107 | Overcoming Shame Around Money: How to Break Free and Achieve Financial Freedom

Got a question? Send me a text.

Money shame often lurks in the shadows of entrepreneurship, especially for women. Whether it shows up as avoiding your bank accounts, undercharging, or feeling like you should be further along, money shame doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It’s just fear in your money mindset, not your true worth.

In this episode, I’ll show you that your financial numbers don’t define your value. Your worth is not based on your bank balance—it’s based on who you are. Your current finances reflect past beliefs about money, not your potential to create abundance.

You’ll learn practical steps to shift from avoidance to empowerment, starting with money dates—time to reconnect with your finances from a place of curiosity, not judgment. Even just 15 minutes can transform your relationship with money.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding money shame is the first step to shifting your financial mindset.
Your revenue doesn’t define your worth—true value comes from within.
Regular money dates help you get curious, not critical, about your finances.
Take one empowered financial decision each week to build confidence.
Practice affirming statements like “I am worthy of financial freedom.”

109 | Is Your Financial Plan Creating Financial Freedom—Or Quietly Causing Burnout?

Got a question? Send me a text.

Does your financial plan feel more stressful than supportive? Many women entrepreneurs try to follow rigid financial formulas that don’t align with their lives or businesses. Traditional plans often focus on distant futures without considering your evolving goals, wealth consciousness, or business changes.

A financial plan should be simple, clear, and flexible, evolving as you do. Build your plan around your values—not someone else’s template.

Key takeaways:

Keep your financial plan clear, simple, and personal.
Build your plan around your values, not external advice.
Balance achievement with rest and celebration.
Allow your plan to evolve as you grow and change.

Trust yourself to make decisions that support your unique goals and values.
