Can you believe we’re already in the third week of the New Year?   Have you flown into January and already have multiple new projects up and running? Or are you just getting round to opening your emails and working on your plan for the year? Either way is totally fine.    The perfect time to plan out your year is whenever you actually do it!    Mark and I like to start planning things out in December to give ourselves space for the year ahead, but if that’s not your vibe, don’t force it.    You can make your plan any time. Sometimes, we don’t really get to it until February, which is Lunar New Year … so it totally still works.    At its core, our planning process is very simple.    Listen to this episode, where I share how to avoid scheduling burnout without compromising my goals.

Welcome to another year of the Chill & Prosper podcast!   We’re diving right into the big stuff: money worries.   I’m ready to stop worrying about money!    Let’s face it: there are so many things happening in the world right now that can make us feel unsure. The last couple of years especially have created a lot of money worries for a lot of people.    And let's not gaslight ourselves:, there are real economic pressures that are happening right now.   So that's my disclaimer straight off the bat, today’s podcast episode is not about loving and lighting our way out of money worries.    And I’m also not pretending that those things don't exist - that the economy is perfect, there's no poverty in the world, and we're just going to ignore all of that.    No, I’m talking about what you can personally do when you're feeling worried about money, as everyone can have money worries at any level of income.    You might think that when you have a particular amount of money, then you'll never feel fearful about money again.    And that's absolutely not true.    You can feel good at any income level, and you can also feel not so good at any income level.    You might think, "Oh, Denise, she's the chillpreneur. She's so lucky. She must never worry about money."    And you know what? That is true a lot of the time.    So I want to acknowledge my privilege here.   I'm a very wealthy woman, and I absolutely have a lot of privilege and wealth in my life now.    But that doesn't mean I still don't worry about money sometimes.    I worry about my responsibilities.    I worry about being able to take care of all of my employees, my family, and my assets.    So I do a lot of the things I share in today’s podcast to help me when I feel scared.
