  • Wealth kick #2: The naked truth
    Jan 11 2026

    Why is it so hard to confront your money head-on? Why is the first step always the toughest?

    In this episode, we go to battle with procrastination and guests Ruth Henderson (Happy Saver), Reagan White (Where's my money) and Brooke Roberts give us the little nudge we need to take an honest look at our financial situation.

    This is the second episode of the Wealth Kick, a limited series to change your perspective on money for the new year. Until the end of January, we’re serving up a little financial soul-searching, easy exercises you can use anywhere, and a few wacky stories.

    She says losing EB is not a small thing.
