This week we're hitting replay on one of your favourite episodes of the podcast ever. In this solo episode I'm taking you three behavioural turning points that fundamentally changed my finances…
So what I wanna talk about today is three things that fundamentally changed my finances, that took me from hot mess express to good with money, to the point that I literally wrote the book on being good with money.
And if you haven't heard, I am launching my new book, The Wardrobe Project, which is an account of my one year without buying clothes, and basically my relationship with shopping and my relationship with buying clothes, the way that that sort of endured.
My challenges with that, sorry, sort of endured longer than some of my other money hangups.
How, for so many years, my spending behavior was linked to the way that I saw myself, and how actually withdrawing from buying was the thing that gave me the answers I was continually trying to purchase.
Um, international distribution is a bit different, but I have, uh, pushed hard this time to get this out for all of you at the same time.
As you will remember, with Good With Money, it was, it was already going to be delayed international distribution, and then because we ended up republishing locally in the UK, it was delayed even more.
Well, not write a specific book, but change, like, the currency and things like that, and have it come out in hardback and have it, um, with a UK publisher.
Whereas this time we're not republishing locally, we are internationally distributing all at the same time, which is so exciting because there are so many of you from all over the world.
Like, especially plus size, there's really good stuff, and it can be hard to break out of that buying cycle.
I know a lot of you relate, and so it was important to me to get the book to you.
I know that every author says this and you're probably like, "What?" Like, why? Pre-orders, I'm gonna do a video on this so that people understand more, but pre-orders basically signal to the publishing industry, the book industry, that people want to buy your book.
So when you have a publisher, you might think like, oh, that's the hard part, right? Getting a publisher.
