Join Hummingbird Wealth Management founder, Laura Johnson, as she cheerfully highlights the joy of setting intentions for resolutions that truly inspire positive change in your future. Many of us gear up for New Year's resolutions, only to find ourselves feeling a bit defeated by February because we set lofty goals or lengthy lists that might be too ambitious.

In this podcast, Laura kindly encourages us to reflect playfully, asking what brought us happiness over the past year, what gave us peace, and what caused a bit of financial or emotional stress. Resolutions are about becoming aware—seeing what lifted us up and what held us back—so we can happily adjust our goals as we go.

Laura invites us to set meaningful goals by asking, "What feeling am I chasing?" and to think about how these goals make us feel emotionally.

Join Laura on this warm, fun journey and start to feel more genuine and upbeat about your resolutions.

The holidays can be the most wonderful yet most stressful times of the year. Between gifts, gatherings, and travel, many of us experience emotional and financial stress. We are bombarded with images of what the holidays and good gift giving look like—perfectly wrapped presents, matching pajamas, and gifts that make their eyes light up!

Our host, Laura, emphasizes that generosity is not reflected in the price tags of the gifts you give. She encourages us to ask, "What do we want our giving to say?" She shares three gift-giving guidelines: give gifts that are meaningful, useful, and joyful. These can be as simple as a note, a framed photo, or a homemade treat. For Laura, she just wants time with those she loves.

And when the holidays are over, what do people remember the most? It's usually the moments spent together, not the things received. Laura encourages us to set boundaries and to remember that a good holiday budget is not about restriction, but about honoring your own goals. Being the hummingbird means doing what we can, with what we have and where we are.

Let peace, not pressure, guide your spending this holiday season.

Some people are born planners—they've got color-coded calendars, vision boards, goal lists, and more. Planning is powerful; it helps you live a purposeful and peaceful life by giving you control over your life. But remember, happiness and connections can't always be scheduled. Like a hummingbird, pause, hover, rest—don't rush. Move with intention.

Laura Johnson, our inspiring host, shares tips to keep you balanced, not just busy—like leaving open space in your schedule for some 'me-time' or quiet moments. These times are your secret weapons for creativity, clarity, and peace. Balance doesn't mean doing everything; it means doing what matters most. Her advice for planners? Start your week with purpose, sprinkle in some joy, and end your day with a moment to reflect. For the free spirits, set 1 or 2 gentle guideposts for your future. And always remember: don't live to plan—plan to live.

Stay fabulous, stay balanced, and make every moment count!

She emphasizes the incredible strength found in a supportive community of women and men who stand beside her every step of the way.

Laura shares that she kick-started her planning journey at the incredible age of 3, helping her family, proving that starting young can set you up for greatness. She emphasizes that planning is not just a task—it's a superpower, a way to take control of your destiny.
