ABOUT THIS EPISODE



Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Our guest for today’s episode is Rachel Cruze. Rachel is a New York Times bestselling author & speaker with a heart to help others become smart with money. 

And that’s exactly what we’re going to be talking about today! 

Friends, I am so excited about this episode, because I know that money is something that every single one of us struggles with. A lot of the women in our community are carrying some major school and credit card debt. Others are trying to figure out how to spend less, and save more. We’re all trying to figure out if we need a budget, how to create a budget, how to stick to a budget? We’re really not sure.

I know that so many of us feel stuck or just plain lost when it comes to money, and that makes our financial lives so hard, but it makes the rest of our lives hard too. There are things we’d love to do in life, we just can’t afford it.

And y’all, that’s why I’m so excited to have Rachel on the show today. 

First of all, Rachel is a friend who gets it. She’s a fellow spender who didn’t love the idea of being on a budget either. And so the things she teaches us to do are actually practical, doable, and won’t ruin our fun, it’ll actually enable us to have MORE fun!

She’s also brilliant. I left this conversation feeling empowered and excited about the prospect of taking charge of my financial life. And I know you’ll feel the exact same way. 

Also… I have to say that hands-down, Rachel’s fun fact is my favorite one we’ve ever had on the show. The second she shared it with me, I knew we were going to be best friends. I can’t wait to share this episode with you.
