This week’s Money Diary is from a 31-year-old nurse who fell pregnant at 30… while single and working 70-hour weeks. At the time, money wasn’t the problem. She was earning well, picking up shifts, saying yes to everything and just getting on with life. But there wasn’t much structure behind it. It was busy, but not necessarily intentional. And then everything shifted. Not because she didn’t have enough, but because she suddenly had a reason to think about money differently. To slow down, to plan, and to actually build something that could support her and her child. This episode isn’t about starting from scratch. It’s about taking what you already have and learning how to use it properly. It’s about stepping into a new version of your life, ready or not, and figuring it out as you go. It’s honest, it’s a little bit messy, and it’s a really powerful reminder that you don’t need everything perfectly mapped out to make it work. Sometimes it’s not about earning more. It’s about getting intentional with what you’ve already got. SORT YOUR INSURANCE: A big thank you to our partner Skye Wealth for bringing this episode to life.
