Whether it's motherhood, burnout, a career change, or simply years of putting everyone else's needs before your own, major life transitions can leave us feeling disconnected from who we are. And sometimes, without even realizing it, we turn to spending as a way to reconnect with ourselves.

In this episode, I'm exploring the emotional connection between spending and identity, why shopping can feel so hopeful during difficult seasons, and how marketing often capitalizes on our desire for transformation. I also talk about the grief that can come with outgrowing old versions of ourselves and why trying to "buy our way back" rarely creates lasting fulfillment.

Most importantly, we'll discuss how to navigate identity shifts with more awareness and self-compassion—and why the answer may not be finding the person you used to be, but getting curious about who you're becoming.

May can feel like a nonstop cycle of graduations, weddings, school events, birthday parties, fundraisers, travel, gifts, and social obligations — and while these moments are often joyful, they can also leave us feeling financially stretched, emotionally overwhelmed, and quietly resentful.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • The hidden emotional and financial pressure of “event season”
  • The difference between joyful spending and resentment spending
  • Why so many women struggle with boundaries around money, time, and obligations
  • How people-pleasing and guilt influence our spending decisions
  • The connection between overcommitting and nervous system burnout
  • Why saying no doesn’t make you selfish or uncaring
  • Learning to honor your financial, emotional, and energetic capacity without guilt

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by invitations, pressured to participate in everything, or resentful after spending money you didn’t really want to spend — you are not alone!

Beyond paying bills or managing accounts, there’s a deeper layer of responsibility: the constant thinking, planning, worrying, and anticipating around money. And in many households, that emotional and mental load quietly falls on moms—often without being seen or acknowledged.

I share my own experience with this, and how it can show up as pressure, burnout, guilt, and even resentment over time. We also talk about why this happens, how it becomes normalized, and what it looks like to start bringing awareness to it.

This is a gentle, honest conversation meant to help you feel seen—and to remind you that it doesn’t have to feel this heavy.

We talk about the idea of a “delicious life” and how small, intentional moments of self-kindness can shift how we show up day-to-day. We also explore the connection between our overall wellbeing and our relationship with money—and how feeling more aligned in our lives can lead to more confident, intentional financial decisions.

We also get into those all-too-familiar moments of waking up with a sense of dread, and how to gently move through that by creating space for joy, even in small ways.

This is an honest, feel-good conversation that will leave you thinking a little differently about what really matters.

Because I do—and that’s what inspired this episode.

Today I’m talking about financial fatigue—that low-level mental exhaustion that comes from constantly having to think about, manage, and make decisions around money. It’s not that we don’t care or don’t know what to do—it’s that we’re overloaded.

In this episode, I share:

  • What financial fatigue actually looks like in everyday life
  • Why avoiding your finances can be a normal response (not a personal failure)
  • The emotional weight behind money decisions—and why it’s not just about the numbers
  • The cycle that keeps us stuck, and how to start shifting out of it

This conversation is really about changing the way we think about being “bad with money,” and creating a relationship with our finances that feels more manageable, more sustainable, and a lot less draining.

In this episode, I talk about the psychology of tax season — why it can feel so heavy, why so many of us avoid it, and what’s really going on underneath the surface. From procrastination and fear of getting it wrong, to deeper feelings of financial shame, this time of year can quietly stir up a lot.

If you’ve been putting off your taxes or feeling overwhelmed just thinking about them, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing wrong with you.

This episode will help you understand what’s coming up, so you can move through it with more awareness, less judgment, and a little more ease.

Courtney’s work is all about helping women stop self-abandoning, regulate their nervous systems, and build lives rooted in power instead of pressure.

We talk about what it really looks like to live in alignment—and how to recognize when you’re stuck in what Courtney calls “integrity pain.” We get into the difference between the kind of stress that drains you versus the kind that actually helps you grow, the subtle hiding habits that keep us stuck, and how self-leadership and consistency shape not just our lives—but our relationship with money, too.

Building on the idea of the “upgraded self,” I share personal patterns I've noticed in her own life, from spending during moments of mental overwhelm to purchasing things that feel productive but actually delay decision-making. I also touch on the social side of spending—like over-giving or saying yes to things we don’t want—as a way to avoid discomfort in relationships.

