137. The Trap of Over-Saving and Under Living
đź‘‹ Welcome
Welcome to The Fit Financial Podcast. I’m Amanda Hanquist, and together with my husband Shawn, we help high-income earners and entrepreneurs grow and protect their wealth—while building a life they can actually live with.
In today’s episode, we’re exploring a moment we see often: your career is thriving, your assets are growing… but something feels off. You’re starting to ask, What is all of this for? That question isn’t a red flag—it’s an invitation to step into a more intentional version of wealth
