Sunday Reflection: No More Hustling
My name is Eugenie and I am a recovering hustler and work-a-holic. Did I know I was an over worker or hustler, no? I thought it was normal.
My bullet journal
Since starting a bullet journal community it has occurred to me that I completely burn out after the third week of each month. You see I started a business years ago, and it failed and failed and failed again. Fortunately there have been a couple of systems in place: a supportive partner, a great podcasting community, and an amazing accountability partner, Antoinette Minor , and therapy.
Now my life has been revised and I am back to the flow of planning my idea. The more I think about what I want and my goal to become a financial planner and help women/women of color with their finances, the more I realize that I can take a pause on things.
The dream of becoming a Financial Planner, is coming into action. I am finishing up my MBA next month, I am studying for the Series 65, which is an exam to give investment advice legally. The brand and podcast to help introduce professional women/women of color in the financial planning is in motion.
If you are feeling a little trapped or are motivated to do something different, I highly recommend starting a bullet journal

Many of us were raised to be careful with money, to save, and to think about the future—but at the same time, society constantly tells us that spending is a path to happiness, success, or even self-worth. These mixed messages can leave deep imprints, creating what psychologists call inner child wounds around money.
