The way you do one thing is the way you do everything. I used to not fully understand this saying, however, the farther I’ve gotten into this journey the more I’ve found this to be true. I believe that intentionality is contagious, and it spills over into everything that we do. When you start being intentional with one aspect of your life, you'll start a ripple effect with the rest of your life...almost like magic. 

Take my journey, for example, I started with Minimalism, then I grew into Budgeting, and then I continued to grow into self-love, starting a business, growing my hobbies, and so much more. 

 
 


In this episode, Sami talks about:

  • Why intentionality is contagious
  • Why the average millionaire reads 2 or more books per month
  • How her intentionality with Minimalism grew into Budgeting and then continued to grow into every single aspect of her life
  • Why this is NOT a light switch change, but instead, a journey

Memorable Quotes:

"It's a continuous cycle of growth, and pushing yourself, and intentionality in every single aspect of your life."

Most of us struggle with this concept very early in our lives, as we begin to understand complex topics and facts of life like class, race, and inequity. But how do we handle not being enough as adults when not reaching “enoughness” has real mental, physical and psychological ramifications? I also chat about different investing accounts, income limits and tax advantages, and where you can go online to start educating yourself about investing.

What Financial Trauma Is, Signs You May Be Experiencing It + How To Recover From Past Money Wounds

Being “trauma informed,” experiencing “childhood trauma,” or having a “trauma bonded” are phrases used repeatedly to describe certain pivotal and disturbing life experiences and/or mental distress. And while sometimes “trauma” is over exaggerated or used incorrectly, the current spotlight on this pervasive problem has brought, front-and-center, the need to explore it in greater depth. This leads to the question: what about trauma and money? Can you have financial PTSD? Can you experience financial trauma? How valid are these things… or are we, as a society, being dramatic when it comes to this pairing?
