You know how to make money. You’ve always made it work. But now, hustling feels like the only plan you’ve got to create more financial space.
In this episode of Money Files, I talk to my high earners, the folks who’ve always made it happen, about why hustle is no longer a sustainable savings plan. I’ll unpack how relying on your ability to earn (and earn again) keeps you in a reactive financial cycle that looks like freedom from the outside but feels exhausting on the inside.
You’ll learn how to shift from hustle to ease by creating an options fund, a pot of money that supports the lifestyle you actually want, not just the one your hustle can cover. I’ll walk you through how my clients are building financial systems that finally reflect their income, values, and future goals.
If you’re tired of making money only to watch it disappear, this episode will help you pause the grind, get off the hustle hamster wheel, and move your money with purpose.
