I help busy moms create systems to save money and pay off debt so they can reach their big dreams faster and easier. I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months including $25,000 in student loans in just 10 months. I’m a Master Financial Coach and have a bachelor's degree in psychology and will help you get to the root of your money problems. Since my journey started I have been featured on Fox Business, Yahoo! Finance, Food Network, USA TODAY, MSN, CNBC, NerdWallet, and many others. “The more you can create that structure to your habits and your routines, the better off you're going to be in the long run because it's gonna keep you consistent, it's gonna keep you moving forward even when you are struggling. It really takes out the confusion and the overwhelm of what to do because you already have that structure in place of what to do. And as long as you just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep up with those habits and those routines that you start once, you don't have to use as much brain power to think about what you need to do” - Ashley Patrick Timestamps: 00:55 - Introduction to the importance of establishing a money routine 04:26 - Navigating consistency in habits and routines 05:35 - Exploring what works for you 06:42 - How to start a money routine 08:28 - Put it in your calendar 07:00 - Set yourself up for success 11:35 - Using a binder to set your financial goals 13:39 - Know what to work on by keeping a to-do list 16:03 - Set a timer while working on your routine 17:06 - Make it fun and reward yourself 19:25 - Have an accountability partner 20:45 - Track your progress with a 15-minute weekly check-in Do you need time, space, and accountability to take action on the things you KNOW you should be doing, such as budgeting so you can actually pay off debt, save money, make a meal plan, and all the other things that keep falling off your to-do list?
