28 | Letting Go of Expectations with Bernadette Joy
Show Notes

In this week's episode, I speak with Bernadette Joy who went from HR to running a fashion company to taking her own personal experiences with money and starting a financial education company.  Crush Your Money Goals is just the latest example of Bernadette shedding the expectations and labels put on her throughout her career, and her life, and finding the path that speaks to her where she can help others with their financial goals.  As she puts it, she never wants someone to be financially dependent on their job, but be in control of their own financial stability & success.   And she does it all in her own way and her personality screaming through the microphone!   She specifically has two upcoming programs you should check out at https://www.crushyourmoneygoals.com

More about Bernadette...

Bernadette takes personal finance personally. Overwhelmed and ignored by
traditional advice, she learned not just to talk the talk. She walks the
walk, having paid off over $300,000 of debt in three years and is on track
to retire in her forties.

Dubbed her "magic recipe" by Good Morning America, she also shares
her trademarked five-step Crush Your Money Goals® method as a
contributor for CNBC, TIME, and multiple TV and podcast shows.
While she has over a decade of Fortune 100 experience, two bachelors,
a masters degree and numerous certifications, she's known more for her
refreshing energy, engaging style and relatable messaging.

Her classes are centered around her trademarked CRUSH YOUR
MONEY GOALS® system that teaches simple tips, and tools to:

  • Cultivate a positive money mindset
  • Reverse engineer life goals into manageable steps
  • Use your time, energy, and money efficiently
  • Spend on what matters to you most
  • Hustle to make your income meet your money goals faster!

When she’s not teaching, you can find her singing karaoke, delving into DIY
projects, and eating way too much chocolate with her husband AJ.
