Why we feel lost sometimes đ¤ˇââď¸
A client and I had an insight this week as we chatted: we spend so much more in this life than our money.
We also spend our time and our attention.
We can spend our money, our time, and our attention in a âdefaultâ way, which tends to be the path of least resistance.
Or, we can spend with intention.
We use a budget to spend our money in alignment with our values.
We use a calendar to spend our time in alignment with our values.
We use a to-do list to spend our attention in alignment with our values.
Most of us donât feel lost because we donât know how to track our money, use a calendar, or write a to-do list.
Most of us feel lost because we donât practice connecting our daily actions with our values.
If youâre feeling a little frazzled, a little lost, or lacking a little intention in the way you spend your money, time, or attention, I invite you to have an open conversation with me at no cost and no obligation.

Introducing "It's Not About The Money" - A Podcast by Steve Nay and Tyler Smith
My friend Steve Nay and I started a podcast two months ago where we talk about our experiences starting businesses while working full-time jobs. (Are we crazy? MaybeâŚ)
Steve is an accomplished software engineer starting a tax preparation business, and of course Iâve started a one-to-one coaching business on top of my day job as a purchasing director.
Weâre both brand new to podcasting and business ownership, so if you enjoy watching people learn from their mistakes, grab your popcorn. đż

Last month I sent an email about the small, frequent, forgettable purchases that quietly drain your money. I concluded that the best way to stop the leak was awareness. But since then, I realized I donât actually agree with myself. Awareness is valuable, but knowing where your money went after you spent it isnât the same as stopping the leak in the first place. The real problem isnât that spending is invisible. Itâs that we donât decide before we buy whether a purchase aligns with what we...
Last week, I asked: What would you do with $5 million? And wow. Your responses were incredible. Some of you mapped out every dollar down to the cent like one reader who planned everything from their exact mortgage payoff amount and finishing the basement to funding a sidewalk for their neighborhood. Others had a simpler plan: Half in Bitcoin, half in VOO. But the most fascinating part? No one said theyâd buy a mansion or a fleet of luxury cars. Instead, I noticed four big patterns: Financial...
Iâve been watching Beast Games. Go ahead. Judge me. As I watched contestants fight for a life-changing prize, I started wondering: What would I do with $5 million? Itâs more money than most people will ever see or earn. To put it in perspective, youâd have to make $125,000 a year (after taxes!) for 40 years to reach that number. So hereâs my question for you: If I handed you $5 million right now, would you know exactly how to use it? Most people think a sudden windfall would solve all their...