At the core of the episode is a powerful shift: instead of focusing on discipline or restriction, I invite listeners to get curious. What if your spending isn’t random—but patterned? What if it’s helping you avoid something you already know you need to face?

This episode is a reminder that awareness—not perfection—is what creates real change. When you understand the “why” behind your spending, you give yourself the opportunity to choose differently.

We dive into one of my favorite topics—anxiety—and explore it in a way that feels both grounding and empowering.

Dr. Vora takes a holistic, mind-body approach to anxiety, focusing on getting to the root rather than just managing symptoms. As you’ll hear throughout the conversation, there’s a powerful parallel to how we experience anxiety around money—so often, it’s not just about the numbers, but what’s happening beneath the surface.

 

About Dr. Ellen Vora: Dr. Ellen Vora is a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. She is known for her integrative approach to mental health, combining conventional psychiatry with functional medicine, mindfulness, and lifestyle-based interventions.

Rather than viewing anxiety as something to suppress, her work helps people understand it as meaningful information—often pointing to imbalances in the body, mind, or environment. Her approach challenges the traditional medicalization of stress and offers a more empowering, human-centered way to think about mental health.

Inspired by a simple desire to buy a J.Crew sweater, I unpack the deeper psychology behind why certain purchases feel like they’re bringing us closer to a more confident, composed, and secure version of ourselves.

I discuss how many of us quietly try to spend our way into becoming the person we believe we’re meant to be. But often, what we’re really seeking isn’t better clothes, a nicer home, or a bigger paycheck—it’s emotional safety, self-trust, and a sense of internal stability.

This episode invites you to look beyond the aesthetic upgrades and consider the deeper shifts that actually create lasting change.

In this episode, I talk about how inherited money beliefs often live in our nervous systems, how survival strategies get passed down generationally, and why awareness isn’t the same thing as blame.

I also walk you through a few reflection exercises to help you:

  • Identify a money belief you may have inherited

  • Notice how it shows up in your day-to-day decisions

  • Separate yourself from the belief so you can consciously choose something new

And I share what rewriting my story has looked like — moving from silence to conversation, from scarcity to sufficiency, and from overwork to enoughness.

This episode is about honoring the women who shaped us — seeing their strength and humanity clearly — while giving ourselves permission to build on their foundation instead of unconsciously repeating their patterns.

That moment got me thinking about delayed gratification, impulse spending, and why it’s so hard to wait in a world built for instant rewards.

I talk about the psychology behind impulse buying, money habits, and self-control, what the marshmallow test teaches us about trust and patience, and how tools like Buy Now, Pay Later affect the way we experience spending. I also share practical tips for pausing before purchases, saving effectively, and practicing financial patience without feeling deprived.

]]> In this week’s episode, I share a relatable story about almost buying a $178 sweater — and then hitting pause. That moment got me thinking about delayed gratification, impulse spending, and why it’s so hard to wait in a world built for instant rewards.

I talk about the psychology behind impulse buying, money habits, and self-control, what the marshmallow test teaches us about trust and patience, and how tools like Buy Now, Pay Later affect the way we experience spending. I also share practical tips for pausing before purchases, saving effectively, and practicing financial patience without feeling deprived.

Whether you struggle with impulse spending, budgeting, or long-term financial goals, this episode will help you build confidence and trust in your money decisions — one small pause at a time

Bills are paid. There’s no emergency. And yet, you still feel tense, on edge, or like you can’t fully relax around money.

I talk through why this happens, how past financial stress can linger in your nervous system, and why quiet seasons can make money anxiety feel louder. We also explore the difference between financial facts and financial feelings, and why anxiety isn’t always asking for a new plan — sometimes it’s asking for safety.

This episode is for anyone who feels anxious about money even when they’re “doing everything right,” and wants reassurance without budgeting rules or financial shame.

Leslie is the creator of Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs, a powerful framework that helps explain why traditional self-care so often falls short for moms.

We talk about why so many of the struggles moms face aren’t personal failures, but the result of systemic and cultural pressures — including scarcity and money stress. Leslie shares how growing up with financial instability shaped her relationship with work and options, how financial stress shows up in the nervous system, and why understanding money as options (not just numbers) can be so empowering. We also explore why believing we deserve care is such an essential — and often missing — starting point.

