  Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: that usually brings you deep dives, het takes Money, diaries,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and the occasional chaotic rant. But today, my friend, it
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: is just you and me and we're doing something a
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: little bit different because it's the end of the year
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and if you're anything like me, this time feels big, emotional,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: maybe a little bit sparkly, a little bit exhausting, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: somehow like you're meant to have your life completely sorted
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: by December thirty one, and honestly, really, honestly, most of
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: us do not. So today, my friend, is not a
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: lesson or a recap or a list of goals that
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: you should think about setting. It's a bit of a
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: moment to exhale together, a moment to kind of slow
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the pace, a moment to close a chapter very softly,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a moment to remind you that this year it was
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: never wasted, even if it didn't look like the one
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: that you planned on the first of January. Because here's
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the thing, and I say that a lot. Here's the thing,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: my friend, nobody's year goes to plan. Ever, nobody's spreadsheet
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: actually survives all twelve months perfectly, And if yours does,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: please call me and let me know how and why.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Nobody ends December feeling like, my goodness, I nailed every
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: single financial goal, every single relationship, every career milestone, every
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: goal that I set myself. I have slayed this year.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Even when you see someone doing their mood board recap
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and they make it look really pretty on Instagram. What
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: matters is that you made it through this year. Because
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: this year was hard, and I wanted to take a
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: moment and literally an entire podcast. I suppose to reflect
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: on that with you, because this year, you survived things
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that never made it into your camera role, things that
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: were really heavy, things that you didn't post on social
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: media about, things that you carried really quietly because that's
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: who you are, and you just didn't want to share,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: things that cost you emotional bandwidth that you didn't even
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: know that you were spending at the time. And now
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: it feels like it's come back to bite you. And
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I need you to hear me when I say all
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: of that counts, and do you know what? So do
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: all the little things the morning that you got up
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: when you really didn't want to and meet either Queen,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the bills you paid even though you were so stressed
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: about money, all of those nights that you stayed up
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: worrying about somebody that you love or something that you're
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: wildly passionate about, the work that you did that nobody
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: ever said thank you for those appointments that you made,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: or those appointments that you kept rescheduling or the appointments
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that you actually finally went to, the budgeting attempts that
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: you didn't stick with, But I feel like it taught
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: you something. Anyway, days that you chose rest when you
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: were scared it might make you look and feel really lazy.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm really proud of you for the boundaries that you set,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: or the boundaries that you tried to set, even if
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: your voice shook, and the courage it took you to
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: genuinely just keep going, my friend. Maybe you didn't save
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: as much as you'd hoped this year. Maybe you dipped
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: into an emergency fund and that makes you feel not
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: so good. Maybe you had a setback that knocks your confidence,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and maybe maybe you felt like you were just starting
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: again again. That doesn't actually make you behind, though. Small
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: steps in the right direction are still steps, and that
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: makes you human, and honestly, it makes you so flipping brave.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing so many people, especially on social media at
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the moment, talking about this year like it was a checklist,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: like it should be measured in milestones and achievements. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: life is not, and never will be checklists. Life happens
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: in the middle bits, the moments where nothing looked glamorous,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: but you were still quietly building resilience. You were learning,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you were healing, then you were on learning, and you
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: were also adapting. And you know what, you didn't film
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: any of that. None of that shows up in a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: highlights reel. But it shapes your entire life. It shapes
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: who you are, who you're becoming, It shapes who I'm becoming.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Imagine how different you'd feel if, instead of judging yourself
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: on what you didn't achieve this year, you acknowledged that
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: you carried everything, You held everything together, you made it
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: at work. The weight of the world on your shoulders
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: was not too heavy. Imagine if you gave yourself the
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: same compassion that you would give your best friend. Because
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I promise you, she would never ever ever talk to
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you the way that you talk to yourself in your head.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: She wouldn't say your year was wasted. She wouldn't literally
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: never even think about telling you that you were behind.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: She doesn't think you are. She wouldn't say that you
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: should have done more. You know what she'd say, She'd
