Money Isn’t Scary - Money Mindset, Money Anxiety, Intentional Spending, Saving Money, Money Management

Even in this “season of plenty,” many of us carry a quiet sense of not enough — not enough time, energy, money, or headspace. 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn’t Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.   You can also find me here: 🎙️ Website: moneyisntscary.com 📸 Instagram: @moneyisntscary ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

In today's episode, I talk about how easy it is to become invisible during the holiday chaos. 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn’t Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.   You can also find me here: 🎙️ Website: moneyisntscary.com 📸 Instagram: @moneyisntscary ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

In this episode, I’m diving into the money secrets we all carry — especially during a season where pressure and expectations are louder than ever. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn’t Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.   You can also find me here: 🎙️ Website: moneyisntscary.com 📸 Instagram: @moneyisntscary ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

This week (just in time for Thanksgiving), I'm talking about the money stories that resurface when we’re home for the holidays. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn’t Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.   You can also find me here: 🎙️ Website: moneyisntscary.com 📸 Instagram: @moneyisntscary ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

As we head into the season of gratitude, I’m taking a different perspective — one that looks back at the challenges we once resented and the growth they brought. In this episode, I share a personal story about financial stress, burnout, and learning to trust myself when life felt uncertain. We’ll talk about how time and healing can transform resentment into wisdom — and how that same shift can change your relationship with money. Real gratitude isn’t just for the good moments — it’s also for the hard ones that shaped who you are. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn’t Scary — it helps more women find these conversations.   You can also find me here: 🎙️ Website: moneyisntscary.com 📸 Instagram: @moneyisntscary ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?
