Before we begin on this wonderful journey of personal finance, a few things. Firstly, I have a Patreon page set up specifically so people can read these podcasts in article form, but there'll also be downloadable files, video tutorials and more. Simply because trying to explain a certain things through a podcast can be challenging and I have been requested to provide the spreadsheets I use, websites I frequent to assess housing and more. It's free to join and it's the perfect way for you to reach out and chat to me as well.

Let's get on with the episode.
If you've lived a life similar to mine which is reaching your late 20's and having no savings and possibly even being in debt, it can be challenging to start thinking positively or even believing it's possible to live a debt-free life where you're not constantly worried about finances.
Trust me though, it is possible because I've done it and so can you. Not only will I provide you with knowledge but I'll be your personal cheerleader. I'll wear the skirt if I have to. That's how committed I am to you.
Becoming financially positive after these setbacks is a lot like getting back into the dating game after having your heart broken. You're a little deflated, your hairs a mess, socks don't match, and you've lost belief that you'll find your Ryan Gosling or as it was in my case, my Rachel McAdams.
But finances, just like in dating don't get better just sitting on the couch. It's time to hit the gym, giving up the coke (coca cola I'm referring to, not the other kind), getting a haircut and quite simply going outside and getting some fresh air.
I'm serious, take the next 20 seconds and take the deepest 3 breaths of your life. I'll do them with you.
Close your eyes, stop what you're doing (Unless you're driving or holding a baby), and I'm serious take 3 deepest breaths you've ever taken in your life!!!
Through the nose, out the mouth. Let those shoulders drop.
Through the nose, out the mouth.
Through the nose, out the mouth.
Today is the day that the old you is no more. Built into our brains is a small lizard part known as the amigdala. It is remnants of our cave dwelling days where our goal was to search for food, find shelter, procreate, oh and that's right….NOT GET EATEN BY TIGERS AND BEARS!
Built into our brain is the fear that things will never change or that whatever we do attempt will fail and we'll make a fool of ourselves. It's time to tell that part of your brain, to go to hell. That you're in charge now and that no matter, we will conquer the road ahead.
This all starts by forgiving yourself. To forgive your parents for not teaching you. To forgive the schools for not training you. To forgive past managers and boss that didn't take care of you. This is all holding you back. It's keeping you in this state and it's time to break free.
All the decisions and experiences of that past that have lead you here, is now in the past. These emotions are holding you back from the future. It's like a crazy ex-girlfriend that just keeps texting you. It's time to block her number, change your address, change your name, move to Hawaii and grow a beard.
From this moment forward, we will be focused on learning. On discovery. On getting stronger and more capable. On building our confidence and courage so that we can live a life of joy, opportunity and colour.
3 deep breaths. That's all it takes. Let's go.
