Do you have a love hate relationship with money?
Hey Reader!
Do you have a love hate relationship with money? You love to get it, but hate talking about it? Whether it’s salary negotiation convos at work or budgeting with your family, these can be difficult conversations.
The reason is because there are a lot of emotions attached to money. What it means to have it, to not have it, how you spend it, and especially how you get it. You can’t talk about money without talking about your career. After all, that’s why we’re working in the first place right? Sure, we love a challenge and sense of accomplishment, but we’re not doing it for free!
Having someone help you talk through your emotions around work and money are key as you advance in your career. Making more money won’t solve all your money problems, and not having it might keep you feeling stuck in a job you don’t like.
That’s why I partnered with Amber Stitt on her recent podcast, Focus on Money: How your EQ can map out your Money Goals for You!
Listen as we discuss better understanding your thoughts and feelings about money.
I hope this will help you communicate better when it’s time for those tough conversations, and help you hate them less.😊

What Would Jovita Do?
I’m not an expert when it comes to money. In my younger days, I racked up over $12,000 of credit card debt; and no, not on splurges and shopping. It was for basic necessities like food and rent. While that certainly is no excuse and I’m not proud to admit it, I’m grateful for the experience because it taught me how to budget and plan my career goals around my lifestyle. It may seem obvious to others, but I hadn’t clearly connected the growth in my career to the growth in the lifestyle I wanted as I got older.
Now I know better, plus have gotten help! I made a plan and got myself out of debt, rebuilt my credit, and always make sure my career goals and money goals are aligned.
Pro Tip
Don’t wait! Start understanding money better now. Make sure you’re also gaining awareness on your own money blocks and emotions.

I’m talking about the other B-word, boundaries. How do you deal with boundaries at work? Do you even have any? Boundaries for your time? Boundaries with communication?

“I always say my biggest competitor is myself. Whenever I step out there on the mat, I’m competing against myself to prove that I can do this, that I am very well trained, and prepared for it.” - Simone Biles Hey Reader! I want you to get uncomfortable this week - but in a good way. You see, there are two types of discomfort.

“When your passion and drive are bigger than your fears, you just dive.” – Viola Davis Hey Reader! Did you miss me last week? I had a time-sensitive work emergency that threw off my plans. Thus, my newsletter didn’t get sent out. Plus, I had PTO scheduled for Thursday and Friday, so I was already juggling my workload in a condensed week. It got me thinking about all of you who experience the same struggles managing your schedule each week. We have goals, plans, routines and then something...
