After 10 years of podcasting and 554 episodes, weāre coming down to the final episodes of Martinis and Your Money. These final three episodes before Happy Hour will be a chat between me and you. When I was thinking about how I wanted to end this podcast, all I could think was, āI have to make it epic for my fans and listeners,ā who have supported me for almost a decade. I have shared so much with you over these past 10 years, but Iāve also held some things back.
My intent with these final three conversations with you is to answer all of the questions, spill all of the tea, and share all of the lessons Iāve learned not only over the past 10 years but also over the past 46 years Iāve been on this earth.
I am splitting the final three episodes before Happy Hour into three categories: my personal experiences, my work and professional experiences, and my blogging and podcasting experiences. You can listen to all three, one or none.
I know that many of you have come here for years for money-related advice and guidance, and I will have that in these final episodes, but Iāll also have more. My intent in sharing all of this with you is in the hopes that my journey and the lessons Iāve learned can help you or someone you know who has been on a journey. I have faced a great deal of challenges over my life, and I would face all of them again if I knew that my story could help just one person.

We are officially in the second to last month of the podcast. So, I decided my final topic would be around side hustling and entrepreneurship, which, you can imagine, are subjects near and dear to my heart. The Financial Gym has taken me on an 11-year entrepreneurial journey, and it would have started as a side hustle if I was allowed to coach people on the side from my day job as a financial advisor. In August of 2013, I made the wild decision to jump full force into an entrepreneurial journey without testing it via a side hustle. While Iām thankful for the journey, I would advise everyone else to start with the side hustle before it becomes the full hustle.
So this month Iām going to share with you stories from side hustle through full entrepreneurship and everywhere in between. Joining me today is Cadence Dubus, who combined her love of dancing and her need to make money into a career in fitness that started from instructor to multi-gym owner to virtual business owner. Like me, Cadence didnāt set out to become an entrepreneur, but sheās become an amazing one in her own right. I am inspired by Cadenceās strength and tenacity, and I hope you are too.

And now hereās Amanda.For more information, visit the show notes: https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode548

Joining me today is Gala Aranaga, a lifelong creative who allowed her creative energy to lead her to various side hustles from composing music to buying a theater. Gala joins me today to talk about her journey, about why the word hustle gets a bad rap and why you should never be afraid to try anything once.

Today is the last Friday of the month, and my regular listeners know that on the last Friday of the month, I host the happy hour on the podcast, where I gather great friends with me to drink cheap drinks and talk about money topics.
This month, Iāve talked about a number of topics with my Financial Gym teammates, and weāre talking about them during happy hour. Youāll hear our thoughts on buying vs. renting, the financial challenges weāve had as pet owners, and our biggest learning lessons from investing our own money. As usual, this is a great conversation and there will only be two more Happy Hours after this one.

This month Iāve got a mixed bag of topics to talk to you about and Iām tagging in my amazing training team at Financial Gym to help me Gymsplain some of these topics and also give perspective on what they see on a daily basis from clients. I just discussed home buying decisions and when to buy or rent and then next logical financial topic to me was thinking about who or what would you have in your home and thatās pets. I have said this many times throughout the years but at Financial Gym, we have more clients who have goals of having fur babies rather than human babies and the large majority of our clients are already fur parents and from a trainer perspective, we see the financial challenges being a fur parent presents.
Joining me today is Sara Belhouari, Financial Gym trainer and also fur parent to discuss how she helps her clientās budget for and plan for their fur babies but also the challenges she has had in her journey. And now hereās Sara.

This month, I've got a mixed bag of topics, and I'm tagging in my amazing training team at Financial Gym to help me Gymsplain some of them and also give perspective on what they see on a daily basis from clients. In these first two episodes of this month, I'm talking about home ownership. I always say that it's expensive to get into a home, and it's expensive to get out of a home. Given how expensive it is these days, it's a decision not to be taken lightly, and honestly, it's a decision that is becoming less and less important for many of the clients we see.
Joining me today is Financial Gym Trainer Jill Wagner, who is also a licensed real estate agent and mortgage broker, to talk about what mortgage brokers do, why and when you would want to utilize a mortgage broker, and common mistakes and misconceptions when people are buying homes, especially first time home buyers.

