QUOTES
———————————
“I learned - this was more as a teenager - that you really need to do things that yes make money, but that are deeply tied to your values and that make your heart sing.” (09:28) (Julie)

“I really fell in love with technology. I fell in love with the aspect of learning, for one thing, and that plays into coaching and yoga. But I found my way, if you will.” (15:12) (Julie)

“I consider yoga, in a lot of ways, a transitional point in my life. And it provided a lot of healing and affirmation that I was enough.” (20:41) (Julie)

“You take the valuable things you learn from your family: pay off your debt as soon as possible. But, I wanted to move forward with what I loved, instead of being beholden to some other entity where my soul was sucked dry. So, I was able to marry the two, reduce my expenditures, bootstrap everything, and do what made my heart sing at that time.” (24:53) (Julie)

“I consider life coaching and the coaching that I’m doing now as next level yoga coaching or yoga teaching, where it’s coaching the unseen.” (29:00) (Julie)

“How we think affects everything we do in our entire lives.” (36:31) (Julie)

ABOUT MINDFUL MONEY
———————————
Do you struggle with money? You’re not alone.
Money is a means, not an end. It’s a necessity of life for sure, but more money does not always guarantee a “good life”. Money enables many aspects of modern life, but as a dominant consideration it becomes destructive.
The paradox is that more time and energy spent on personal finance does NOT create better outcomes. Unlike many other parts of life, we can’t create better outcomes by being smarter, spending more time, or putting in more effort.
Join Mindful Money author and experienced 40-year investor Jonathan DeYoe as he shares stories from artists, authors, entrepreneurs, and other advisors about how they mindfully minimize their need to think about money and get more out of life.
If you aren’t happy with your finances, feel like money takes more time that it should, or want to place your financial decisions into the broader context of your life, this show is for you.
Each episode will draw the line between the “enough” activities that the academics tell us are additive to family outcomes, and those “little bit more” efforts that take time and sap energy, but do NOT improve outcomes.
