Summary: Well, Thanksgiving is officially over and the Christmas season is here! But as my wise friend, Andra Pinkston, points out on today's episode at The Messy Table: "We spend the next month overspending, overeating, and overcommitting ourselves—then we expect to fix it all in January."<br> But, instead, what if we put ourselves on the offensive vs. the defensive? What if we prepare our hearts + minds to create life-giving boundaries, pursue financial freedom, and still cultivate a meaningful Christmas without breaking the bank?<br> As Andra said: "Jesus' sacrifice was too great for us to live an enslaved life." <br> Andra is a pastor's wife, boy-mama of three, work-from-home CPA, and a homeschooling mastermind. She and her husband, Greg, have weathered the narrow path to becoming debt-free, and she's generously sharing some of her learned insight with us today. Y'all, I love this chat and I love, love, love her. So pop in those earbuds, grab your peppermint mocha, and join us at The Messy Table!<br> <br> [FOR FULL CONVERSATION NOTES + RESOURCES, VISIT WWW.JENNJEWELL.COM/EPISODE-44-ANDRA-PINKSTON]
