This time, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Rachel Luna, an incredible financial health coach and author. Rachel and I delve into a conversation that's close to both our hearts: mastering money.

We start by tackling the common myth that earning more money automatically leads to wealth. Rachel shares her personal journey from financial instability to financial freedom, emphasizing how focusing solely on income can trap us in a cycle of earning and spending without truly building wealth. We both agree that understanding the difference between income and wealth is crucial. The key lies in creating a personal balance sheet, which serves as a financial health checkup, showing where you stand and helping you make informed decisions.

Rachel highlights the importance of knowing your financial freedom number – the amount of passive income needed to cover your lifestyle costs. This number acts as your North Star, guiding your financial decisions and strategies. We discuss practical steps to begin building wealth, such as starting with small, consistent investments, even if you’re currently living paycheck to paycheck. This approach helps you create a strong financial foundation over time.

A significant part of our conversation focuses on mindset. Rachel and I explore how our beliefs about money shape our financial reality. By developing a healthy money mindset, we can break free from limiting beliefs and start making choices that lead to financial success. Rachel’s story is a testament to this, as she transforms her financial situation by changing her mindset and adopting disciplined financial practices.

I hope you find this episode as insightful and empowering as I do. Remember, wealth is a journey, and every step you take brings you closer to financial freedom.
