What's your "silent dream" and are you ready to address it? With Tash Etschmann [RETREAT SPECIAL]

Episode 252

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 • Duration 28:00

Welcome to a 3-part mini series to celebrate our upcoming retreat in partnership with Yogable, The Money Sleepover this June! In episode one, we're giving you a taster of the types of money conversations we'll be having at the retreat and the type of vibe you can expect, by discussing the concept of a "silent dream". You know, that thing you always kinda wanted to do but think it's too late or that it'll never happen.

Highlights:

What is a "silent dream" and how do we uncover ours?
The things people regret not doing when they reach end of life
Time is passing – why don't we act?
The comfort zone of missed opportunity

The Money Sleepover is the ultimate women's financial wellness retreat, with all the fun of a sleepover from your youth, but for grown ups. Think: private chef, a sauna, yoga sessions, mindful crafts, facilitated money conversations and empowering finance workshops to help you live a life of joy and purpose.

We have a handful of spots left for the retreat, so get yourself booked in here: https://www.yogablewellbeing.com/themoneysleepover

Explanations versus excuses

Episode 242

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 • Duration 25:27

In this episode, I dive into the critical difference between explanations and excuses when it comes to our financial situations. I explore how identifying this difference can transform our money mindset, help us take meaningful action, and prevent future regrets. By learning to shift from excuse-making to explanation-seeking, we can break through psychological barriers and create genuine financial progress.

Episode Highlights:

Explanations vs. Excuses: I break down how explanations clarify with facts and context, while excuses shift responsibility and provide psychological comfort that ultimately holds us back.
The Self-Employment Example: I share my personal tendency to use "I'm self-employed, so it's harder" as an excuse, and how transforming this into an explanation creates actionable pathways forward.
Four Questions to Identify Excuses: I provide a framework to determine if you're making excuses or giving explanations, including asking if it's specific, if there's a way forward, if you'll stand by it in five years, and if there's anything you're not telling yourself.
The Future Self Perspective: I discuss how our future selves will thank us for turning excuses into explanations that we can act upon, rather than letting opportunities pass us by.
Life's Regrets: I reference Bronnie Ware's "Top Five Regrets of the Dying" to highlight how excuse-making can lead to unfulfilled dreams and missed opportunities for meaningful connections.

What you will learn:

How to differentiate between legitimate explanations and limiting excuses in your financial life
Practical techniques to transform your excuses into explanations that enable action
Why psychological comfort from excuses can lead to long-term regret
How to balance accepting real financial challenges while still moving forward

Manifesting and being delulu, how much is too much? The Comments Section with Emma and Victoria

Episode 154

Monday, May 13, 2024 • Duration 24:52

This week we’re cutting through the delulu about manifestation, money beliefs, and the practicalities of financial growth. Dissecting the difference between productive manifestation and delusional thinking, we’re emphasising the necessity of putting in the work to achieve your goals. It’s important to adopt a balanced approach, and recognise that while manifestation can set the stage for progress, it has to be accompanied by proactive steps towards your goals. We also look at societal influences on money beliefs, particularly for women across different generations and the generational shifts currently happening in attitudes towards financial autonomy.

This episode isn’t a gloomy take-down of manifestation, but an encouragement to think more critically about your attitude to ‘making this happen’. If this episode has got you curious about how you can add manifestation into you life, check out this episode Emma did with Kira Matthews: https://thebrokegeneration.com/blog/episodes/a-no-bs-guide-to-manifestation-with-kira-matthews-recast/?portfolioCats=362

Don’t forget to let us know your thoughts on our socials, and also let us know what else you’d like us to discuss in the comments section!

7 things you need to make progress with money in 2024

Episode 153

Wednesday, May 8, 2024 • Duration 45:52

Feeling stuck in your financial journey without a clue on how to move forward? Don't worry, you're in good hands! Today, I'm dishing out 7 essential principles to jumpstart your path to better finances this year. Whether it's reclaiming time for your passions or ditching the anxiety over looming bills, these steps may seem small but they pack a punch. Embracing progress, no matter how modest, paves the way for greater achievements down the line.

Have a listen and check out another episode which you may find helpful, Is it time to raise your money standards? You can also check out a heap of resources I’ve put together here.

Episode highlights:

Establish some form of financial structure for effective money management, whether it's through detailed budgeting or broader categorisation.
Allow yourself the flexibility to spend on certain indulgences within your budget, this can help maintain motivation and prevent feelings of restriction
Visualise your long-term goals and the person you want to become can make short-term sacrifices less daunting.

“[Have] some money set aside that you do not touch. Whether that is $100, whether it is $1,000, whether it is $10,000, a really good way to up your money standards and increase your commitment to what you're trying to do is getting used to having money in your possession that you do not touch."
Emma [19:54]

“Building in a break with your financial behaviour and financial goals before you feel like you need it can actually renew your motivation."
Emma [35:14]

“You need breaks from being perfect with money."
Emma [34:31]

Balancing budget and boujie: The Comments Section with Emma + Victoria

Episode 152

Monday, May 6, 2024 • Duration 38:44

Grab an $18 green smoothie, lounge on your million-dollar sun lounge, and get comfortable as we dip our toes into the delicate balance between budget and boujie. We explore the nuances of spending habits, including the Price Per Wear/Use method and how it doesn’t apply to every purchases.

Have you experienced the social stigma associated with using vouchers or coupons, and the pressure to maintain appearances? We’re sharing personal experiences and struggles with confronting financial judgments from others.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to managing money. What’s important is understanding your personal values and finding a balance that aligns with your individual lifestyles - financial growth and self-awareness are ongoing processes! Let us know on socials how you balance out your boujie-ness!

Lots of love,

Emma - in Chaos - Edwards, and Victoria ‘Fairy Bread’ Shakeshaft

Embracing your personal money brand for future growth

Episode 151

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 28:51

What’s the connection between personal branding and financial management? Drawing from my own evolving personal brand, I highlight the power of aligning your money habits with your personal values. Personal branding is a holistic representation of who you are and what you stand for, extending beyond just your career and the number on your payslip.

From transforming money habits to expanding the financial window, I’m giving you some actionable strategies to take control of your financial narrative. Like with any goal, sometimes there are sacrifices you have to make, and I’m taking you through the importance of strategic sacrifice in achieving financial goals, and how you can make intentional trade-offs that resonate with your personal brand.

Have a listen and check out my Piping Hot Goal Setting Power Pack to help you along on what I’m dubbing ‘Project You’, or you can order my book, Good with Money!

My personal evolution from chaotic spender to intentional money manager.
Broadening your financial perspective to unlock new possibilities and opportunities for financial growth.

“Getting to know yourself is an act of financial empowerment."
