In this week’s podcast, we explore how social rules and gender language connotations affect our ability to ask for what we want and need. Kamal and Tracy will give practical tips and useful strategies to help you take those first steps into a difficult conversation. If it can be talked about, it can be fixed.

Common Investment Mistakes
We all make mistakes. Very few of these errors are irrevocable or fatal. But almost all are avoidable. Kamal and Tracy talk about the most common investment missteps that we all can make. Strong emotions like fear or impatience, can lead to reactive and counter-productive decisions like taking on too much or not enough risk. Too often we rely on unqualified advice, whether it be friends, relatives, or social media. Learn how to identify and avoid these common pitfalls so you can have as smooth a journey to achieving your goals as possible.

Your Money Strategy
The key to developing a powerful investment strategy is knowing where you want to go. Kamal and Tracy teach us how to determine our financial objectives by looking at three key factors: What are my top three money goals? How much does each one cost and what is the timeline? Once you have these defined you are ready and able to move on to the next step. Learn about developing an asset allocation strategy and the different types of investments that are available to reach your specific goals.

Gender and Money
What is the truth about gender and finance? And what is just old school sexist nonsense? When it comes to talking about women, men, and money, it is hard to see the forest from the trees. We are all bogged down with socio-cultural ideas and expectations that are familiar, often unconscious biases. These insidious beliefs can impede our progress towards a healthy, empowered relationship with our money - and each other. Listen in as Tracy and Kamal take apart some myths and eliminate the dark shadows that may be getting in the way of you being a financial powerhouse.

Who do you listen to?
It’s a noisy world out there filled with contradictory opinions and misleading advice. How can you fine tune your ear to hear the wisdom that fits your values and is appropriate for your situation? Media is often not a good friend and can be our worst enemy when it comes to building wealth. Media is meant to elicit strong emotions. The viewpoints are often over simplified and can make us feel like we are falling behind and that everyone is smarter than us. Listen to Kamal and Tracy as they help you learn to discern the voices of wisdom so you can grow your money with confidence.

Cash Flow Practicalities
You are your own boss. Economic power and freedom starts from owning your personal financial situation. We do this by understanding how and when we spend. Tracy and Kamal will walk you through the practicalities and pitfalls of how you measure and track your cashflow. Cash flow is defined as money in and money out. It is not a budget. It is not like a diet meant to constrict your behaviour or punish you for making a wrong turn. This is a long term holistic approach to help you stay awake and curious about how you use, save and earn your money. Knowing how to keep track of spending is the foundation of an empowered financial life. Make it simple. Keep it real. Watch it grow.

How Much Is Enough?
How much is enough for you? Have you ever heard of a wealthy person using the word abundance? They aren’t searching for abundance...or prosperity. They have enough! Enough can be defined by values, a sense of peace, as well as by numbers. Tracy and Kamal, our Financial Dynamos wrangle with the idea that enough...is enough! No amount of affirmations will allow us to skip from insufficiency straight to wealth. There are mental, emotional and actionable steps that set us on the path from where we are to where we want to be. It can always be done. One step at a time!
