Ways I Changed My Life When I Committed to Mindful Spending

Ways I Changed My Life When I Committed to Mindful Spending

This is not your typical budgeting episode. I’m not here to lecture you about lattes.

Instead, I’m sharing how mindful spending—yep, just being a little more intentional with your money—led to massive shifts in my mental clarity, emotional stability, and even how I run my business.

After a chaotic move back to Mexico (we still haven’t unpacked everything ), some surprising expenses, and a lot of internal debates with my old impulsive shopper self, I’ve finally found a new groove. In this episode, I’ll walk you through what changed, how it happened, and why I think you might want to give this mindful money thing a try.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • How I hit my record month in June 2025 and what helped

  • The surprising connection between less clutter and sharper decisions

  • My personal challenge: 90 days without Amazon

  • Why walking out of the store is sometimes the biggest flex

  • The internal tug-of-war between "you deserve this" and "be smart about it"

  • Paying off a $10,000 surprise debt—without panicking

  • Why mindful spending = more power, not less freedom

  • What changed when I started asking: “Will I love this forever?”

Want to share your mindful money wins or past shopping regrets? I’d love to hear them.
