117. Why You’re Not Hitting Your Money Goals (And How to Create a Money Plan That Actually Works)
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not getting any closer to your money goals — even though you have a decent job and you’re “doing the right things” — this episode is for you.
In this episode, we break down why setting financial goals isn’t enough on its own and how creating a realistic, season-aligned money plan is the missing piece. This is a guilt-free, judgment-free conversation designed to help you figure out where you’re getting stuck, why past goals may not have worked, and how to create a clear roadmap that actually moves you forward.
This episode is especially for first-generation professionals and Latinas who were never taught how to plan their money beyond “pay your bills, save what you can, and hope for the best.”
We talk about how to assess your current financial reality, align your goals with your money season, and build a money plan that includes both strategy and mindset — because your thoughts around money matter just as much as the numbers.
We cover:
- Why you can feel “stuck” financially even with a good income
- How to identify what’s blocking you from reaching your money goals
- How to use the SMART goal framework to create achievable financial goals
- What “perfectionism paralysis” is and how it keeps you stuck
- How financial anxiety and avoidance impact your progress
- Common limiting money beliefs many first-gen professionals and Latinas grow up with
- Why a money plan is more than a budget — it’s a personalized roadmap for your life
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or frustrated by your financial goals, this episode will help you reframe your approach with compassion, clarity, and realism — so your money plan actually works with your life, not against it.