I share what I’ve seen after nearly 20 years of working with people around money: most financial mistakes don’t come from waiting, they come from acting while overwhelmed or trying to feel in control.

We talk through what you don’t need to decide right now, why pausing big financial decisions is often the more responsible move, and how choosing steadiness can reduce anxiety and lead to better long-term outcomes.

This episode is for anyone feeling pressure to have everything figured out. You don’t need a perfect plan right now—you need a steady enough one.

Not just the grief of losing someone we love, but also the grief tied to paths not taken, timelines that shifted, dreams that didn’t unfold the way we expected, and the lives we thought we’d be living by now.

I share how this kind of grief can sneak into everyday money decisions, show up as tension or self-criticism, and make money feel heavier than the numbers alone can explain. I also talk through gentle ways to notice and name these feelings—without judgment or pressure to “fix” them—so money can feel a little lighter and more honest.

If you’ve ever felt a quiet ache around money and couldn’t quite put your finger on it, this episode is for you.

And it doesn’t mean you’re irresponsible or bad with money. It means you’re human.

In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what money avoidance actually looks like, why it feels comforting in the moment, and the quiet ways it can end up costing us more over time — emotionally, relationally, and financially.

We’ll explore the shame, overwhelm, and fear that often sit underneath avoidance, and I’ll share gentle, realistic ways to start reconnecting with your money without pressure or judgment.

If you’ve ever felt stressed just thinking about checking your accounts, avoided money conversations, or told yourself you’d “deal with it later,” this episode is for you.

We’ll talk about how this “good girl” part learned to keep us safe, how she shows up in our money decisions, and why trying to be perfect with money often backfires. Most importantly, we’ll explore what it might look like to move through January with a little more honesty and kindness toward ourselves — instead of more rules and self-criticism.

We explore how the way we think about winter can completely shift how it feels in our day-to-day lives, especially when we’re tired, overwhelmed, and juggling a lot.

Kari and I dive into the power of mindsets, how our beliefs about winter shape our mood and energy, and how we can start to work with the season instead of fighting against it. We talk about practicing rest without guilt, finding small opportunities in slower seasons, and applying this same mindset to other challenging chapters in life, not just the cold, dark months. If you’re feeling like you’re just counting down the days until spring, this conversation is a gentle invitation to see winter—and yourself—a little differently.

I explore how this in-between mirrors our financial journeys, where growth is rarely linear and the quiet, uncertain seasons often hold the most potential for clarity, healing, and new stories around money.

In today's episode, I share why scarcity shows up more strongly this time of year, how it subtly influences our decisions, and why judging ourselves only makes it heavier.

We’ll explore:

  • Why the holidays can amplify feelings of lack

  • The subtle ways scarcity shows up in our thoughts and choices

  • How to lean into curiosity and self-compassion instead of criticism

  • Practical ways to notice misalignment and make grounded choices

Women are conditioned to give to everyone around us — our families, coworkers, communities — while giving almost nothing to ourselves.

I dig into why self-kindness and self-investment can feel so uncomfortable, why we default to burnout and “superhero mode” every December, and how the small, quick fixes we reach for aren’t actually meeting our real needs.

Instead, we need to reframe the idea of “gifting” ourselves through meaningful support — honesty, boundaries, rest, and choosing what genuinely helps us long-term.

I talk about why we hide our financial stress, how holiday “performing” shows up in sneaky ways, and what this secrecy does to our emotional well-being.

I also share the small, grounded steps I use to practice more honesty with myself and others, why vulnerability doesn’t mean oversharing, and how naming what’s true can be the first real relief we feel in a long time.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling with money during the holidays, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone — and you don’t have to carry it all in silence.

Why do old family roles come back so quickly? Why do questions about work, success, or “how we’re doing” feel so charged? And how can we stay grounded when other people’s money beliefs collide with our own?

In this episode, we explore: • Why family triggers around money show up • How to recognize the old stories you slip into • Ways to stay centered during tough conversations • What it looks like to rewrite those patterns as an adult

This episode is an invitation to notice — without judgment — what comes up for you during the holidays, and to honor the healing you’re already doing. Awareness is what breaks generational cycles, and it’s what allows you to show up with more clarity, calm, and self-trust.

