145 - Reset Your Life and Achieve Your Dreams

Today, we're diving into "The Great Money Reset" by Jill Schlesinger. This book is perfect for anyone who wants to make their dreams a reality while still being financially responsible. Jill has a fantastic podcast where she gives financial advice and helps people plan for their retirement, and she brings that same expertise to this book.

In "The Great Money Reset," Jill encourages us to dream big and then figure out how to make those dreams a reality without sacrificing our financial stability. She recommends taking a hard look at our finances and creating a detailed budget to see where we can cut costs. Jill also suggests thinking outside the box when it comes to negotiating with our employers or family members to get what we want.

What I love about this book is that it comes with a 10-rule plan to help us figure out what we want and how to plan for it. Jill reminds us to be realistic and avoid disappointment by setting achievable goals. She also encourages us to take advantage of the tax system and make smart moves to stay in control of our emotions.

Overall, "The Great Money Reset" is a must-read for anyone who wants to achieve their dreams without sacrificing their financial well-being. Pair it with "Ask for It" to create a knockout punch that will help you get everything you want in life. So go ahead, dream big, and let both Jills help you make it a reality!

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
