Fiscal Fitness - Money Strategies for the Fitness Obsessed

Episode 116: Kids and Money-Teach Money Lessons to Your Kids Whether They're Toddlers or Teenagers

In this episode of the Fiscal Fitness Podcast, Coach Jaclyn interviews Coach Jill, who is a mom of two, all about kids and money. They discuss at what age to introduce debit cards, how much you should spend on daycare, and how much allowance you should give and how it should be given or earned. Jill also admits that at one point when her two boys were young she was paying $20,000/year for childcare. It gets better parents of young kids!

Episode 117: What Bodybuilding Taught Me About Wealth Building

When it comes to bodybuilding and wealth building there is one thing that seems to be very true: Once you build the foundation, it’s pretty easy to maintain. Unfortunately building that strong foundation is what keeps so many of us held back. We face a long list of challenges, including:

• Too many choices/options and trying to decide which is right for you 
• Decision fatigue
• Trying to use an app when it’s not built for your unique scenario or needs 
• Lack of accountability
• No ability to ask questions or troubleshoot as you go
• Sustainability/Consistency over speed
• Seeing it as a lifestyle vs a finite goal with an end date (this is a lifelong endeavor)

If you follow Coach Jill’s instagram feed, you know she’s no stranger to the gym. Despite suffering a debilitating back injury years ago, Jill recommitted to her fitness in a big way in 2020 and has turned that 2020 motivation into a life-changing and life altering way of looking at her health and fitness.

Episode 118: Making the most of a Disney Vacation on a budget with Vacation Planner, Stacy Ellis

If you have kids, usually it’s not a matter of to Disney or not – it’s a matter of when. Whether you’ve never been to Disney or make it an annual pilgrimage like our very own Coach Jaclyn, this episode is for you. We brought in an expert to talk about ways to plan and budget for your perfect Disney vacation.

We chatted with Stacy Ellis, a travel advisor for Key to the World Travel, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. She’s been to Disney more than 16 times and loves helping families and Disney loving couples plan their best Disney trip.

In this episode, we discuss with Stacy:

• The average cost for a family of four to Disneyland and Disney World
• Figuring out your ideal Disney trip (everyone does Disney different)
• Off season vs. peak season costs
• How to plan in order to not blow your Disney budget
• Staying on a Disney property to not
• Planning decisions (what to pack, what to eat, what add-ons to buy)
• Tips for doing Disney with little kids (Did you know kids under 3 are free?!?)

Stacy’s biggest and best piece of Disney travel advice for people with kids: Don’t wait until they are older. Take the trip as soon as you can and enjoy every moment.

Episode 119 - When You Give Too Much: Are You Sabotaging Your Financial Progress?

A caretaker is someone who uses their time, money, or energy to assist their immediate family members, friends, or colleagues. 

• Are you always stepping up to meet the needs of those around you? 
• Do you support a spouse or partner by working a lot or in a job you don’t enjoy so they can pursue a hobby or dream job?
• If you ask yourself often, but “What would they do without me?”

If so, you may fall pretty high on the spectrum of caretaker tendencies. 

As financial coaches, we sometimes have to coach our clients to balance their caretaker tendencies with taking care of themselves and their own finances. We support people to give, but in ways that don’t cause stress on their health or finances.  

In this episodes of the Fiscal Fitness Podcast, learn:

• What care taker tendencies are
• How they show up
• How to balance the need and desire to help with your own financial goals
• Ways to flex your non-caretaker muscles

S2 Episode 1: What Money Management Actually Means

We are here to dispel the myth as to what it means to be financially fit. And fitness folks, we’re speaking your language. This is a podcast for people who are fitness-obsessed but maybe not so great when it comes to their finances. So, why are we talking about money management and fitness?

 

So many times people think Fiscal Fitness or managing your money well results in more money. That is one piece of it. That’s a really fun piece of it. But it’s just like saying getting in shape is ALL about looking better. That’s just ONE small part of getting in shape. There are so many things that go into that transformation - your mindset, the way you feel about yourself, the way you feel about your life, your internal health, your strength - all of those are part of your fitness journey. And the same is true when it comes to getting financially in shape.

 

If your fitness and your health are dialed in, but your money isn’t, then your total wellbeing is still out of alignment. We want to boost your entire well-being. We want you healthy financially, physically, mentally, emotionally - all of those things. We want to make it so that money stress is no longer the norm.

 

This episode of the Fiscal Fitness Podcast with your hosts and Financial Coaches Kelsa Dickey and Jill Emanuel is all about shifting the mindset for personal trainers, fitness enthusiasts, and athletes. We don’t want you to think about what you SHOULD NOT do with your money. We want you to start thinking about what it is that you CAN do with your money. We want you to start dreaming again. We want you to start creating goals around those dreams and then putting a plan in place with your money as the tool to achieve those dreams.