We dive deep into what it really means to slow down in a world that’s constantly telling us to speed up — and how learning to pause, feel, and breathe can change everything from our mindset to our relationships.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why it feels so hard to slow down — and how we can start building the tools to do it with intention

  • What it actually looks like to regulate our nervous system in real life (and how to model that for our kids)

  • The power of our mindset — and how noticing our thoughts can change everything

  • How breathwork can help us come back to our bodies and our truth

I talk about:

  • Why overthinking, planning, and cultural noise can hijack your peace long before you make a purchase.

  • How emotional triggers—like wanting to be perceived as thoughtful or generous—often drive overspending, and why true generosity comes from presence, not presents.

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Mary Poffenroth — fear researcher, author, and science communicator — to explore how fear shapes the way we think, make decisions, and relate to money.

Mary shares such powerful, practical wisdom about recognizing our fear responses, understanding the cultural messages we’ve learned about fear, and using fear as information instead of letting it quietly run the show.

 

More About Mary: 

Dr. Mary Poffenroth is a fear and courage researcher, author, and educator who’s spent her career helping people understand what fear really is — and how to move through it with more confidence and compassion.

She started her career at NASA, supporting payload experiments for the Space Shuttle Columbia mission, before diving deep into the psychology of fear. She now teaches at San José State University and has spent nearly two decades helping thousands of students and professionals turn fear into fuel.

Mary holds a Ph.D. in psychology (plus three master’s degrees — in biology, psychology, and science communication!) and has spoken at TEDx London, Harvard, and SXSW.

Her new book, Brave New You: Strategies, Tools, and Neurohacks to Live More Courageously Every Day, offers practical, science-backed ways to work with fear instead of against it

And since this happens to be episode 250 (which blows my mind!), it feels like the perfect time to talk about reclaiming our wallets and our worth from the digital noise.

We’re unpacking the sneaky ways the algorithm plays into comparison, FOMO, and scarcity — and how those invisible nudges can distort our sense of “enough.” I’ll walk you through the psychology behind it, including how our brains get hooked, and share some real-life ways to take your power back.

From curating your feed with intention to setting digital boundaries that protect your mental and financial energy, this conversation is all about awareness and agency — so you can spend, scroll, and live from a place that actually feels good.

If you’ve ever felt like what you see online is shaping your money mindset, this one’s for you. Let’s unplug from the algorithm and come back to what’s real — your values, your truth, and your peace.

Come to my holiday planning workshop this week!

This Thursday, 10/23, I'll be joining a circle of incredible women, all about helping each other feel more at ease and in control. We’ll talk about simple, practical ways to shift your money mindset, plan for holiday spending without guilt, and organize your finances so you head into the new year feeling lighter. You’ll get honest support, real steps you can use, and even a chance to work side-by-side as you put your plans into action.

Summer’s not over, but it’s fading. The structure of fall is coming, but it’s not here yet. And in this weird in-between space, our energy, emotions, and money habits can get a little wonky.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why this time of year feels so emotionally heavy — and how that heaviness shows up in our spending. Whether you’re cramming in last-minute summer fun, stocking up for a super-organized fall, or just avoiding your bank account entirely, there’s often more going on beneath the surface than we realize.

Topics I talk about:

  • Why “unplugging” is much harder than it seems, especially for parents and professionals juggling work and family

  • The effects of digital addiction on our nervous systems, mental health, finances, and relationships

  • How social media and online marketing create FOMO, encourage impulsive spending, and undermine willpower

  • The blurred lines between “on” and “off” in our work-from-home world—and why we rarely feel fully at rest

  • How loss aversion makes spending feel like failure, even when it’s planned

  • The double-edged sword of being “too prepared”

  • How to shift from scarcity to real resilience

Cassie’s research examines such questions as how focusing on time (rather than money) increases happiness, how the meaning of happiness changes over the course of one’s lifetime, and how much happiness people enjoy from extraordinary versus ordinary experiences. Across these inquiries, her findings highlight the joy that stems from interpersonal connection and paying attention to the present moment.

]]> This week, I'm sharing my conversation with Danielle Cohen.

Danielle is a visibility coach, professional photographer, business mentor, and educator with a unique talent for helping others step into and offer their greatest work by becoming more visible, owning their story and their magic, and sharing it with the world.

