142: Big Changes at Mind Money Balance

142: Big Changes at Mind Money Balance

Author: Lindsay Bryan - Podvin February 19, 2024 Duration: 25:45

I'm taking you behind the scenes and sharing insights into my personal and professional journey, including how I found myself repeating a mistake by outsourcing my self-trust when it came to trying to achieve my goals in 2023. I share lessons I’ve learned, including how I approach my marketing from a sustainability standpoint, why social media platforms can be complimentary but aren’t my main focus, and what happened when I looked at YouTube with too much anxiety. I turned to folks in my community for feedback and reassurance about the power of safe and healthy authenticity, including sharing more about my financial privileges. And? I share that my story isn’t a rags-to-riches one; statistically speaking, it’s probably not yours. PLUS, I share some exciting changes that have to do with new and refreshed offerings at Mind Money Balance.
