As 2024 comes to a close, you might be reflecting on your financial goals and the progress you've made. Many people view progress as a linear checklist of milestones to hit, but regaining control over your finances is far from straightforward. Focusing only on the end goal is discouraging, and that creates a mindset that is unsustainable for lasting change, especially when it comes to how you think and feel about money.
In this episode, I encourage you to reframe how you view your financial journey and the progress you've achieved this year. I'll discuss why the linear approach to progress can be limiting and introduce you to my lily-pad progress method, which leads to more sustainable success. Often, it's easy to overlook the small steps and skills you've gained, but those incremental behavioral shifts are fundamental to generating lasting change.
Take a moment to consider what you can do now that you couldn't do just a week, month, or quarter ago. Celebrate your wins and recognize how far you've come on your financial journey.
Listen in to learn more about the lily pad progress approach and hear about these key topicsā¦
[01:36] Pitfalls of using a linear approach to tracking progress

My five-month coaching container isn't about achieving perfection. Some clients treat financial growth like a checklist, trying to rush through it. However, if you approach your relationship with money with the intention to get it done as quickly as possible, you're missing out on developing lasting money habits that will serve you in the long run.
In today's episode, I dive into the concept of a money pause. A money pause is an opportunity to ask yourself why you are making a financial decision. Every choice has both intended and unintended consequences. When you're overwhelmed by fear and anxiety about money, you act impulsively and don't consider the broader financial impact of a quick purchase on Amazon or using your entire bonus to pay off credit card debt.
As a financial coach, my goal is to help you shift your habits. By pausing to think about why you are making a decision, you can regain control of your finances and achieve goals faster. Ready to start making intentional decisions about your finances? Tune in to learn how to implement a money pause the next time you feel pressured to make a financial decision.
I explain what a money pause is and how to use one effectively, hitting on these key topicsā¦
[05:50] Power of a money pause: paying the wrong credit card
[10:18] Intended vs. unintended consequences of financial decisions
[14:23] Disrupting the āIāll figure it outā mentality

What are you going to do with your next bonus? If your answer is to pay down debt, this episode is for you!
Today, I discuss why you shouldnāt use your bonus to pay off debt. Instead, use that extra income in a more meaningful way that will help you stop needing to utilize debt to cover unexpected (or YOLO) expenses.
Using your bonus to clear debt might give you temporary relief, but you need to understand why you are in debt to avoid being right back in debt by the end of the year. Paying down your debt should be a part of a strategic plan that is not promoted by a large bonus.
I coach my clients to use their bonuses to build a safety fund. Safety funds help you prepare for future expenses so youāre not left swiping your credit card.
Tune into hear why you shouldnāt use your next bonus to pay down debt and learn what to do with it instead:
[01:40] How paying off debt leaves you vulnerable
[03:18] Observing spending habits
[06:19] Debt pay off plan
[07:09] Build your safety fund

Why was it easier to budget when you made less money?
When you were barely making enough to get by, you were really good at budget - but you also created an invisible scarcity mindset around your finances. Food, water, and shelter were the most important things to you. Once you start earning more, that feeling of scarcity doesnāt just go away. Everyone has deep-seated emotions about money, and for many, spending fills a void and so the budgeting conversation has to shift when you go from making $30,000 to $100,000 to $200,000.
In todayās episode, I discuss the complexities of high-income budgeting. From understanding different types of spending needs to learning what to do with extra money after the bills are paid, I encourage you to take a different approach to managing your finances so you can let go of the scarcity mentality and shame, and start aligning your budget with your goals and have more money for what you want.
Tune in now to explore why it is more challenging to budget as you make more money and learn:
[01:30] Why budgeting was easier when you made less money.
[04:42] Why more money = more comfort
[07:36] Basic needs vs. emotional needs
[11:54] What to do with āextraā money
[16:30] Why your goals should anchor your budget
Tune into this episode of Money Files to learn why it is more challenging to budget when you make more money and how to overcome a scarcity mindset.