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: say exactly what I would say. She'd say, I saw
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: how hard this year was for you, and you still
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: showed up. You legend, And that's exactly what I'm saying
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to you right now. This year was not about wins
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and losses. It was about the invisible work that you
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: did just to keep going, the boundaries that you set,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the boundaries that you really try hard to keep, the
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: habits that you tried, the moments that you chose rest
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: over burnout, the time that you said no even though
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you were very scared you were terrified, or that you
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: felt like you were disappointing someone, and the relationships you protected,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: maybe even the relationships you walked away from. The clarity
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: that you gained, the softness that you rediscovered, the parts
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: of yourself that you have ultimately outgrown in the last
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: twelve months, the parts of yourself that you feel like
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: you might have come home to now. I want you
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: to try something with me, bear with me, please, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: maybe entertain me on this one. I want you to
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: think of just one thing from this year that you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: are personally proud of. Maybe it's not an obvious thing,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: not maybe something that goes on a CV, but like
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: a quiet thing. Maybe it's the moment where you showed
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: yourself strength or softness or honesty or maybe even courage,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: even if nobody else noticed, have you got it? I
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: want you to hold onto it. Maybe you pause the
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: podcast and have a little bit of a think about it,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: because that thing is is proof that growth doesn't always
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: look like a milestone. Sometimes it's just choosing yourself in
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: a tiny moment that maybe nobody else noticed, but you did,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and that's what contributed to your growth. I really hope
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: you can find something that you can grasp onto that's
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: going to give you enough space to let that moment
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: rise to the surface, because those quiet winds matter, honestly,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: so much more than you realize. They're the things that
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: build your confidence really slowly, not in the loud, instagrammable ways,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: but in the quiet rewiring of how you personally treat yourself.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Something else I want you to hear before this year
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: ends is when January rolls around, you don't need to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: reinvent yourself. You do not need a color coded plan
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. You don't need to become a brand
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: new person at midnight. You don't suddenly become worthy because
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: of calendar resets. You are worthy, You were always worthy.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You get to grow at the pace that feels kind.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: You get to choose a soft little rece If you
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: want to reset at all, you get to take one tiny,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: intentional step instead of trying to change your whole life
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: in one goal. That's silly. Maybe for you, next year
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: isn't about major overhaul. Maybe it won't be dramatic or
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: esthetic or goal heavy. Maybe next year is about steadiness.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's about consistency or rebuilding your confidence slowly, or
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: maybe finding your joy again, because that's what it's going
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: to be for me. Future you doesn't need you to
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: be perfect next year. She doesn't need you to hustle
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: yourself into exhaustion, I promise. She doesn't need you to
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: have absolutely everything sortered. You know what she needs. She
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: just needs you to keep showing up, to keep caring,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: to keep trying in whatever capacity you have. And you've
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: already done that. You've already proven that you can do
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: that because you made it through this year, every single
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: little messy bit, every surprise cost, every unexpected life tea tour,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: every I'm just really doing my best or I'm trying
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: to do my mess moment. And before we wrap up
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: as well, I just I really want to say thank you,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: thank you for being here, thank you for trusting me
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: with your money stories, your fears, your dreams, your winds,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: your unhinged Instagram messages. I love them. Thank you for
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: listening on your commute or your walk, or you hide
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: from the kids in the pantry while you're eating the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: snacks you told them you didn't have. Thank you for
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: letting this community be part of your life. This community
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: is the heart of literally everything I do. And I'm
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: just I'm so incredibly grateful for you. And just so
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm not going anywhere in January. We are here,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: we are with you. We're not hitting pause, we're not
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: having a podcast break, We're not disappearing because we believe
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: in you as you are. You are learning, you are growing, healing,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: trying rebuilding, becoming more confident with every conversation and every
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: small decision. Everything that my team and I create next
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: month and every month after is centered around you feeling confident,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: You're feeling supported, and you being empowered with your money. But,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: my friend, it's not in a pressure filled way, but marena, grounded,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: real life. I've got your back, my friend away. So

• 10:25
  Speaker 3: taught you every single thing you survived, every single thing
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: you navigated, everything you learned about who you are and

  Speaker 3: what you value. And I am so unbelievably proud of you.
