In this episode of Happy Life Agenda, I share the messy and honest parts of that process, how letting go of control, listening instead of defending myself, and spending time in stillness shifted my relationships and my peace of mind. We talk about what it really means to be open. Not just to new ideas and feedback but to letting people live their own lives without me trying to fix or shape them. It hasn’t been easy. It’s one of the hardest skills I’ve ever had to learn but it’s also been the most freeing. If...

Start by creating a simple one-page net worth tracker, knowing what you own and owe, and protecting your assets before marriage. You don’t have to wait until you feel "ready" to take control of your financial life. Just take that first step! Let’s rewrite your financial...
