Justine opens by telling a gut-wrenching story about giving VERY honest, public feedback at her corporate job. This left her feeling vulnerable to being canned, but she got a lot of respect from others in her role. The wheels of change had started to turn, but they started turning in earnest when she attended a personal finance training session. That’s when she started investing in index funds. Individual stocks and bonds followed. Justine then shares that she was once in an abusive relationship. She worked hard to overcome that trauma, and getting her finances in order was a big part of that. Interestingly, trading options reminded her of the emotion of that relationship. Then, the conversation transitions to Justine’s work with her clients, like whether she’s seeing any similar drives or goals. The first thing to do is remove the word perfect from your vocabulary. Next, they work together to examine their money mindset. A big thing up front is HONESTY. In short, when starting out you often need to lay the mental and financial foundations before you invest. There’s up front work to be done. Then, Lauren and Justine transition to making the connection between physical and finance fitness. Again, Justine shows strength in the midst of vulnerability as she shares the story of when she moved her body to move past her abusive relationship. It’s all about knowing yourself. Justine closes with words of encouragement. You will walk away from this episode feeling motivated to start or continue your journey.
