Hello, beloveds!
We have a mini-series! The first 2 episodes are available on all your usual podcast platforms (Spotify, ApplePodcasts, Soundcloud, etc). The third and last of the series will come out in October (6 in total; 3 in English and 3 in Portuguese... or 8 if we include the one about the five thoughts that hold us back in financial anxiety).
I have a series of technical issues, swapped laptops, but decided to ship, according to an internal dialogue I have about perfection: done is better than perfect. Since I started the podcast, Anxiety, My Friend - Ansiedade, Minha Amiga, back in January 2020, I have had this internal agreement: It's not about perfection, but rather about sharing content that might help improve real lives and lifestyles. I always have this at the back of my mind; "find what feels good" (Thanks, Adrienne Mischler!), so I hope to spark thoughts or emotions that may empower people to get out there, do more research and go further on their own journey. Take what serves you, leave what does not, and send me your suggestions and comments.

In this mini-series, I spoke to people whose relationship with money and investments I admire, and they are also people that do not simply follow the trends blindly, but instead, they design their own paths. The 5 questions I asked them were:
Why do you save and invest?
When is the best time to start saving and investing?
How can you save on a low salary?
What's a surprising way in which you save?
If you could work only 4 days a week or when you reach FIRE, what do you aspire to do with the extra time?
Now, enjoy these delicious shots of financial freedom, as you build an authentic and full life, accepting what you cannot change and changing what you can. Listen, share, and help me bring more serenity and freedom to the world.
Big bear hug,
Raquel Coelho
