We often don't realize that one of the major things that can be holding us back in our finances is our money habits. Not just our spending habits, but also our habits around how we think about money. In this episode I'm sharing with you some habits that used to keep me stuck and the habits I have developed to move forward and create a financial future I never thought was possible back then.

I'm sharing:

• One payday habit that kept us from moving forward

• A thought pattern around money that had us stuck

• What finally helped me change my money habits

• The one thing that has really catapulted our financial life

Scripture verse:

Proverbs 21:5

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Takeaway: The goal isn't to create a perfect budget. The goal is to develop the habit of having a plan.

Waiting for your savings to grow and your debt to be paid off can be hard.

I remember the days of our financial lack when I thought we would never be able to take a vacation or go out to a fancy dinner. It was exhausting trying to wait on God with expectancy without yet seeing any evidence of financial abundance.

Waiting to reach your financial goals can be hard! Whether you're working toward paying off debt, building your savings or increasing your income, it's easy to get frustrated when things aren't happening as quickly as you'd like.

But the Bible says in Colossians that patience is the power to endure long suffering with a good temper.

We convince ourselves we should be further along with our money than we are and sometimes forget to celebrate how far we've already come.

Which is why I know this episode will hit home for you if you're in the season if waiting…

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why celebrating can be important to your momentum

• How practicing gratitude can help you find joy while waiting for financial progress

• How to stay encouraged when your financial progress feels painfully slow

• How small steps can lead to big financial change

• My personal story on just having $65 for spending money on our first vacation

If you have been in the season of waiting, and sometimes wonder if God is really moving, this is the episode for you.

Colossians 3:12

Clothe yourselves therefore as God's own who are purified and holy and well beloved (by God himself, by putting on behavior marked by by) tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways and patience (which is tireless and long suffering and has the power to endure whatever comes with good temper).

Takeaway: Waiting is part of the process.

There is something really special about building your personal financial plan with Jesus.

I remember the days of our financial lack. I was trying to build the budget myself without praying about it. It was a disaster. For some reason I felt like I didn't need to bring him along. Looking back, it would have made my life so much easier.

I spiraled trying to maneuver paying down debt, saving, spending, tracking, investing and all the things. And it wore me out.

Thank goodness I now know better. A short conversation with God can take a thousand pounds of weight off.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why spending 15 minutes a day with God can bring you more money peace

• The one thing I wish we'd done differently when we were struggling financially

• What my first question is when my client comes to me with a challenge & why

• How inviting faith into your financial decisions can bring peace when money feels overwhelming

When managing your money feels overwhelming and you don't know what to do next, remember you don't have to figure it all out alone. God is your constant companion.

Deuteronomy 31:6

The Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Takeaway: When you feel alone and it feels impossible, remember God is your constant companion.
