We are in an era defined by 'hard' challenges. These include the 60-day, 75-day, and 90-day hard challenges. However, it is important to consider whether these challenges create lasting change.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why challenges work, and where they break down.

The difference between discipline and punishment

How small habit changes rewire spending behaviour

Why subscriptions are “reverse SIPs.”

How gratitude can change your relationship with money

Whether you are starting your financial journey or want to address unconscious spending, this episode will help you create a system that supports your lifestyle.
