Craft Your Money Story
Hosted by Nick & Hanna True · EN
Hey there! 👋 We're Nick and Hanna True, and we're here to help you craft your money story.
Since getting married in 2014, God's been teaching us how to do more with the resources He entrusts to us.
For us, that's looked like:
- giving to our church and other organizations close to our hearts
- developing the skill of values-based budgeting to enable major career and life transitions
- saving up to invest in our hobbies - like running, pottery, and buying every book that piques our interest
- taking regular planning trips to pray about our vision for the future and how that fits with the budget
The list goes on, but those are a few highlights.
We pray the conversations on this channel help you craft your money story, so that you and your family can do more of what matters most to you.
Thanks for listening!

5 Ways Our Failed Real Estate Made Us Better
Feb 26, 202500:35:00Tap to summarize#95: FREE Download - Foundational Beliefs & Priorities: https://nick.kit.com/priorities Our visioning process video: https://youtu.be/y398ZYjvNZ4?si=F41ch6zaVJv6h1lp Reagan Rose of Redeeming Productivity on How to Make a 5-Year Plan: https://youtu.be/R4RzCRXYSOE?si=i5wKhHtVdCG6ZOGp ____________________________ I'm sure we're all familiar with the Theodore Roosevelt "Man in the Arena" quote. And if you're anything like us, that quote gets you all hyped up. But it's easy to gloss over the part that says "there is no effort without error and shortcoming." Well, after our time in Knoxville, we can confidently say that we're not among the "cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat"…. because we've gotten a hefty dose of defeat! 😂 So in this episode, we're sharing five things we learned through our experience, and how we're applying those lessons to our visioning process moving forward. ____________________________ https://mappedoutmoney.com/ CYMS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CraftYourMoneyStory Twitter: https://x.com/nickdtrue

Transcribe →How To Use The News To Improve Your Finances
Oct 30, 202400:36:18Tap to summarize#92: I have lots of clients forward me videos or articles about the latest world crisis and how it's going to affect interest rates, the stock market, inflation, etc. Whether it's hurricanes, election news, federal interest rate cuts, or any other number of things - they're stressed out and worried about how it's going to impact their money. I always use the exercise in this episode to help them avoid stress spiraling and use news headlines to their financial benefit... ____________________________ https://mappedoutmoney.com/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Transcribe →Stressing Over Money Isn't Helping You (Do This Instead)
Oct 23, 202400:26:55Tap to summarize#91: The most common words we hear from new clients are "stress" and "overwhelm." There's just so much going on, money seems to be flying everywhere, and life feels out of control. Without a clear course of action, we tend to stick our heads in the sand and ignore our financial concerns... until something major happens and we're forced to deal with our situation head-on. If you're ready to face your overwhelm and start getting ahead with your money, this exercise is for you. ____________________________ https://mappedoutmoney.com/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Transcribe →Living "Within Your Means" Isn't Enough (You're Missing This)
Oct 16, 202400:39:39Tap to summarize#90: Is your budget more of tracking tool than a decision-making tool? Do you find yourself stealing from your longer-term goals to cover overspending on things like clothes, trips with friends, or kids' birthday parties? You're not alone. Establishing the budget is one thing, but sticking to it is something else entirely. There are so many "good" things to spend our money on. How do we make sure we're not overspending on the good and neglecting the great? We're here to discuss some tips that have helped us and Nick's clients use the budget as a decision-making tool to stay on track with our vision and values. Thanks for watching!
