  • Protein, Creatine & Powders: How to Spend Wisely on Your Health - Including Peri-Menopause

    Protein, Creatine & Powders: How to Spend Wisely on Your Health - Including Peri-Menopause
    May 10 2026

    Right now, the wellness industry is louder than ever.

    Protein powders, greens blends, creatine, collagen, gut health supplements…

    Everywhere you turn, there’s a new product promising better energy, improved health, and longevity.

    But with so many options—many of them expensive and subscription-based—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed… and even easier to overspend.

    In this episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I sit down with Susie Burrell to cut through the noise.

    Together, we explore what’s actually worth it when it comes to supplements—and what might simply be clever marketing.

    We also dive into the unique challenges women face during peri-menopause, and how to support your body during this stage without falling into the trap of buying everything.

    This episode is your reminder that building your health doesn’t have to come at the cost of your financial wellbeing.

    My favourites are the tropical creatine - which I have in the mid morning to help my focus. The whey protein powder which I have in my Greek yogurt and home made smoothies and their new hydration powder.

    Back to the podcast notes:

    🎧 What We Cover

    • Why supplements and powders have become so popular

    • Whether most people actually need supplements

    • The truth about protein powders—who they’re for and what to look for

    • Creatine explained (especially for women)

    • Greens powders, collagen and “superfood” blends—worth it or not?

    • How to spot the difference between evidence-based products and clever marketing

    • The biggest mistakes people make when spending money on their health

    • The risks of subscription-based supplement habits

    • How to approach supplements in a balanced and intentional way

    • Peri-menopause: what’s happening in the body and common nutritional challenges

    • What to prioritise if you’re on a tight budget

    • Whether it’s smarter to seek professional advice or testing before buying supplements

    💡 Key Takeaway

    You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars a month to be healthy.

    The foundations will always come first:

    real food, consistency, movement, sleep and hydration.

    Supplements can play a role—but only when they are used intentionally, not reactively.

    This is about spending wisely, not spending more.

  • The 5 Budgeting Mistakes That Are Secretly Keeping You Stuck (& how to fix this)

    The 5 Budgeting Mistakes That Are Secretly Keeping You Stuck (& how to fix this)
    May 3 2026
    This is a foundational episode. Because no matter how motivated you are… No matter how much you’ve learned about investing, passive income, or financial freedom… If your cashflow feels messy, unclear, or reactive, it will quietly hold you back. In this episode of SugarMamma’s Fireplay, I walk you through the five most common budgeting mistakes I see including the ones high-income earners are still making. These are the subtle habits that create financial stress, self-doubt, and inconsistency… even when you’re trying your best. And most importantly, I’ll show you how to fix them, so you can build a cashflow system that feels calm, clear, and sustainable. ENROL HERE IF YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU: https://courses.sugarmamma.tv/Signup 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why budgeting has nothing to do with restriction and everything to do with controlThe most common mistake people make when building a budgetWhy your recent spending history is misleadingHow to plan for irregular and annual expenses properlyThe power of sinking funds and forward planningWhy rounding your numbers creates financial stabilityThe hidden psychological trap of overly strict budgetsHow to build “sanity spending” into your plan (without guilt)Why most budgets fail and how to keep yours aliveThe simple weekly rhythm that keeps your money on track 🔍 The 5 Budgeting Mistakes 1. Building Your Budget Based on Short-Term History Looking at just 1–2 months of spending creates an incomplete and unrealistic budget. True budgeting requires at least 12 months of data to capture real-life expenses. 2. Not Planning for Future Expenses Ignoring upcoming costs (like medical, car repairs, or education) leads to financial stress. A strong system uses sinking funds to prepare in advance. 3. Budgeting to the Nearest Dollar Overly precise budgets break under pressure. Rounding up creates buffers, and buffers create financial stability. 4. Not Budgeting for Sanity Overly restrictive budgets lead to burnout and emotional spending. Intentional “joy spending” is essential for sustainability. 5. Not Reviewing Your Budget Regularly A budget is not a one-time task, it’s a living system. Regular check-ins create awareness, control, and confidence. 🧠 Canna’s Perspective Over 11 years ago, when I became a single mother, budgeting wasn’t optional, it was survival. I had to create structure, clarity, and control to keep a roof over our heads. Today, as a self-made millionaire, I still use the exact same system. Because budgeting isn’t about how much money you have. It’s about how well your money works for you. ⚖️ The Real Problem with Budgeting Most people don’t fail at budgeting because they lack discipline. They fail because: Their system is incompleteTheir expectations are unrealisticOr their budget doesn’t reflect real life When your system is aligned with reality, everything changes. You stop feeling behind. You start feeling in control. 🛠 Practical Shifts You Can Make Today Review at least 12 months of spending historyIdentify and plan for annual and irregular expensesSet up sinking funds for future costsRound up key expenses to create buffersAdd a “sanity spending” category to your budgetSchedule two weekly check-ins (quick and simple) Small changes…powerful results. 🎓 Want Help Setting This Up Properly?
