, and what you can do to improve it. It’s essential to understand your financial behaviours and why you do what you do when it comes to making financial choices.

By fostering a healthier mindset and environment around money, you can empower yourself to make better financial decisions. Episode highlights: “When we're talking about an unhealthy relationship with money that can look like lots of negative feelings around money, it can look like avoidance, it can look like overspending, it can look like underspending." Emma [02:48] “A healthy relationship with money looks like having a sense of peace around money. It doesn't mean that that's sitting there thinking everything's perfect, because I actually don't think that anybody ever gets to that point with money." Emma [03:51] “Where might your environment, whether that is the people you're around, the places you're around, your physical environment, your routines, your habits, your home, your norms, your standards… Where might those things be upholding your negative relationship with money?"

Financial red flags in a relationship, with Respect Victoria

3/6/2024
Content warning: This episode discusses topics of family violence and financial abuse. In this episode, I talk with Serina McDuff, the acting CEO of Respect Victoria, shedding light on recognising early signs of financial abuse in relationships. Our conversation explores the need for open dialogue about finances, challenging societal norms, and fostering communication to create safe and consensual financial dynamics. These conversations can be with your own partner, family members and friends, and they are so essential. Serina emphasises that financial abuse can affect anyone, regardless of financial stability, and the importance of being proactive in understanding and addressing these issues. Throughout our discussion, Serina also provides valuable insights into creating consensual and safe financial arrangements within relationships. Episode highlights: “The broader societal expectations and sort of traditional gender roles that many of us have grown up with and many that continue to be entrenched today that can be the context for family violence." Serina [09:57] “It's totally okay to have a joint bank account, you know, but at the same time we would say, hang on to a bank account of your own." Serina [24:45] “You might have different views and you might sort of disagree, but you should be able to kind of navigate that the way that we do in healthy relationships where you agree to disagree or you don't feel unsafe in those conversations, you're just trying to work out what you should do as a couple."

That is what I, you know, focus on the most for getting good with money to getting you from Hot Mess Express to feeling financially confident." Emma [18:56] “I could not write a book in 2024 that does not address the importance of understanding how to grow your money, how to, you know, go beyond having savings, what to do when you've got all your emergency fund and everything sorted out, growing your money long into the future and looking at that more wealth creation, stability, preservation side of things." Emma [21:11] “We're programmed to join the masses to survive, like following the crowd who are running from a predator. If you lose the pack, you die. But now let's think about our financial behaviour. To what extent are we mirroring the norms of others around us, or outsourcing the appropriateness of our financial decisions to what others are doing?" Emma [24:53] Loved what you heard?

Is it time to raise your money standards?

2/14/2024
Inspired by my friend Peta's podcast episode on setting standards in business (go listen if you're a business owner), today's quickie episode gets you thinking about the standards you're living by with your own personal finances. The habits we engage with create standards that we live by, and interrogating these standards can help us get out of our own way and start living to our full potential. We explore the standards you might be accepting in your finances, and how you can look at raising your standards to get more out of your money and the way you experience the financial side of life. Your challenge after this episode is to live your life as normal for one week, and look at the standards you're allowing into your personal finances. Are you making things harder for yourself by choosing immediate enjoyment over longer term goals? Are you kind of addicted to the chaos of starting over every month? Are you so used to having your value dictated by a salary you're not happy with that it's become part of what you accept as standard? This one will get you thinking.
