  EP 27. Wellness, Simplicity Series - Credit Card Chaos vs. Money Simplicity

  Aug 11, 202618 minS1

  Sarah’s coming to you fresh out of bed, coffee in hand, and straight from the wild energy of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. After long nights working the ticket booth, she’s witnessed firsthand the exhausting chaos people create by juggling dozens of credit cards just to pay a simple fee. In this episode, Sarah gets real about the dangers of overcomplicating your finances - calling out the myth of “travel hacking” with 16 credit cards and showing how it leads to overwhelm, not freedom. With her signature no-fluff, no-filter style, she breaks down why simplicity is the real path to financial peace and shares actionable steps to help you cut the chaos for good. What You Will Learn Why awareness through transaction categorization is the first step to taking back control of your money How to evaluate the number of accounts and credit cards you’re using - and whether they’re helping or hurting The power of cash envelopes (especially the “free money” category) to instantly calm spending chaos Why it’s time to ditch “buy now, pay later” services like Klarna - and what those habits are really costing you How to define what simplicity actually looks like for you, so you can stop wishing and start acting Support the show Ready to take your first step?

  EP. 26 Wellness, Simplicity Series - What Sturgis, RV Life, and Letting Go Taught Me About Living Intentionally

  Aug 4, 202618 minS1

  In this episode, Sarah Jones gets real about one of the most misunderstood words in intentional living - simplicity. Sparked by her behind-the-scenes experience at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally’s clothing-optional campground, Sarah unpacks how judgment from outsiders can complicate our pursuit of peace. She shares honest stories from RV life, challenges the myth that “downsizing” is the only path to simplicity, and offers practical steps for decluttering your life and finances. This episode is a grounding reminder that simplicity isn’t about owning less - it’s about choosing more intentionally. What You Will Learn ✦ Why the loudest judgment about “simple living” often comes from outside the community - and how that blocks our own peace. ✦ How to redefine simplicity on your own terms, regardless of what your life looks like to others. ✦ What real-life simplicity looks like for a full-time RVer: morning walks, sunrises, and grounding routines. ✦ How your spending habits mirror the chaos or peace in your life, and how to use this insight for financial clarity. ✦ Why buying things that require ongoing attention is really buying complexity - not comfort. ✦ A practical 4-step Simplicity Audit to help you identify and eliminate what’s adding noise to your life. ✦ How to make one intentional choice this week to move closer to your version of a simple, wealthy life.

Whether you’ve just received a financial gift, an inheritance, a work bonus, or you’re simply trying to figure out where your money should go next - Sarah walks you through the real order of operations for your money plan.
