Send me a text

This episode started because my YouTube feed randomly turned into a whole finance channel, and it made me realize I’m 40… so compounding interest doesn’t have the same runway it did at 20. Then I heard one line about Jesus and leftovers that hit me right in the chest and made me look at all the “leftovers” I waste—not out of carelessness, but out of forgetting and not planning. That mindset shift led me straight to my orange tree situation and a full-on no-waste orange adventure that turned into real stewardship in real life. So today I’m sharing a simple Sunday Money Reset—five quick steps to help you pay attention, reduce the chaos, and stop waking up midweek wondering where your money went.

3 Takeaways from this episode:

1. Stewardship isn’t about perfection—it’s about pausing long enough to ask, “How can I use what I already have?”
2. A quick weekly reset (not a full budget) helps you catch surprises early so your week doesn’t get expensive by accident.
3. Guardrails—especially around meals—protect your money and your energy because decision fatigue is real.
