"Do NOT Say You're Broke" | The Stress Coach Who Worked In A Psychiatric Ward On Money, Rest & Burnout — Celine

Do not open your mouth and say that you're broke. The words you say are an instruction to your brain."This week on Asset Avenue, I sit down with Celine — stress coach and founder of Celutions for one of the most honest conversations we've had on the show. Celine has worked on the frontline of a psychiatric inpatient unit, walked away from the NHS to build her business full-time, survived a breakdown in 2024 that nearly ended it all, and now helps high-achieving women bridge the gap between mental health and money.We get into why so many of us are "broke anxious," what financial scarcity actually does to your brain, why rest isn't laziness, and the boundaries you need to set before burnout sets in. If money stresses you out — this one's for you.💬 "Stress kills.

I Bought a House at 22 — Here's What Nobody Tells You About Joint Finances

We're told to chase the deposit, go full-time on content, and let the side hustle run quietly in the background. But what actually happens when you do?This week on Asset Avenue, Bola Sol sits down with Abbi (Abbi Talks Money) — finance-degree creator, homeowner at 22, and proudly back in a 9–5 after a year of going full-time. Abbi is refreshingly honest about the bits most people leave out: the loneliness of self-employment, the buffer you need on top of your deposit, the tax and admin behind every side hustle, and why she's turned down "so many" brand deals that didn't align.We get into salary transparency, buying property with a partner you're not married to (and the Declaration of Trust protecting both of them), the 50/30/20 rule, spending without guilt, and what wealth really means once "freedom" stops being the goal — and "choice" takes its place.A grounded, money-honest conversation for anyone juggling a job, a side hustle, and a life.⏱️ Timestamps0:00 — Intro & cold open1:08 — "What's your greatest asset?"1:59 — Going full-time as a creator — and why she went back to a 9–53:34 — The hidden loneliness of self-employment3:59 — Why she'll never knock a 9–55:18 — How "Abbi Talks Money" started6:01 — Why she shares her salary publicly7:25 — Buying her first home at 229:50 — The deposit isn't enough — build a buffer12:24 — Taking a pay cut for a job she actually wanted14:07 — Buying with a partner you're not married to16:22 — Her Declaration of Trust explained17:41 — Money red flags in relationships20:26 — Community vs. audience on social media21:49 — What her community taught her about money23:21 — Her money upbringing & her grandma's rule25:02 — Side hustles: the tax & admin nobody talks about28:08 — The 50/30/20 rule & spending without guilt30:46 — Turning her own budgeting tools into products31:33 — What wealth really means to her: choice32:53 — Women & investing — "just start"34:44 — Rapid fire round36:48 — Where to find Abbi🎙️ Follow Asset AvenueNew episodes every Thursday.

Size 24 To Size 10: "The Moment I Lost The Weight, Promotions, Men & 'Friends' All Changed Overnight

Aretha Abimbola (@ArethasGymAndTonic) was a size 24 and 21 stone at her heaviest and, in her words, "a prisoner in my body." Today she's a size 10. But the transformation she didn't see coming wasn't physical. In this episode of Asset Avenue, Aretha sits down with Bola Sol to talk about the part of weight loss nobody prepares you for: the promotions that suddenly appeared, the men who suddenly noticed her, the friends who turned cold and why "the only thing that changed was my size."
