Hello, my name is Tiffany, and welcome to the podcast, Working on Amazing.

This is a podcast where we talk about the work that it takes to rebuild an amazing life.

And I'm using that word rebuild specifically, because we're designed for women who feel like they're starting over in the middle of their life.

If that's you, I'm sorry.

I know how itchy and overwhelming it feels when your life was going one way.

It was like on train tracks, and suddenly the rug gets pulled out from under your feet, and you are no longer on train tracks.

You're going something different.

Everything has changed.

All your hopes, all your dreams, all your plans for the future have just totally been erased, and it feels like you're starting over.

For me, that was a divorce after a 20-year marriage.

For my sister, it was the unexpected death of her spouse.

All I know is that a lot of women face this.

You are not alone.

I also know so many women come out on the other side better for it.

Like, when you take the time to be purposeful about how you rebuild your life and are careful about what elements you choose to focus on, you can have a life that was better than what you had before.

You really can't.

It's amazing.

We're working on it.

We're working on building an amazing life.

So I'm so glad you're here with me today.

If you remember, last week, we talked about our financial health, because that's one of the areas that I focused on.

When I rebuilt my life, I focused on my financial health.

Money can cause us so much stress and so much anxiety, right?

And getting on track and learning how to win with money is so important, especially for us as women, especially for everybody.

It's just really important to figure this out.

And for some of us, it's like a beast that's been on our back since we were born, because it's been on our family's back.

It's just something that has always been a struggle, but you can win with money.

You really can.

It takes some self-discipline, but you can.

So last week, we talked about ways to save money.

Because if you really want to simplify and boil it down to its essence, the best advice I can say about winning with money is you've got to spend less than you make.

And that's easier said than done, I know.

So last week, we talked about ways to save.

So we're spending less, right?

And we talked about just different ideas, kind of spitballing.

Yeah, I know that you can't implement every idea that I talked about.

But if you can implement two or three and save money, that's less that you're spending and more that you're saving that you can put it into your savings account or you can use to pay down debt if you have debt.

Okay?

So last week was about saving money.

This week is about maybe earning a little extra.

Because those two things work in tandem a little bit, right?

So when money is really tight and it feels like our entire budget is being taken up with necessities and there's just not a lot of extra room, the two things we need to do is we need to figure out where we can save and then how we can maybe earn and bring in a little bit more.

So last week was things that we can do to save, and this week we're going
