In today's episode, I walk you through how to normalize detours, reassess your financial foundation, and realign your plan with the season of life you're actually in, not the one you thought you'd be in.

    Episode 460: The Call No Parent Wants to Get: The Day I Learned What Freedom Really Means
    Jan 7 2026
    Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In this episode, I share the story of a call from my son's school that changed my day in an instant and what it taught me about real wealth, freedom, and being present for what matters most. I reflect on what real wealth looks like, not in bank accounts or net worth, but in the freedom to stop, respond, and be present when life happens. I also talk about why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom as a roadmap and guide, and how the new paperback edition includes a bonus chapter to help navigate unexpected detours, setbacks, and uncertainty. This episode is about presence, perspective, and the true meaning of financial freedom and it's a reminder that your journey is yours, detours and all. In this episode I share: Freedom isn't just financial it's the ability to make choices when life happens.Real wealth is the flexibility to be present for what truly matters.Your financial journey is a roadmap, not a rigid plan detours are part of the process.Life happens. You're not failing. You're living.

  • Episode 457: What My Recent Trip to Jamaica Reminded Me About Wealth, Gratitude, and Resilience

    Episode 457: What My Recent Trip to Jamaica Reminded Me About Wealth, Gratitude, and Resilience
    Dec 17 2025
    In this solo episode, I reflect on a deeply personal trip back to my home island of Jamaica following a devastating hurricane. What began as a planned celebration for my younger sister's 30th birthday became a powerful homecoming filled with mixed emotions, difficult decisions, and meaningful moments of family, service, and reflection. I share the internal debate I faced about whether to still travel after the storm, how I ultimately decided to go, and what the experience revealed to me about community, resilience, gratitude, and wealth beyond money. From being reunited with all my siblings in one place, to giving back through supplies and local spending, to leaning on my village back home as a mother of three, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom is meant to support a full, connected life. In this episode, I discuss: How leaning on my village at home made it possible for me to travel as a working motherWhat visiting my father and grandfather's gravesite stirred emotionally and spirituallyWhy supporting Jamaican-owned businesses felt especially important during recoveryHow giving back without performing it publicly shifted my perspective on service + more Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your copy of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.Apply to Share Your Journeyer Story, here.Join the Journey to Launch Book Club to dive deeper into financial freedom with guided discussions and resources here!Join The Weekly Newsletter List to get updates, deals & more!Leave Your Journey To Financial Freedom a review!Get The Budget BootcampCheck out my personal website here.Leave me a voicemail– Leave me a question on the Journey To Launch voicemail and have it answered on the podcast!YNAB – Start managing your money and budgeting so that you can reach your financial dreams.
