On this episode of Get Ready Before Life Happens Podcast, I spoke with Michelle Petrowski, CFP®, CDFA®, founder of Being in Abundance, about one powerful question: What if it is possible? 

We explored how shifting from a Do-Have-Be mindset to Be-Do-Have changes everything by starting with how do you want to be, then asking how do you want to do it and then asking what could I have?

💡 Key Takeaways:

🔹 Abundance is a choice that we get to make moment from moment

🔹 Align your money with your values and what truly fulfills you

🔹 Women should dream bigger, ask what’s important to you?

🔹 Step into your power - you get to choose who you want to be

🔹 We have to dream and ask what’s important to us

🔹 If you don’t have a plan, your goals are just wishes

Michelle reminds us that you are more than your paycheck — and your financial plan should reflect who you are, not just what you earn.
