  • Inspiring podcast for joyful intentional living

    I love listening to Kathleen’s thoughts on FI and joyful living! She has inspired me to be more intentional with my time and spending (I’m currently doing a no-buy month inspired by one of her episodes). I find her voice very comforting and also really enjoy her Stoic Second segment which helps gives perspective. Highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to live a more joyful and intentional life!
