54. How to Start Affording the Life You Actually Want

What does it really mean to afford something? Most people define affordability by one simple question: Do I have the money in my bank account right now? But in this episode, I challenge that idea and invite you to think about affordability in a completely different way. I explore how our definition of “affording” something shapes our spending habits, financial priorities, and long-term wealth. Just because you can swipe a credit card or have enough cash for a purchase doesn’t necessarily mean it aligns with the life you’re trying to build. True affordability requires looking at your needs, your long-term goals, and the choices you’re making with your money every day. In this episode, I talk about how to shift from a scarcity mindset (“I can’t afford that”) to an empowered mindset (“I’m choosing how to spend my money”) and why that shift can completely change your relationship with money. I also share practical questions you can ask yourself before making purchases so your spending actually supports the life and future you want. If you want to build long-term wealth and start making more intentional financial decisions, this conversation will help you rethink what it truly means to afford something 🎁 OFFER 🎁 Subscribe to the show, leave a review and share a screenshot on your IG stories tagging ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@briana_fehringer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/briana_fehringer/].

53. Why Making More Money Doesn’t Make You Wealthy

What would you do if you suddenly started making more money each month? In this episode, I explore a powerful question that most people never stop to consider: What would having more money actually mean to you? Inspired by a social media post that sparked a lot of debate about income and lifestyle, I dive into the mindset patterns that often keep people stuck financially, even when they earn more. I discuss why the belief that “making more money means spending more money” quietly sabotages long-term wealth building. Instead of focusing on appearances, luxury, or keeping up with others, I share why intentional planning, investing, and aligning your spending with your true goals are the keys to creating lasting financial freedom. We also talk about how skepticism, comparison, and judgment can keep you stuck, and how shifting your mindset toward curiosity and possibility can open new opportunities for wealth. If you’ve ever wondered why some people build wealth while others stay stuck in the cycle of earning and spending, this episode will give you a new perspective on how to approach money, mindset, and long-term financial goals. 🎁 OFFER 🎁 Subscribe to the show, leave a review and share a screenshot on your IG stories tagging ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@briana_fehringer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/briana_fehringer/].

52. Your Body Knows (Even When Everyone Else Thinks They Do)

In this episode, I talk about something that comes up often in health, wellness, and even money: outsourcing our authority to other people. Whether it’s doctors, fitness experts, nutrition trends, or social media advice, we are constantly being told what we should be doing with our bodies. But the truth is that no one knows your body better than you do. Not even a doctor. I share personal experiences navigating changing health patterns, the pressure to follow popular wellness trends, and how learning to listen to my body has helped me reconnect with my own inner authority. Just because something works for other people doesn’t mean it will work for you. Your intuition and your body’s signals are powerful guides, if you’re willing to listen. In this episode, we explore how rebuilding trust with your body can transform not only your health, but also how you show up in life and in your relationship with money. 🎁 OFFER 🎁 Subscribe to the show, leave a review and share a screenshot on your IG stories tagging ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@briana_fehringer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/briana_fehringer/].

51. Is It Resistance or a Timing Issue? How to Tell the Difference

Have you ever wanted something so badly, but it just wasn’t happening on your timeline? In this episode, I’m talking about timing vs. divine timing, and how to tell the difference between growth resistance, misalignment, and something simply not being aligned right now. I share personal stories from my own life (including my journey to law school and shifts in my business) to show you how timing disruptions can actually be powerful redirections. Sometimes the issue isn’t that something isn’t meant for you. It’s that it’s not meant for you yet. Inside this episode, I explore: * How to recognize the difference between fear-based resistance and timing resistance * Why your body gives clearer answers than your mind * The energetic cost of forcing outcomes * How aligned mindset + aligned action create aligned results * The power of surrendering control and asking for guidance If you’re feeling frustrated, attached to an outcome, or confused about whether to push forward or pause, this conversation will help you tune into your body, practice discernment, and trust the unfolding of your life. You don’t have to figure it out alone. And you don’t have to force what isn’t ready. Sometimes it’s not a “no.” It’s just “not yet.” 🎁 OFFER 🎁 Subscribe to the show, leave a review and share a screenshot on your IG stories tagging ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@briana_fehringer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/briana_fehringer/].
