Let's talk about 2023 goals. What are mine, how did I come up with these goals and how am I prioritizing things? As a person who is autistic, bipolar, and possibly/most likely ADHD I have had a love hate relationship with goal setting and I wanted to sit down and talk about that, how I measure success, and failure these days and what specifically my goals are. I hope that in listening to this you can sit down and set some realistic goals for yourself and all that comes with that! 

I've spent the last two years creating and emphasizing the importance of boundaries. One of the hardest parts of creating and managing boundaries is when we have to communicate a new boundary and we get pushback from the person in question. Today I'm going to talk about a situation I just came up against and how I managed it and my hope is through that story you can find the courage to create and hold your boundary in a way that is respectful for all parties involved...I have been on the receiving end of someone being incredibly rude regarding a boundary they had put into place and I just don't want to be that person if that makes sense. 

We are going to talk about some of the struggles of budgeting as an entrepreneur, what starting the candle business has meant for my finances, and how i'm planning for the next few months and prioritizing my funds. 

Sometimes in life we make changes and then realize that we have made a mistake. That happened. Let's talk more about mistakes and why i'm changing the name back to Find You Fall In Love. Thank you for your patience with me as I mess up and learn from my mistakes. Deep love to you all! 

You know the should's...i should eat healthy, i should exercise, i should go on dates, i should journal...all those things and all that pressure we place on ourselves to do the self care, while being a good human, while trying to be healthy, while raising a family...oh and work...sheesh! You get the idea but no wonder our mental health is in the toilet. Today I want to give you a reframe and help you unpack some of that.

Today I wanted to connect and look back to where we started and talk about all the awesome things I want to do with this podcast. What lies ahead for our future together. We are moving toward a name change, finally, that I think will absolutely align with, not only where we came from and continue to find ourselves, but also where we are going. I'm going to leave all the old podcasts in here but a name change is coming in the next week. Budgets and boundaries will allow new people to know that this podcast isn't about relationships - well it is to a degree but that's not our main topic and will allow me to talk about more things I'm passionate about - like becoming financially independent myself and helping other women to become so as well. I hope you'll hang about but if you find yourself disconnected from this venture I wish you all of the best in your podcast travels and hope maybe you'll come back around someday. 

I know we started this conversation a few months back but things have gotten real now and I have worked so much on the shame and other money mindset stuff that was holding me back. Ready to follow along?

Today we are going to talk about a struggle I've been having in my life. Do we move somewhere where my principles are upheld and well regarded...or do we move somewhere where I will feel good most of the time. 

Today near the end of pride month i want to talk about courage and what being an ally really looks like and how that could help the youth of today find themselves quicker and fall in love with themselves easier. My hope is that it will inspire you to help save the life of a youth or young adult. The world we live in right now is incredibly scary. Helping others feel safe is the easiest thing to do to preserve life and foster a better world.
