The Financial Reset: 3 Money Moves to Start 2026 Strong

Leah Hadley hosts Intentional Money Moves Live and shares three financial reset moves to start 2026 strong, alongside updates from her free 30-day financial reset challenge (day 1: defining personal financial peace, day 2: naming money emotions like anxiety, shame, hope, and determination, day 3: identifying top money stressors). Move one is getting clear on where you stand by gathering a complete financial picture (accounts, debts, recurring expenses) and facing the numbers without judgment, illustrated with a client who avoided credit card statements and felt relief once she learned her debt was $18,000 and could make a payoff plan. Move two is aligning money with values by reviewing 2025 spending and asking whether it reflects what matters most, using examples like redirecting stress-shopping toward travel and reconsidering convenience spending like DoorDash/Instacart. Move three is choosing one financial priority for Q1 (one goal for 90 days) to avoid overwhelm and build momentum, with examples including emergency savings, paying off one card, increasing 401(k) contributions, estate planning, or saving for a trip; viewers share goals like reviewing spending daily in Monarch Money and learning to read monthly statements. Leah invites listeners to join the challenge (Facebook group community and prizes), previews next week’s topic on making value-aligned spending decisions, and directs viewers to watchherthrive.co for support.
