Why Money Goals Don’t Equal Happiness (And How to Fix It) with Jordan Grumet

Are you grinding away at your money goals but still feeling unfulfilled? You're not alone. In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, I chat with Jordan Grumet to tackle the big question: What’s the difference between purpose and happiness? Why do so many of us struggle with purpose anxiety? And how can we rethink our relationship with money to build a life that feels truly meaningful? Jordan breaks down the difference between 'big P' purpose—the daunting, goal-oriented ideal that can cause anxiety—and 'little p' purpose, which is all about finding joy in the process. He explores how money is a tool, not the goal itself, and why building purpose through action is the key to living a life aligned with your values. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of chasing goals without feeling fulfilled, this conversation is packed with practical strategies, powerful insights, and actionable takeaways to help you get unstuck and move forward. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ---What purpose anxiety is and why 91% of people experience it. ---Why you can’t purpose your way to happiness without meaning. ---How money can serve as a tool to achieve happiness and fulfillment. ---Practical tips to redefine your goals and create a more meaningful life.

Building Credit in 2025: A Step-by-Step Guide to Boost Your Score with Monique White

Quick question: is your credit score secretly holding you back? If you’ve ever felt stuck, rejected, or overwhelmed by your credit, you’re not alone—and trust me, it’s not your fault. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on all things credit to help you take back control. Monique White joins me from Self.inc, and together we’re breaking down the biggest credit myths that are messing with your score, plus the actionable steps you need to start improving it today. We’re talking about the truth behind credit utilization (hint: it’s 30% of your score), how to handle collections without fear, and why checking your credit report regularly could save you major headaches. But it’s not just about the numbers—it’s about understanding the emotional side of credit and how to turn your mindset from overwhelmed to empowered. Here are some of the key takeaways: ---Leaving a balance on your credit card? That could actually hurt your score. ---Secured credit cards can be a game-changer if you’re rebuilding. ---Always, always check your credit report for errors. ---Negotiating with collection agencies isn’t as scary as it sounds. ---And, the truth about credit repair vs. credit building. Improving your credit is a journey, but you don’t have to do it alone. This episode is packed with tips, insights, and real talk to help you take the first step.

The Year-End Reset: How to Reimagine Your Life and Money with Summer McStravick

As the year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on my own money story—where I’ve been stuck, what I’ve accomplished, and where I want to go in 2025. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably thinking about the changes you want to make and how to finally reach those goals you’ve been dreaming about. In this episode, I’m joined by Summer McStravick, the creator of Flow Dreaming, to explore how this practice can help you reset your mindset, align with your goals, and step into the new year with a fresh perspective. I know “flow dreaming” might sound a little out there, but it’s not—it’s all about using visualization, emotions, and energy to get unstuck and create a life that feels aligned. We’ll talk about why money is about so much more than just numbers, how snapback fears keep you playing small, and why taking time to reset at the end of the year is so important. Plus, Summer leads a guided flow dreaming session to help you visualize and set the tone for your financial goals in 2025. This episode is personal for me, and I hope it gives you a little clarity and inspiration to make 2025 your best year yet. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: ---Why the end of the year is the perfect time to hit reset on your money mindset. ---How flow dreaming has helped me when I’ve felt stuck or unsure about my next step. ---Why financial success is about more than spreadsheets and hustle. ---How to create a ‘what if’ list to dream bigger for 2025. ---A guided flow dreaming session to visualize the life and money you want.

We’ll dive into: ---Why most five-year plans fail and how to create one that sticks. ---How to ditch limiting beliefs and stop self-sabotaging your success. ---Mindset shifts that will have you crushing your money goals. ---Step-by-step tips to build a roadmap for your dream life without the overwhelm. This isn’t just a feel-good episode—it’s your opportunity to hit pause, map out your next five years, and start making decisions your future self will thank you for.

How to Heal Your Money Mess and Finally Take Control with Aja Evans

Your money struggles aren’t really about money—they’re about the fears you hide, the dopamine driving your spending, and the emotional baggage you didn’t ask for but carry anyway.

Together, we’re calling out fake financial milestones, exposing the real reasons behind your money habits, and breaking free from the self-worth-bank-account trap. If you’re tired of being stuck in the same financial rut, this episode will give you the tools to rewrite your story and take control. What You’ll Learn: ---Why dopamine might be running your Amazon cart (and how to stop it). ---How generational money stories keep you stuck—and how to break free. ---Why your self-worth has nothing to do with your net worth.

Unlocking the Secrets of Your Financial DNA with Elizabeth Husserl

What if the way you think about money isn’t really your fault? In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Husserl, author of The Power of Enough, to unravel the concept of financial DNA—the inherited beliefs, patterns, and habits that shape your relationship with money. Together, we break down why the traditional “abundance vs. scarcity” mindset is outdated and how redefining wealth beyond material possessions can change everything. Elizabeth introduces practical tools like the Wealth Mandala and Satiation Journal to help you go beyond the numbers and connect with wealth in a way that feels emotional, visceral, and empowering. We’ll also talk about the power of self-compassion, grieving old money stories, and why physical movement might be the missing link in your financial wellness journey.

Stop Saving and Start Winning: The Secret to Reaching Your Big Money Goals

In this episode, I'm tackling a community question from Robbie, a listener who’s making great money with their partner in Chicago but feels stuck in the cycle of saving for big goals—like a wedding, home, and dream honeymoon—only to watch that savings disappear. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever struggled to prioritize and protect your savings for life’s big milestones, you’re going to love this conversation. I’m breaking down actionable strategies to: ---Identify and prioritize your money goals (hint: it’s all about clarity and commitment). ---Create a system to actually keep your savings safe from unexpected spending. ---Use a “reverse budget” to spend guilt-free while hitting your savings targets. ---Plan for big-ticket goals without feeling like you’re sacrificing everything. ---Build financial boundaries that support your dreams instead of derailing them. Whether you’re saving for a wedding, a home, a bucket list trip, or all of the above like Robbie, this episode will give you the tools (and a little tough love) to save for the things that matter most without feeling overwhelmed or stuck in “catch-up” mode.

Decode the Secret Language of Money: Stop Stressful Talks and Build Unbreakable Connections with Cha...

Have you ever felt like a money conversation turned into a minefield? Maybe it led to stress, silence, or complete miscommunication. Why is money so difficult to talk about—even with those closest to us? And how can we transform these moments into opportunities for deeper connection? In this episode, I’m joined by New York Times bestselling author Charles Duhigg, whose latest book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection, breaks down the art and science of meaningful conversations.
