Joining us today is listener Renae Brandsema… and we’re about to unpack how she said goodbye to financial stress once and for all.
Because what’s interesting about Renae is she has known what money is like as a stressor – and she’s previously tried to control this stress by counting every single dollar that went out the door – which at face value might seem like it’s smart money management, but in actual fact does more harm than good… often contributing (or perhaps even causing) the stress in the first place!
We mean… Can you even imagine trying to manage all those bank accounts!?!
Thankfully, Renae has a very different relationship to money now… and while she’s kept some of her positive money habits – like being frugal when it comes to “wants” versus “needs” – she now knows what it’s like to be in REAL CONTROL of her money.
… And with that comes the best reward – Financial Peace.
Tune in now to hear how Renae took total control back of her money management (and got rid of all those accounts 😉)!
