How much is truly enough?

In this episode of Her Honest Money Talk, Hazel Secco explores the powerful concept of your enough number, the personal financial target that allows you to stop chasing someone else’s definition of success and start building financial freedom that actually fits your life.

Your enough number is not about comparison. It is about clarity, choice, and feeling grounded in what you truly want.

Hazel walks you step by step through how to calculate your enough number using simple frameworks like the rule of 25, while sharing real life insights from her work with women in leadership. You will learn why enough is never a universal number and how to separate your financial goals from social pressure, conditioning, and the constant pull to want more.

If you have ever wondered why reaching milestones does not always bring peace, this conversation will help you move from overwhelm to clarity and from comparison to confidence.
