Erin Gray | Financial Coach, Former Certified Financial Planner and CFO
Ready to stop avoiding your money? Tired of feeling shame every time you check your bank account? Overwhelmed and feeling out of control with your finances? Wish you had a system to help you feel confident and in control of your money?
I am so excited you're here. This podcast is designed to help you through the process of building the confidence and knowledge to make empowered money decisions in your business and personal life.
Hi, I’m Erin—a travel enthusiast, wife, mom, former Certified Financial Planner and CFO who came to realize that money is about so much more than just numbers.
I found myself fixated on hitting a specific number in my bank account, relying on advisors to make decisions for me, and constantly feeling guilty that no matter how much money we had, it never felt like enough. I was stuck in a scarcity mindset, and I didn't know what to do.
I finally realized that to feel safe and in control of my money, I needed to build a relationship with it and learn to trust myself in the decisions I made.
I discovered a new way to approach money—one that goes beyond the numbers and transforms how I feel about it. When you change your relationship with money, everything shifts—your mindset, emotions, and how you approach budgeting. Systems to manage money can become tools of empowerment, helping you create a life you truly love. And now, I’m ready to share it with you.
If you're ready to enhance your financial literacy and well-being to experience true financial freedom, this podcast is for you.
You Ready? Let’s dive in.

#13 Financial Freedom vs. Financial Ease
Your Money, Your Rules | Financial Planning, Budgeting, Scarcity Mindset, Financial Freedom, Online Business
06/28/23 • 18 min
Got a question? Send me a text.
In this episode, I discuss the difference I believe between financial freedom vs. financial ease.
Financial freedom is defined as having enough cash, savings and investments to pay for your living expenses for the rest of your life. Even though some of us might match the definition of financial freedom, we don't feel ease with our money.
For some people, financial freedom can be laced with actions like hoarding, protecting and limiting the use of our funds because it is coming from a belief seeded in lack, fear and scarcity.
I want us to change the way we think and feel about our finances and experience financial ease. Ease in our bodies when we have, grow and generate our money.
Questions you can ask yourself:
- What are some of the beliefs that I have right now that do not create financial ease in my body?
- What are the primary feelings that I am feeling when I think about my money?
- What are some beliefs that I can adopt that will allow me to feel neutral about money?
- How do I want to feel about money?

Ep. 72 Estate Planning Tailored to Your Family's Dynamics (with special guest Wendi Lester Efflandt)

Got a question? Send me a text.
Join me as I sit down with Wendi Lester Efflandt, a seasoned estate attorney from Texas, who shares her expertise on crafting tailored estate plans that truly resonate with personal and familial goals. Wendi explains why a one-size-fits-all approach won't suffice. Together, we explore the necessity of choosing the right legal instruments—wills, trusts, powers of attorney, etc. that are best suited for individual circumstances such as family size and the ages of any children involved.
In our discussion, we delve into the subtle complexities of powers of attorney, shedding light on why the right person for medical decisions might differ from the one handling financial matters. Wendi highlights the importance of relying on local experts familiar with state-specific laws to avoid common pitfalls, such as improperly witnessed documents and errors from online legal templates. We emphasize the importance of updated documents and caution against the reliance on AI for estate planning, advocating instead for professional guidance to ensure clarity and prevent financial mishaps.
Our conversation also uncovers the often-overlooked task of organizing crucial personal information to ease the burden on loved ones. Wendi and I discuss practical steps to safeguard vital data, from creating a comprehensive "location of important documents" worksheet to simplifying financial affairs. This episode empowers you to tackle estate planning with confidence, offering insights that underscore estate planning as not just a necessity, but a thoughtful gesture for those you leave behind. Tune in for a wealth of knowledge that will equip you to navigate the estate planning process with assurance and precision.

What if overthinking is sabotaging your success more than you realize?

- Using tools to calm the nervous system
- What your fear is trying to teach you

#7 What makes you a Generator in Human Design?
Your Money, Your Rules | Financial Planning, Budgeting, Scarcity Mindset, Financial Freedom, Online Business
05/17/23 • 27 min
Got a question? Send me a text.
In this episode I discuss: What Makes You A Generator?
The short answer is: You have a defined sacral center; you have no connection between a motor and the throat. And, you are meant to RESPOND to what life brings you, not initiate.
In my life, I acted like a manifestor for about 20 years. I didn’t know any better or different. I used to think something was wrong with me because I was initiating and exerting myself to create the life I wanted but I was burnt out, frustrated and unfulfilled.
It wasn’t until I learned about Human Design that I learned I was acting the exact opposite of my design!
Human Design is a combo of the Chinese I Ching, Jewish Kabbalah, the Hindu Chakra System and Quantum Physics. I use it as a tool in my life to live a more aligned life to who I truly am, honor my gifts, my wisdom and to let go of my conditioning.
I ONLY use Human Design and any other tool for that matter to further empower me. So you’ll hear me say this all the time, take what resonates and leave the rest.
As a Generator, we have a tremendous amount of energy. We are designed to work and do things we love. When we are doing work we love, we can go for hours and hours, something comes alive within us.
So how do you know if you are doing the right kind of work and living in alignment with who you truly are?
You can ask yourself the following questions:
- “Am I excited to go to work every day?”
- “Do I have the Sunday night blues?”
- “Do I feel drained most days?”
- “Am I frustrated most of the time?”
The first step is awareness. Once you know that you've gotten off track, it's no problem. It's the first step to getting back.