As you'll hear in the episode, Danielle helps us to understand this very real tension between our human desire to be seen and our human aversion to exposure. And I love how she teaches women to navigate their own definition of visibility in a completely authentic way.

Germaine Foley is a Certified Life and Money Coach for women who make good money but aren't building wealth. She helps them take control of their finances and build wealth without losing the freedom to travel &/or buy nice things.

Germaine came to this work because she found herself in over $200k worth of debt and with very little savings even though she had a really good income.  She figured out how to build wealth AND enjoy life at the same time and now teaches others how to do the same.

We talk about the 'do-both' method, the power of paying attention and the skill of having money - a critical piece to creating a healthy relationship with money and building wealth.

Given that money is a leading cause of stress in a marriage, I thought it would be great to have Michelle on to talk about the complexities and challenges we all face and how we can learn to better address those issues with less resentment and less frustration.  

In our conversation, we talk about communication (what it really mean and how to do it effectively), what influences our relationships and how to have difficult conversations (about money or anything else).

Particularly during stressful and heavy times, self-compassion is such an important concept to practice - it provides relief to those of us who feel like we're going through it alone, and it also helps us feel validated and seen - which is so much of what we're really looking for.

Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself.  In June 2021, she published ​Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive​, which is a must-read for all women.

Kristen's book teaches us about the flaws in our current belief system around money, and how we can change our beliefs to unlock the abundance that is already all around us.

As a society we've been conditioned to have beliefs about money that are meant to control us and keep us feeling a sense of scarcity. And we often just accept it as fact without even questioning it. Kristen encourages us all to know that we are all already born with wealth in the form of creativity, passion, and joy.

All of the sudden she was overwhelmed, frustrated, and her Achiever heart was breaking as she felt like she was just scraping by in every area of life.

This launched her into her own self-improvement journey. She had to learn what she could let go of, where she needed her partner to step up, and she knew she needed help in ALL the places (think therapy, life and business coaching, and even hiring out the laundry!).

Amanda’s 30 years of experience in the field allows her to dive into some of the thorniest, most personal dilemmas we face, in order to bring compassionate clarity to the conversation.

 

Amanda is a clinician, coach and speaker specializing in money issues. She entered the mental health field with a unique focus: the role of money in people’s lives. Her journey into this niche began in her 20s when she noticed how deeply emotional her relationship with money was. Financial challenges she faced were more about underlying emotional wounds than mere poor financial decisions. As she delved into therapy for herself, she realized that simply understanding these emotional roots wasn’t enough to change her behavior, it required dedicated focus and effort. Determined to transform these insights into healthier financial behaviors, Amanda questioned why the intersection of finance and emotional health wasn’t more widely addressed. This sparked a passion within her to help others navigate the same path. She found herself compelled to continuously explore and work in this area, aiming to illuminate the connection between money and emotional well-being for her clients.

Amanda shares her relatable and raw life story with the world in her book which is brand spanking new, just out this month – the Chameleon Diaries: Designing a Life Worth Changing For.

 

In 2022, acknowledging career burn-out and breaking a long-lived pattern of toxic personal relationships, Amanda found herself standing on the precipice of ‘do I stay, or do I go’ and made the decision to shift her perspective and career, change her life’s intentions, and re-design her future.

Through courageous acts of self-discovery and relentlessly working to uncover her inner most truth with authentic courage, she took a leap of faith, wrote a book, and subsequently embarked on a new journey towards fulfillment, self-love and unapologetic self-acceptance.

Nathalia is just amazing. She’s so smart and real and her story is one that I feel like so many of us can relate to. And it’s inspiring – she took her life into her own hands and instead of stressing she did things about it to move herself forward. 

Nathalia Sevogiano is a money coach who specializes in teaching women, moms, and people of color how to level up their finances.

Her passion for teaching finances came out of her own financial journey. In 2018, she was in $18,312.27 of credit card debt, in addition to student loan debt and car debt. In 2017, she became the primary breadwinner in her family and she knew things had to change.    Thanks to financial literacy, she was able to become credit card debt free in 2021. She now supports her family of 3 on one income, less than 100k. She’s on track to become a millionaire before the age of 55 and being able to retire not only herself, but her husband as well. She did this by creating a financial plan and now she helps others do the same.
