Quotes from the episode:
“Financial freedom to me was more of being able to block off the time on my calendar that I need because I need to go to my daughter’s school event. Because I need to go and take my son to the doctor’s.”
“Money is not hard to get. Money is actually easier than you think it is. It’s us and our limiting beliefs that make it hard, that we are hard on ourselves more than we have to be.”
