#33: For years, I held onto my JCPenney credit card because I was afraid of what would happen to my credit score if I closed this account.
After lots of reflecting, I decided that I was too abundant to hold onto this card (that I only used when they threatened to close due to inactivity) solely because of fear.
Entonces que paso? Pues amiga, you'll have to tune in to find out.

#22: Are you actually underpaid or do you just not believe that you can make more money?💸
As someone who grew up watching my parents work 2 jobs to make ends meet, I grew up thinking I had to do the same. These unchecked beliefs kept me broke for far too long. Additionally, the fact that I was already breaking cycles - like being the first to graduate college, being the first to fly internationally, being the first to land a corporate job - made it really difficult for me to see that HOLD UP: MORE is still available to me. I don't have to stop at just having it 'better than my parents'. In other words - I don't have to stay broke.
In this episode Cara Santamaria - career growth coach, speaker and host of 'The First Gen Coach' Podcast, breaks down the mindset shifts required to go from dreaming of more money to ACTUALLY making more.
Carla gives us a 3 step roadmap to stop underearning and make more money.
Carla did not hold back. Amiga, are you ready to make more money? Tune into this episode and learn how.

#16: Do you and your partner split expenses in an 'equitable' way? Meaning, does the higher income earner pay more?

We talk about the shame that can come up when 1 partner makes less than the other and the empathy required to have difficult money conversations.
In the second half of the episode, I throw some rapid fire audience questions at Edward, like:

#15: Ever wonder why despite REALLY wanting to, and despite making a plan, and telling yourself over and over you'll do something, you just can't seem to make it happen? This episode is for the person who is done shaming themselves about it and who is READY to get to the root of why making a change is so hard. More specifically, it's for the person who is ready to take the action required to make a change.
⭐️⭐️Super Mega Spoiler⭐️⭐️
You aren’t taking action because your subconscious thoughts are overpowering your conscious ones.
Your brain is defaulting to survival patterns that have worked for you so many times before - but this keeps you playing small.
It’s time to explore your subconscious, rewire your habits, and take the action you're meant to.
