In this episode of Become Your Own Boss, Monica flips the script on self-care. Instead of massages and meditation, she’s talking about the financial self-care every entrepreneur needs: retirement planning. Reflecting on a recent conversation with wealth expert John De Goey (Episode 272), Monica shares her own practices and insights on why investing in yourself—beyond your business—isn’t optional. She also breaks down two hot-button issues that could quietly chip away at your profits: tariffs and the government shutdown. If you’ve ever been tempted to reinvest every dollar back into your business, this episode is a must-listen wake-up call.
