In this episode of Mindful Money, I’m introducing a new nine-part series about modular financial planning, and why I think it’s the best approach for getting started. Specifically, we’ll discuss the importance of having a financial plan, comparing the in-depth and all-encompassing nature of comprehensive plans to the simplified and focused approach of modular plans. A financial plan acts as a roadmap, helping to achieve long-term goals, optimize investments, manage debt, and even provide psychological benefits such as reduced anxiety. The next nine episodes will explore the modular financial planning process in detail, starting with understanding your values and priorities. Join me for this series as we aim to normalize the money conversation and use financial planning to build a life of stability, purpose, and joy.
