Aug 31, 2025

Setting limits can get a bad rap, but limits are actually the key to a more joyful and abundant financial life. We redefine budgeting and setting limits not as a thing of deprivation, but as a path to peace, and share how setting healthy financial limits can reduce decision fatigue, build powerful discipline, and surprisingly, create more freedom and joy with your money.

Erica joins this week’s podcast as we talk about:
