Where established business owners reveal what it’s really like to be CEO and simultaneously pursue abundance. Abundance looks different for everyone and no two businesses are built the same. During this open conversation, discover how circumstance, actions, and events created emotional reactions of either abundance or scarcity throughout their business-building journey. Much of whether we grow or get stuck playing small depends on the mindset we choose and the actions we take during the highs and lows throughout our entrepreneurial journey. Find out how workload, relationships, and money played a role in business owners’ decisions, emotions, and mental health during various stages in their business, when they made key decisions about hiring, marketing, and outsourcing, and how hosting their own podcast played a role in their personal development AND the growth of their business. Virginia Elder, host and owner of Podcast Abundance, shares pieces of her own journey from corporate life to freelancer to business owner, plus interviews other entrepreneurs with thriving businesses who use their podcast to establish authority in their niche, provide educational content for potential clients, and drive leads into their business. During the first half of each interview episode, you’ll get an inside look at the guest’s business and hear about challenges, plus the habits and actions that help navigate them. Our goal is to uncover the mindset and mental health shifts that worked for them to help you thrive during your journey. Then, in the second half of the interview, we switch the conversation to marketing strategies and learn how launching a podcast helped them grow their business and mature as a founder, speaker, and collaborator for their brand. Every business needs a reliable marketing arm that consistently and automatically attracts potential clients, and these guests have a successful, active podcast doing exactly that! Learn how they started, what changed, and how they’ve grown since becoming a podcast host. We’ll reveal podcasting strategies that work and prep you for the emotional rollercoaster that occurs any time you step up to play big in life. Abundance is within reach for all of us, but the pursuit of abundance is never over. It takes intention, a clear vision for what abundance means to you, and a consistent level of consciousness around your actions and emotions throughout your journey. Cheers to Reaching Abundance together!

Are you feeling ready to tackle your debt, change your money management habits, or draw your own financial line in the sand?
You are not alone.
After listening to this episode, you’ll walk away equipped with the tools I’ve used that created momentum in our financial lives and that have carried us from drowning in debt all the way to debt freedom and beyond.
You'll hear how I used these tools differently back then versus now and which habits helped me be consistent along the journey. Just as motherhood is a journey, so is money management, and your needs and goals morph and change over time.
For a long time before we had children, my husband and I lived well on our combined two paychecks and excellent credit. We bought what we wanted for the house, went out to eat often, and enjoyed the freedom of two incomes and no kids.
But when we had kids, our financial lives seemed to steadily get more and more difficult. One thing was clear to me, however, and that was I wouldn’t let our financial difficulties affect our children.
That’s when I drew my line in the sand and became more determined than ever to create the life of abundance I knew I’d always wanted.
Quietly, with very little progress at a time, I began to bring bills current, pay off the smallest debts first, and use these 3 fabulous financial apps and tools the way they were meant to be used.
In hindsight, I know if I would have had a community or a coach, the journey would have been much faster, much less emotional and confusing, and much easier overall, which is why I share this information today.
Diving into any financial app is quite the endeavor. You've got to link accounts and import transactions, and don't you wish that someone would just spill the beans and tell you which ones are really worth it?
Well, cheers, because in this episode, I share exactly that. Plus, you'll find out some of the nitty-gritty details from my own crazy financial journey. If I can dig my family out of debt, you can too!
3 Financial Tools I used to Get Debt-Free Quickly
Magnify Money - Identifying the best set of financial products for your circumstances
Mint - Figuring out your net worth
You Need a Budget -Assists in making a plan for financial stability and success
Using these apps helped so much that in just 3 years we became debt free by paying off $80k (without 6-figures in income, either)!
In this episode, listen for:
- How debt ruled my life - I even considered bankruptcy as a potential solution
- Focus on accumulating assets that increase in value
- How to select financial products that have an A or B rating through Magnify Money to ensure the best experience possible.
In this episode, you’ll also hear:
[12:43] What really happens when you file bankruptcy and why we didn’t go through with it
[16:46] Details regarding the tools I used to get out debt
[22:55] As our financial journey progressed, I learned about and started focusing on net worth
My own financial journey toward debt freedom fueled my passion for helping other women just like you to create the abundant life you WANT.
Consistency, intentional actions toward small goals you set for yourself, and perseverance through times will produce results - make use of these financial tools, and you’ll begin to see a fresh financial outlook in no time.
