About this episode

Rebecca Robertson discusses practical steps to reset your financial situation at 35, focusing on knowing your numbers and overcoming financial guilt.

If you had to start again financially at 35, with everything you know now, what would you actually do? In this solo episode of Accelerating Your Wealth, Rebecca Robertson turns that question into a calm, practical reset that works at any age. This is about action, not guilt. Rebecca walks through the 'shoulda woulda coulda' trap so many of us carry, then lays out the real first step most people skip: knowing your numbers, and builds up from there to foundations, investing and the mindset that keeps it all going. We explore: · Why financial guilt holds us back, and how to set it down · The first step almost everyone skips: actually knowing your income and outgoings · Why you should never put your bank statements into ChatGPT or any AI · How even 100 pounds a month, left alone, can change your future · Progress, not perfection, as the mindset that makes it stick Timestamps: 00:00 What would I do if I had to start again at 35? 01:32 Letting go of financial guilt 03:52 Step one: know your numbers 05:24 Core outgoings versus the fun stuff 08:28 Why you should never put your bank statements into AI 11:38 Building your emergency fund and foundations 13:56 Why even £100 a month matters…
