Finding financial certainty in uncertain times
|
Hello Reader, After taking a break from recording to review where I want to take this podcast, I’m back with a new episode focused on a topic I keep coming back to that's close to my heart - financial resilience. The personal finance space talks a lot about budgeting, saving, and investing, but I don’t see enough emphasis on the internal resilience that helps you stay steady when things change. With so much uncertainty right now—rising oil and petrol prices here in Singapore, and worries around jobs and business prospects—I recorded this episode to help you find more financial certainty in uncertain times. If you’re new here, I’m Sharon, and I help women who provide financially for their families stay calm so they can make clear decisions when money shifts through life-changing events like layoffs, redundancy, unexpected bills, or debt, to name but a few. In this episode, I also share my own story of starting a café with my husband that didn’t work out, the six-figure debt that followed, and how I became our family’s primary provider. After nearly three decades in HR hiring and firing, I also talk about what it really means when someone is let go and how to land on your feet. I’d love for you to listen and let me know what you think.
Have a great week. Sharon |

Reader, 2025 is over. Revenue targets. Client milestones. Growth numbers. Missed them all. Yes, that's me. For a while, I avoided looking at the data because I didn't want to face the disappointment. But then, I realized that the gap between where I am and where I wanted to be isn't failure. It's feedback. In my latest podcast episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what 2025 actually looked like: 5 Unglamorous Lessons from Building a Business While Working Full-Time: 1. It takes WAY longer...
Reader, It's December 31st, and I just reviewed my 2025. Honestly? I didn't hit most of my goals: Revenue target? Nope. Client goals? Fell short. Growth I wanted? Not there yet. And for a moment, I felt disappointed. Like I'd failed somehow. But then, while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop this week, I had a realization: If I were already the sort of person who gets those results, I'd already have them. So the question isn't 'Why did I fail?' The question is: "Who do I need to become?"...
Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock. My first instinct was to call the locksmith. But something I read recently stopped me. If you're on Justin Welsh's Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, you might have seen his recent story about replacing a special lightbulb in his water filtration system. At first glance, it's just a home maintenance story. But the real lesson...
