In today's episode, we're going down memory lane back to one of the early early episodes of the podcast for a book club-style chat about one of my all-time favourite reads, Atomic Habits by James Clear. This was episode ELEVEN of the show so do forgive my under-developed podcasting style in this episode, but it's still an enjoyable listen!
Atomic Habits is about behaviour change in general, but it also contains helpful insights for reshaping how we approach money. Instead of going for that crash diet mindset - cutting everything out for a short-term win - this episode is all about making better financial habits a natural part of your day-to-day life. I break down Clear’s four laws of behaviour change - Make It Obvious, Make It Attractive, Make It Easy, and Make It Satisfying - and share practical ways to apply them to your financial world. Whether you’re looking to save more or spend smarter, this episode is packed with actionable tips and bite-sized wisdom to help you build lasting change. Perfect if you're ready to level up your money mindset!

GIDDY UP cats and kittens, there's 25% of the year left and we're going to grab it with both hands and squeeze every last drop out of it. In this episode I'm taking you through a sexy little goal setting method to help you tease out some exciting goals for the rest of the year. Studies have shown that motivation is actually higher in September than in January, as you've less time to work with and the promise of a hard reset coming up. Don't just sit back and let the rest of 2024 pass you buy – let's move on your goals NOW and get a headstart on 2025.

Highlights:

• The four principles of goals according to goal setting theory
• The GROW action plan
• Inputs and outcomes
• Actions and avoidances
• Behavioural contracting

This is not your average goal setting episode – not a SMART goal in sight, I promise. You'll learn new techniques to tease out goals that matter to you, refine them, and then get to work on making them happen.

Does your budget actually align with who you are? If you value freedom, autonomy and doing things your own way, shouldn't your budget reflect that too? Likewise, if you love structure, rules and boundaries, you can manage your money with this in mind, too. In this episode I talk through ways to understand your own personality, psychological profile and motivational style and how to apply that to your finances, in the context of 5 popular budgeting styles:

• Zero-based budget
• Reverse budget
• 50/30/20 budget
• Kakeibo
• Cash envelope budgeting
