For the season finale of Season 22, I am thrilled to welcome Jillian Johnsrud, author of Retire Often, to discuss how we can redesign our lives to include multiple career breaks instead of waiting until 65 to enjoy our freedom. As I wrap up 10 years of the podcast and prepare for my own hiatus, Jillian explains why we should treat our careers like interval training rather than a marathon to avoid burnout, sharing how she has successfully taken a dozen mini-retirements over the past two decades while raising six kids.We dive deep into the practical logistics of designing a break of one month or longer, covering everything from negotiating sabbaticals with employers to the specific steps entrepreneurs must take to automate their businesses. Jillian also debunks the fear that time off ruins your finances, explaining how to handle healthcare costs and schooling while traveling, and revealing why mini-retirements can actually serve as capital investments that boost your future career trajectory and lifetime earnings.For full episode show notes, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/449Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

It is such a treat to have Amanda Holden, also known as Dumpster Doggy, back on the show for the first time since February 2020! Since we last spoke, she has pivoted from live events to teaching over 25,000 students online and writing her debut book, How to Be a Rich Old Lady, which comes out this January.In this episode, we discuss why you don’t need to be good at math to be a good investor and why investing is the key to you building a beautiful life. We get into the weeds of investment basics, explaining why retirement accounts like 401ks and RRSPs are just "buckets" for your investments and why understanding the difference between the account and the product is crucial. Amanda also shares her experience working in investment management during the stock market crash of 2008 to explain how we can prepare our portfolios—and our emotions—for the next inevitable downturn.For full episode show notes, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/448Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

What do your freedom years look like? Because too often we are so focused on our day-to-day, we don't leave much space to reflect on "But what are we working towards?" That's why I wanted to re-listen to this episode with Stephanie Myers and Gillian Batt from Our Freedom Years. After years of saving and investing, they were able to quit their day jobs, retire early, and spend their days travelling around the world while documenting it on their YouTube channel. In this interview, they share the steps they took to achieve this big milestone, how to account for things like no longer having a permanent home and paying taxes as a nomad, and the biggest question people ask: "How do I not run out of money?"This episode originally aired on January 13, 2021.To find the original show notes for this episode, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/260Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I sit down with Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, an award-winning economist and author of the new book The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid. Anna breaks down the concept of the "Double Tax," describing it as the "Pink Tax and then some," and explains how the compounded costs of racism and sexism force women of colour to pay more to exist in our economy, and what we can all do to make things more equitable for everyone.For full episode show notes, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/447Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

1Have you ever felt unheard or unseen at work? Or have you ever experienced microaggressions from your co-workers? You’re not alone. Back in 2022, I interviewed Alan Henry, author of Seen, Heard & Paid, to discuss how to navigate a toxic work environment and how to advocate for yourself and others who are more susceptible to discrimination in the workplace due to their skin colour, gender, and other differences. I loved this interview so much that I even shared part of Alan's story in my book Everything but Money, so I hope you enjoy this episode from the archives just as much as I did.

I've been waiting 10 years to do this interview. Like so many other Canadians, reading David Chilton's first book, The Wealthy Barber, is what got me started on my personal finance journey. I learned about paying yourself first, automating your banking, and investing early, and I'm much richer now for it (thanks Dave!). But who knew his book would also propel me into my current career as a financial educator and that one day I'd be able to have him on the podcast to talk to him face-to-face. Since the world looks a lot different now compared to 1989 when his book was first released, he's back with a fully updated version for a new generation, The Wealthy Barber: The Fully Updated All-Time Canadian Classic. Although the fundamentals have stayed the same, some of his advice has changed over time, which is why if you read his original, it's time to read this updated version. So listen, take notes, and I hope this episode inspires you to get started on your personal finance journey too.For full episode show notes, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/446Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Back in 2019, I swore in this podcast episode with Matthew Siwiec, CFP, that I'd never become a financial planner. Cut to 6 years later, and here I am eating my words as a financial planner. But the main reason I wanted him on the show back then was to talk about who you can actually trust in the financial industry, given the alphabet soup of designations that make it hard to know who is actually on your side, and who is just trying to make a sale.This episode originally aired on September 25, 2019.To find the original show notes for this episode, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/205Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever thought you were "bad with money"? Well, in this relisten episode, I interview Gabe Dunn, author of Bad with Money, where we discuss breaking bad money habits, how mental health can have a big impact on your money behaviours, and how to find balance with who you really are and your finances. Not only is this such a fun episode to re-listen to, but it also inspired me to reach back out to Gabe and include their story in my book Everything but Money (isn't the universe funny like that?).This episode originally aired on September 27, 2023.To find the original show notes for this episode, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/374Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Did you know that the LGBTQ wage gap means that queer people earn 90 cents on the dollar, with trans women earning 60 cents on the dollar? If you didn’t, that’s because the unique financial obstacles faced by the LGBTQ community rarely gets the attention they deserve. To bring more awareness to it, I’ve invited Nick Wolny on the podcast to speak about it. He’s a finance columnist for Out Magazine and the author of Money Proud: The Queer Guide to Generate Wealth, Slay Debt, and Build Good Habits to Secure Your Future.In this episode, Nick shares the systemic barriers many queer people face every day to build wealth, how the AIDS epidemic had a big impact on long-term financial planning in the community, and what we all can do as allies to make things more equitable in the future.For full episode show notes, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/444Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

There's a lot more to investing than math and strategies. In fact, some would argue that behaviour is a bigger indicator of how good an investor you are. This is what I discuss in this episode with Dr. Daniel Crosby, a prolific psychologist, behavioural finance expert and author of several books, including The Behavioral Investor.This episode originally aired on December 4, 2019.To find the original show notes for this episode, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/218Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Rose Han, a former Wall Street trader who turned million-subscriber financial YouTuber, joins me on the More Money Podcast, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I have followed Rose's incredible journey since her early days on YouTube, and I was eager to discuss how she went from being $100,000 in debt to becoming a millionaire in only 7 years.We also discussed her new book, Add a Zero, which provides a straightforward path for anyone to achieve financial freedom and reach their first million, no matter their starting point. It all starts with creating a solid foundation, getting your net worth to zero, keeping your emotions in check and having a growth mindset, and slowly getting to your first $1,000, then $100,000, then finally your first $1 million.For full episode show notes, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/443Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Since credit was the topic of yesterday's episode, I thought it only right to relisten to this episode I did with Canada's credit expert and author of The Credit Game, Richard Moxley.

