Hey Mama,
Have you found that after you’ve paid the bills one week you have plenty remaining and the next you have nothing? Do you find it difficult to budget this way? Are you ready for a way to get out of that cycle?
Great, because that is what we are talking about today. I am going to share with you how you can beat the feast and famine cycle from living paycheck to paycheck. I am going to share with you how you can find consistent numbers that NEVER change unless you rework the budget. Sticking to your budget has never been easier because you are working with the same numbers each and every paycheck!
So go cuddle up with a nice warm drink, get comfy with them babies and open your heart to God as we head into today’s episode.
Much Love
Molly

Hey Mama,
Ever wonder how much money you need monthly to live abundantly on one income? Do you feel like you don’t make enough money? Are you ready to be joyful instead of stressed over your income?
These kind of questions are why this episode came to be. I could give you the tactical answer, but the real answer to abundance is not a specific number. It’s your mindset. Which is why I am sharing with you 4 mindset shifts you can start working on today so that you can achieve abundance now rather than later.
So go cuddle up with a nice warm drink, get comfy with them babies and open your heart to God as we head into today’s episode.
Much Love
Molly
