76 | A Hard Reset on Money, Consumption, and Self-Trust [Dashboard Diaries]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this introspective episode, Monique shares her self-discovery journey and what it’s taught her about shifting her relationship with money and consumption.
You’ll hear how she’s approaching better money management through a low-buy challenge, plus the real lessons she’s carrying forward from past accountability efforts in other parts of her life.
This conversation is a reminder that financial wellness isn’t meant to be done alone. When we name what’s true, share the messy parts, and ask for support, we create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with money. Tune in now.
GEMS DROPPED
“I think that our relationship with money and finances is just like any other relationship in life where it is a continuous growth process, a continuous learning curve with reevaluation and reinvestment and retesting and retrying.”
“When we say we want something, then we don't do it, It's because you didn't commit. You didn't really want it. You wanted to want it, but your behaviors do not demonstrate that commitment.”
“One thing I know about myself is that if I have an accountability partner, an accountability group that's also serious, I am golden. I am golden. I work out so many things in my life through relationships. It's a tool, it's a leveraging piece that I use to help me meet my goals.”