And we're back for Season 22 of the More Money Podcast, and just in time for my favourite time of year — Financial Literacy Month! To kick it off, I've invited Becca Mintz, VP of Credit and Data at Capital One Canada, on the show to talk about a subject many still feel is taboo. I'm talking about having bad credit.Here's the thing, there are a multitude of ways that you have bad credit, or maybe have zero credit history, making it hard to get a credit card or a mortgage. But that doesn't mean you're bad with money and it doesn't mean you don't have any options. Anyone can rebuild their credit, it just takes time and knowing the steps to take to get you there.In the episode, Becca and I clear up some misconceptions and myths about credit (like how checking your credit score negatively impacts it... it doesn't), discussing tools and strategizes to help you rebuild your credit, and why educating yourself about credit is one of the best ways to improve your financial future.Check out Capital One Canada's Learning Hub.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/442Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.In the final episode of this special series, I interview Bean Gill and Nancy Morrow, co-founders of ReYu, a neuro-recovery center based in Edmonton, Alberta. ReYu helps kids and adults with neurological conditions retrain their nervous systems through expert rehab and one-on-one therapy. Inspired by Bean's personal journey after she was paralyzed, she not only discovered the benefits of activity-based therapy but also met her co-founder, Nancy, a kinesiology student at the time. Together, they realized the immense need for a centre like this to help others beyond traditional physiotherapy and have since helped nearly 500 people, with clients travelling from places as far as Switzerland to access their services. Bean and Nancy share their journey opening a new business, the challenge of dealing with the Canadian healthcare system, and their hopes to open more centres throughout Canada in the future.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/441Learn moreLearn more about ReYuLearn more about Visa's grant programFollow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Michelle Wong, founder of Bo, a software company focused on reusable containers, is on the podcast to share just how possible it is to run a green business. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, after a decade working a 9-to-5 in sales for an industrial cleaning solutions company, Michelle realized she wasn’t fulfilled in her career. That’s when she decided to start her entrepreneurial journey, which started with a tutoring franchise but pivoted into the reusable container space. Inspired by the increase in takeout due to the pandemic, she saw how big a need there was for a sustainable solution for food packaging. Since then, Bo has scaled from restaurants to festivals and cafeterias, reducing waste and a reliance on single-use plastic. Michelle shares how her social mission has always been at the forefront of her business, what barriers she’s faced as a woman founder, and goals for the future.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/440Learn moreLearn more about BoLearn more about Visa's grant programFollow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.For this episode of the series, I’m speaking with Mallory Maynard, founder of Gibbly, a Canadian company dedicated to helping teachers fight burnout and reclaim their time so they can be more effective educators. Though not a teacher herself, Mallory’s first company, which built mobile games to inspire girls in STEM, gave her firsthand insight into the challenges teachers face every day. Due to the advent of generative AI, she saw a huge opportunity to streamline tasks by creating an AI-powered teaching assistant to help teachers create curriculum-aligned lesson plans, presentations, and quizzes in a fraction of the time. Although Gibbly has since grown to over 50,000 users, Mallory also shares the sometimes difficult realities of being an entrepreneur and shares advice to others looking to start their own company.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/437Learn moreLearn more about GibblyLearn more about Visa's grant programFollow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

10 years. If you told me back in 2015 that starting this podcast would change my life, I wouldn't have believed you. Back then, I was just looking for a different outlet other than blogging to continue learning and educating others about money. In no way could I have predicted that I'd end up interviewing hundreds of experts and authors from all over the world, leaving my 9-to-5 to start my own financial education business, and eventually releasing a bestselling book where I share some of the most vulnerable parts of my relationship with money I'd never told anyone before.What an absolutely amazing ride this has been. But it's not over yet. Although I'll be taking a break over the next few months to recharge and reflect on what I want the next 10 years of this podcast to look like, I'm not going anywhere. This podcast has given me so much, and I know it's given you so much too. We've been on this personal finance journey together after all, and there's so much more to explore. Thank you so much for all of your support this past decade. I can't wait to see what exciting things are ahead.To buy a copy of my book, visit jessicamoorhouse.com/bookFollow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Awesome episode!
The phrase isn't incorrect just because Jessica uses it differently than 99% of the population. People save for retirement in that they set aside a portion of their income for retirement. Some folks then INVEST THEIR SAVINGS. Others don't. One will not know the answer without continuing the conversation. I've tried to like this podcast, I really have. There's been some fantastic guests and topics. But I, like, find it so hard to, like, listen to how Jessica talks sometimes? Um, sometimes she is, like, "oh my god, ha ha ha!" and I'm like, "she sounds like an airhead." I just can't do it anymore and this episode was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. If you can get past the tone & inflection have a listen. Meanwhile I'll be listening to something else while I save for retirement.
The points on breathing before making decisions us excellent advice
