"Belonging confronts and captivates all at once. The inner critic was nowhere to be found and joy had taken its place."

Belonging had a huge impact on the members of our book club and the timing of it was just perfect for all of us. ⁣It met us where we were at and it catapulted us to where we wanted to be. In between, the book asked a lot of us. ⁣⁣

 

Belonging confronts and captivates all at once. ⁣⁣

 

At the end of it, we all noticed significant shifts in our relationship to ourselves and others including more connection, grace, and understanding. ⁣⁣

 

This last chapter ends with an invitation to imagine your future goals and dreams. ⁣

 

It’s the most fun I’ve had in goal-setting because of how Wood set it up, but also because by the end of the book I could see so much more clearly. ⁣⁣

 

The inner critic was nowhere to be found and joy had taken its place.

Mindful Spending & Navigating Lifestyle Creep with Cris Caruso

In this episode of the Prosperous Empath®, I’m sitting down with financial advisor and UNBOUNDED Mastermind Alum, Cris Caruso to talk about a phenomenon that many people have experienced in recent years: lifestyle creep. Cris has been in the financial services industry since 2004 and a financial advisor since 2008. Beyond that, she has pursued additional education in understanding how our behaviors shape financial outcomes by earning the Behavioral Financial Advisor designation from Think2Perform. She also earned the Accredited Domestic Partnership Advisor credential prior to 2015 as a way to support her LGBTQIA+bclients and continues to use this knowledge to work with unmarried couples and non-traditional families. You’ll appreciate her unique experience throughout today’s episode as she speaks on lifestyle creep, or lifestyle inflation, which is overspending on things that you don’t actually need as your income increases. When you’re early in your career, your spending habits focus on must-haves like housing and groceries. But as your income increases, it’s easy to lose track of what is a necessity and what are simply too many luxuries, and to just keep buying more. Cris and I discuss both values-based and practical strategies on how to identify the areas of your life you should spend generously on and where to be more mindful to reach your long-term goals. How do you live in alignment with your money, especially as an entrepreneur and an empath? You’ll get an answer to this question as you listen to our thought provoking conversation on purposeful spending, the importance of allowing yourself to have fun & fabulous experiences, and more.
