In this episode, we’re peeling back the curtain on why so many high-achieving professional women feel "broke" despite making a great salary. We start with the story of Mark and Sarah—a family who received a raise but found themselves more stressed than ever just three months later.
What we’re diving into today:
The Bank Trap: Why debt-to-income ratios ignore the reality of braces, aging parents, and your actual dreams.
The Hidden Tax: Why debt costs significantly more than just interest (and how it robs you of your presence at the beach).
The 5-Question Audit: A practical framework to run any purchase through before you sign on the dotted line.
Client Victory: How one busy mom used the 2-Line Budget to fund a $1,500 bathroom remodel in cash.
Stop asking the bank for permission and start asking your future self.
