179. Mindset Shifts – Changing Our Minds About Money and Life Choices
Sep 6, 2026

We’ve certainly had some mindset shifts about our financial and life choices over the years, and according to Sahil Bloom, adapting your beliefs is the ultimate sign of intelligence. We get incredibly honest about the things we’ve changed our stance on over the years, and why. We unpack how our shifting mindsets have evolved alongside our lives, like downsizing to a smaller home, paying off our mortgages, and even our closely held beliefs about eyelash curlers. From rethinking our strict views on monthly subscriptions to abandoning the exhausting hustle of travel hacking, we explore how changing your mind is a critical part of personal growth.

Liz joins this week’s podcast as we talk about mindset shifts and much more:
