In this week’s featured episode of my Crushing It with Your Tribe podcast, I'm back with Lisa Marie Robinson, The Sassy Wealth Coach, about empowerment over money. Lisa has over 20 years of experience in accounting - helping women manage their money with confidence to feel empowered. After surviving a tumultuous childhood filled with addiction, theft, and violence, she made it her mission to help women break free from poverty, struggle, and pain. She teaches her clients how to take control of their finances and make mindful decisions that will full their growth and prosperity.

In the week prior to recording this episode, her car was vandalized. "Life happens, and sometimes she's a bitch." Instead of focusing on the many negative aspects that came along with this, Lisa instead told herself to look at this as a learning experience, allowing her to change some things so, in case this happens again, she won't have as difficult a time going forward.

This week’s Friday Fame spotlight shines on Priscilla Bullard, the creative force behind Cilla Candle Company. Priscilla's deep love for candles inspired her to delve into the art of candle making, studying various types of wax, oils, herbs, wicks, and containers. After months of dedicated research, she emerged with the expertise to produce superior and hygienic candles for discerning enthusiasts who value the products they use at home. Priscilla takes pride in crafting candles that offer fresh, cozy scents while being safe for pets and the environment.

I have purchased two candles from Cilla Candle Company so far: Cypress Waters and I'm So Fancy. I love the jars that the candles come in; they make great modern decor even after the wax is gone. They recently changed from having two wicks to a single wick, which increases burn times to 70-80 hours, so you can enjoy even more of the good smells. What's more, the candles from Cilla Candle Company are non-toxic, phthalate-free, and vegan, so they're not harmful for your family (human or furry)! For more info, and to purchase some for yourself, see my blog post!

In this week’s featured episode of my Relax, I Got This! Podcast, the podcast where we Elevate Your Real Estate IQ, I talk with Nedra Hines with Effortless Charm Staging. She specializes in staging vacant homes in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex. Originally from a small town located just outside of Houston, Texas, she graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Finance and has lived in the Dallas area for over 20 years. In addition to vacant home staging, she offers occupied consultations and paint color consultations. She previously served as the VP of Membership of the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) Dallas Chapter and continues her membership with RESA National.

She has her Staging Design Professional and Master Color Consultant certifications with Staging Studio and Occupied Consultation Specialist certification with Bobbie McGrath. The training courses helped her discover what she didn't know about Home Staging and what an involved business it is. The thing she loves the most about the Home Staging industry is the commitment of the seasoned stagers and their willingness to elevate the profession so that those in her profession are respected for what they provide. Nedra explains that, when starting out, it’s very easy to think that staging homes will be fun and easy. Thankfully, she has her Project Management Professional certification because it’s mostly project management with a bit of flair!

In this week’s featured episode of my Relax, I Got This! Podcast, the podcast where we Elevate Your Real Estate IQ, I speak with Todd Campbell about insurance. Todd has been in the insurance business since 2009 working with all types of insurance including auto, home, business, and more. He has built his team to 10 fully licensed agents to serve their clients.

Todd and I discuss why insurance is important and what, as a consumer, you need to keep an eye out for. Often introduced to clients in a real estate transaction, they work to develop lifelong relationships.

You'll want an agent in your corner when trying to decide if it's worth making a claim. If you make a claim that'll pay out nothing but still go on your record, Todd will advise you against making the claim in the first place, as a call with him can be "off the record." As he is known to say, "Every policy comes with a free agent... Use It!"

Who you're in business with matters! To get in contact with Todd for all of your insurance needs, his information is in the episode's shownotes.

Kella and I are both members of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA); Kella has been a member even longer than I have.

ABWA is not only a business organization, but a great place to meet new friends and to become part of a community. Kella tells us how helpful and supportive and welcoming different Chapters were when she and her husband were relocated for his military career, before they even moved to the area.

In this week’s featured episode of my Crushing It with Your Tribe podcast, I speak with Sarah Elledge about budgeting: the power of zero-based budgeting, how to align your budget with your values, and how to be confident in your spending plan. Sarah is a solopreneur, budget expert, Certified YNAB Coach, course creator, and mama to a now full-grown 18-year-old.

Budgeting is simply the habits of how you manage your money. Everyone has a budget style - even if you don't think you do. We form deeply rooted beliefs about money as early as age 5 which can affect how we make decisions all the way through our adulthood. Until you stop and assess your relationship with money and start to heal any lingering money trauma, you might always feel friction in your money decisions.

You Need A Budget is a proven method to get proactive, flexible, and an empowering system to manage your money. YNAB’s Four Rules are our method and secret sauce. It requires you to be forward-looking and intentional about every dollar; it requires you to be aware, but in return you’ll be in total control of your finances, and in so doing, your life.

Take a listen to the episode and contact Sarah for any of your budgeting needs! All her contact info is included in the shownotes in the link below. Also available on your favorite podcast players!
