The Traffic Light Method That's Transforming Money Mindsets

Hey Beautiful Mama! 👋

Ever feel guilty about spending money?

Like you're always one step behind your financial goals?

I felt the same way until last month's podcast interview with Britt Baker changed everything.

Picture this...

A small living room in San Francisco, filled with women eager to master their finances.

That's where Britt's story began.

What started as an intimate investment club transformed into a movement of 10,000 women taking control of their money story.

Why did it grow so quickly?

Because Britt understood something powerful…

Financial freedom isn't about complicated strategies or fancy terms.

It's about clarity and intention.

This got me thinking about how we often overcomplicate money. 

We get caught up in the "shoulds" and forget to focus on what actually moves the needle.

That's when Britt shared the framework that transformed my entire relationship with money:

The Traffic Light Method.

Here's how to use it this week:

Green Light Activities: (These directly grow your wealth)

• Opening that high-yield savings account (even 4-5% interest adds up!)

• Having weekly money check-ins with your family

• Investing 15 minutes daily to track your business expenses

• Taking action on revenue-generating opportunities

Yellow Light Activities: (These support wealth building)

• Creating systems for your business finances

• Developing your pricing strategy

• Planning your growth investments

• Setting up automated savings

Red Light Activities: (These drain resources)

• Emotional spending during stressful moments

• Subscribing to "maybe someday" tools

• Making business purchases without a clear ROI

• Following trendy investments out of FOMO

Your 7-Day Money Transformation Plan.

1. Start Your Money Journal Track every dollar with this twist: Write how each purchase makes you feel. Happy? Guilty? Neutral? Since starting this practice, I've saved $300 just by noticing my stress-spending patterns.
   

2. Do Your Traffic Light Audit Review last month's statements and label everything red, yellow, or green. Be honest—this isn't about judgment, it's about clarity. When I did this, I found $250 in "red light" subscriptions I could redirect to business growth.
   

3. Choose Your Power Focus Pick one green light activity for this week. Maybe it's finally opening that emergency fund Britt recommends (earning 4.5% instead of 0.01%!) or having that money conversation you've been postponing.

Remember what Britt shared…

"Money is just a tool to create the life experiences you truly want."

Let's make those experiences count, Mama!

With love and gratitude,
