Welcome to Fintastic Females, where we embark on a journey to discover the mythical island of financial freedom together. I’m Kalyani, your next-door finance expert, and I’m thrilled to be here with you. Alongside me is Rupali, another finance expert, and together we’ll be sharing our experiences in the world of money and energetics. Today marks the beginning of our first episode in 2023, and we hope you’ve had a fantastic December and a great start to the year. We took a break to reflect and consolidate our plans, ensuring that we deliver the best content for you and ourselves. And now, here we are! In this episode, we’ll be discussing beliefs, belief systems, and setting intentions for the year. Although it’s already January 20th, there’s no specific timeline for working on these topics. The new year serves as a reminder to prioritize self-improvement and explore important aspects of our lives. We’ll cover various subjects that interest us, starting with the January effect. Let’s talk about the spending patterns during December and January. How have you been navigating through this period? For me, I’ve learned to detach myself from the calendar’s influence on my spending habits. Over the years, I’ve realized that December and January can bring about different levels of stress for different people. Personally, I’ve embraced mindful spending and found alternative ways to show love and appreciation to my loved ones. I’ve consciously decided not to put pressure on myself with resolutions but focus more on intentions. Resolutions often feel restrictive and stressful, while intentions feel exciting and open-ended. I haven’t experienced the typical January fatigue that many people talk about. It’s interesting because I’ve been feeling a different kind of fatigue lately. I recently fell ill, which is quite rare for me. I used to take pride in my good health, but this time, I had a severe flu that lasted for two weeks. So, my fatigue has a physical connotation at the moment. Regarding spending, I’ve noticed that both you and I are often drawn to expenses related to personal growth. Through our own experiences and the conversations we’ve had on Fantastic Females, we have come to realize the power of knowledge, intention, and deliberate action. We are excited to share more insights, unconventional wisdom, and innovative approaches to finance and energetics with you. So, here’s to stability with ease and joy, intentional action, and embracing the freedom to grow on your own terms. Together, let’s create a future where financial well-being is not a source of stress but a tool for empowerment and fulfillment. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we look forward to continuing this adventure with you on Fintastic Females. Stay tuned for more exciting episodes and valuable insights. Wishing you a prosperous and fulfilling year ahead! Signing off with gratitude and enthusiasm, Kalyani and Rupali, your passionate finance experts.
