  • In this episode of the Debt Rebel podcast, Julian Kohlbrand interviews Ashley Malik, a health and wellness coach who specializes in anti-inflammatory nutrition.

    Ashley discusses her method of "component cooking" which allows families to eat healthy meals without everyone having to eat the same thing.

    Here are the key takeaways:

    Ashley Malik is a health and wellness coach who specializes in anti-inflammatory nutrition. She developed the "Family Fork" framework to help busy moms prioritize their own health while still feeding their families. Component cooking involves making large batches of a few key ingredients (protein, veggies, carbs) that can be repurposed into different meals throughout the week. This method saves time and money, and it allows families to enjoy healthy meals without everyone having to eat the same thing. Ashley recommends starting with just one new recipe per week and slowly building a repertoire of healthy meals. You can find Ashley's free guide and more resources on her website, AshleyMalik.com. Her podcast is called The Family Fork.

    About Ashley:

    She empowers busy, midlife moms to lose weight with an anti-inflammatory approach that is family-friendly. After losing 55 lbs with hypothyroidism, Ashley developed a method to kick-start weight loss for women who have "tried everything, but nothing works". Based on 10+ years of personal experience, research, and endless doctors appointments, her approach guides women to lose weight, gain energy, and live the happy life they deserve!

    Hi everyone, Julian Kohlbrand here from the Debt Rebel Podcast! I'm so excited to celebrate a huge milestone – we've officially hit 1,000 downloads! This journey has been incredible, and I'm so grateful for your support.

    This podcast started because I wanted to share my own experience of overcoming financial struggles. If you haven't listened to the first episode yet, that's where you'll hear my story of becoming debt-free and how Jules the Budget Nerd was born.

    Today, I want to focus on you, the listener. Your questions are what truly fuel this podcast. Whether you've reached out directly or have questions lingering after an episode, I'm here to help.

    The Power of Asking Questions

    Asking questions is the best way to learn more about personal finance. It gets you actively engaged in your financial journey. There's a lot of information out there, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. Don't be afraid to question advice you hear – is it truly relevant to your situation?

    Building a Budget that Works for You

    The key to a successful budget is figuring out what's most important to your family. What kind of lifestyle do you envision? What are your financial goals? Start by asking yourself these questions, then build your budget around them.

    Here are some listener questions I'll be tackling today:

    Building an Emergency Fund: Learn how to create space in your budget to save for unexpected expenses. Managing Allowance in a Family Budget: We'll discuss where to allocate allowance money in your budget and how to use it to teach your kids about finances. Planning for Variable Expenses: Discover strategies for budgeting for expenses that fluctuate throughout the year, like utilities. Affording a Mortgage: This episode goes the true cost of homeownership, helping you avoid getting in over your head. Cutting Back Without Sacrificing Quality of Life: We'll explore how to identify what truly matters to your family and make adjustments that allow you to live a fulfilling life while staying on budget.
