169 | Stop Worrying About Money (Ft. Jacqui Clarke)

Do you ever find yourself worrying about money? Wondering if you have enough, if you're doing enough, or how the hell you're supposed to create more financial freedom while also trying to LIVE your life? Then Dream Makers, THIS conversation is for you! Because what if financial freedom isn't just about having more money? What if it's about having more CHOICES? Oh my goodness, I absolutely LOVED this conversation with the wonderful Jacqui Clarke, financial expert and author of Stop Worrying About Money. I love this woman. I'm a FAN! We're diving into MONEY. The stuff we worry about, avoid looking at, wish we understood better, and sometimes let get in the way of the lives we're dreaming of creating. And Jacqui brings so much wisdom, practicality and perspective to this conversation. One of my absolute favourite moments? Jacqui asks us to consider what it actually costs to OPEN YOUR FRONT DOOR. Not the holidays, the adventures, the coffees or the extra things we love. Just the actual cost of living your life. Because knowing your numbers might just be one of the most empowering things you ever do. We're talking about women and money, financial independence, financial confidence, money mindset, saving, building wealth, financial security, raising money-confident kids, and why understanding your financial position is so important, particularly when life changes unexpectedly. We're also talking about something that sits right at the heart of everything I do: AGENCY and SOVEREIGNTY. The freedom to make decisions about your own life. To create, to dream, to leave, to begin again, to say YES to what matters and NO to what doesn't. And I especially love this conversation for my fellow heart-driven creators, entrepreneurs and dreamers. Because following your heart and understanding your finances are NOT mutually exclusive. You get to do both. In this episode, we explore: Why so many women worry about money and how to start changing that relationship. What it really costs to live your life and why knowing your numbers matters. Financial independence, confidence and having more choices. Money conversations, financial vulnerability and navigating major life changes. Saving, superannuation, financial goals and planning for your future. Teaching our kids about money and creating new generational patterns. The connection between money, self-worth, creativity and the dreams we're building. Why one small, brave action today could change your financial future. And there's a little life update from me, too. I've been MIA after travelling with my kids and then getting seriously unwell with a lung infection. There's been a LOT of resting, reflecting, realising and listening to my heart on a whole new level. I'm sharing a little of what's been unfolding, including my next book Let Your Heart Lead the Way, The Money Room, my Dream Builders work with young people, and a few other beautiful things in the making. But the real star of this episode is Jacqui and the incredibly important conversation we're having about women taking ownership of their financial lives. You do NOT need to have everything figured out. You do NOT need to be brilliant with money. And you do NOT need to wait until you have more of it to start building a different relationship with it. You can start right where you are. Because financial freedom isn't just about having more money. It's about having more choices. And Dream Makers, we all deserve to have choices about this one precious life we're here to live. I really, really think you're going to love this one.
