🌟 Busy women, reclaim your time with a FREE home workout – your shortcut to strength and confidence! 💪✨ https://workwithjenshaver.com/ In this episode, Jen introduces Edmund Ricker as the first finance expert to appear on the podcast. Edmund is a certified financial planner and enrolled agent who experienced bankruptcy at the age of 30. This personal experience motivated him to study finance and eventually become a financial coach with his business, Stacking Cheddah, because he saw many people struggling with financial stress, similar to what he had gone through. Jen points out the connection between financial wellness and fitness, noting that just like a fitness plan, financial well-being requires consistency, discipline, and tracking progress. Edmund emphasizes that financial stress significantly impacts overall well-being, contributing to poor sleep, weight gain, chronic health issues, and even relationship problems. He works with clients who often have good incomes but struggle to understand where their money is going and aren't meeting their savings goals. Edmund's coaching focuses on empathy, education, and action, providing non-judgmental and confidential help with budgeting, debt reduction, and saving. He stresses the importance of taking an honest look at one's current financial situation and setting realistic goals, drawing parallels to health coaching where understanding current habits is crucial for creating sustainable change. Edmund offers a free 15-minute consultation and a foundational two-hour session to help clients identify their financial priorities and develop concrete action steps.