Hello Martinis and Your Money Listeners! Weāve got four months to go until the end of this podcast and I couldnāt be more excited about all of the new episodes coming your way. Itās July and because of the July Fourth holiday I always think about Financial Independence this month. For the past 15 years of my life, I have coached dozens of individuals to and through Financial Independence and the biggest factor I see between people who are close to achieving it or have already achieved it is a belief or manifestation in something big. And when I say something big, I want to clarify that ābigā is a relative term and itās different for every single one of my clients, but if you are someone living in a scarcity mindset, you will have a difficult time getting to FI and you may be your biggest roadblock to getting there.
This month, I am going to share with you three peopleās stories that will blow your minds. All of them started probably similar to wherever you are now and within 5-10 years they have achieved some massive goals and yes you heard me right 5-10 years. FI is not a goal to be achieved overnight, but itās a goal that with enough mindset and manifestation can be accomplished sooner than later. Doesnāt it make sense to work really hard for 5-10 years to have the next 20+ of freedom for yourself? I think so.
Joining me today is Malyia McNaughton founder of Made by Malyia. Malyia has been on the show twice before, so if you want more of her backstory, I recommend you listen to those previous episodes, but spoiler alert she has built a successful jewelry brand with no real experience and bootstrapped much of her journey. I have been a fan of Malyiaās since I saw her progression hoops on display in Financial Gymās headquarters almost 5 years ago now. Malyia joins me to share her story of not only survival but how sheās thriving despite all of the naysayers and challenges that have come her way.For more information, visit the show notes: https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode540

Today is the last Friday of the month, and my regular listeners know that on the last Friday of the month, I host the happy hour on the podcast, where I gather great friends with me to drink cheap drinks and talk about money topics. This month, I've focused on risk management, which means thinking about financial products like insurance or trust and estate management. These are pretty much the subjects of financial planning that no one likes to talk about because they involve planning for potentially bad things happening.
After fifteen years of financial planning, the one lesson I have learned is that bad things happen all the time (typically when we're not expecting them), and the best way to weather the storm, so to speak, is planning in advance for it. My friends joined me to talk about how planning for the worst not only helped them financially but also helped them feel confident and secure during those tough times.

This month Iām talking about Risk Management on the podcast, also known as the area of financial planning that no one wants to talk about and todayās subject is certainly the subject I find clients the least interested in and that is Trust and Estate Planning or planning for a death. Planning for death is certainly not something any of us would get excited about but as a financial planner for almost 15 years, I can tell you that Iāve seen clients experience it and Iāve seen clients suffer from not being prepared for it. There is nothing worse than losing a loved one, but the only thing I can imagine worse than that is also not having a plan for when they pass, it creates a tremendous amount of stress and burden on those theyāve left behind.
Todayās episode is unfortunately going to have to be a replayed episode but the content is still what I would recommend. Full disclosure, I was hoping to get Lillie back on to record another episode but she just had her first baby and having been in her seat 18 years ago as the working mom of a newborn baby, I know that the last thing she has time for is a podcast recording with me, but I want to continue to shine a light on the work Lillie does and has done and hopefully youāll want to work with her and her team so she can start saving for her childās college savings. Anyway, joining me for this replayed episode is Lillie Nkenchor, President of Lillie Nkenchor PC and she discusses why she became a trust and estate attorney and why you donāt have to be wealthy to think about trust and estate planning.For more information, visit the show notes: https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/episode536

This month's topic is Risk Management. Risk management is an area of financial planning that no one wants to talk about or think about, but it's a necessary component. If you're not prepared for what could be the worst-case scenario, then you'll not only experience a personal shock like an accident or death, but you'll also experience a series of unfortunate financial surprises. You may be surprised about today's guest as the show doesn't align with typical risk management subjects like insurance.
I'm talking about having a healthy relationship with money with Kara Stevens, founder of Frugal Feminista. Kara joins me to talk about her book, "Heal Your Relationship with Money," her personal journey, and all of the financial benefits she has received from developing a better relationship with money. As much as any financial product can impact your finances, I think nothing can impact it more than your mindset. I highly encourage you to invest time in this episode and book if you don't have a healthy relationship with money.
