Demystifying Crypto: Can It Help You Build Wealth with Tonya Evans

Do you need a Financial Plan? Ethan Ho, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ from Oahu, Hawaii, is here to share the ins and outs of having a financial plan in this vault episode. One of my favorite takeaways from Ethan is where he describes your finances to a plant. As you can see, Ethan and I share a very common belief about money. You need to give it some TLC occasionally and create a plan that works for you and the life you want to live. So how do you do that? Well, Ethan’s sharing the details behind a financial plan, how you can create one, and what to do when life throws you some curveballs and the planning doesn’t go as planned. We also talk about my love of Hawaii, and Ethan shares his favorite guilty pleasure meal if you find yourself in Ohau.

I have a confession. After I suffered from single-sided hearing loss in 2018 and my Dr. suggested I dive deep into self-care, I was under the false belief that true self-care had to cost a ton of money. Acupuncture, massage, chiropractor, wellness supplements, you name it. When we moved to the mountains, I started walking in nature and realized that self-care could look much different than I thought. I’m tired of the narrative that big companies tell us that self-care must be expensive and that you must spend a lot on it. That’s why I asked Taylor Elyse Morrison, founder of Inner Workout, to demystify what self-care truly is for us all. Taylor turned being bad at self-care—and being firmly convinced of every human’s potential—into a career. Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, she makes well-being and personal development more accessible. In this conversation, I get to the bottom of what self-care is and how to practice it. We will uncover some simple, easy, affordable, and transformative ways of self-care to help you with whatever you’re going through today.

What’s one of the most overlooked pieces to building wealth? No, it’s not making more money. The secret is in understanding your money story. Your money story operates automatically in the background every second of the day, influencing how you spend and save your money. As our guest Kara Stevens, founder of The Frugal Feminista and author of Heal Your Relationship with Money, says, “Often, the money stories that we have held as adults aren’t even our money stories—they are inherited and unexamined money stories from our childhood.” The truth is your parents honestly were trying to do their best with money. It’s not their fault they got emotionally tripped up by money or made certain choices. But all those choices influenced your money story and where you are today. So, if you want to start growing wealth, you need to start by rewriting your money story and removing what doesn’t fit any longer.
