Podcasts about money isn

Unexpected expenses have a way of making us question ourselves. In today's episode of the pod, I'm talking about why an unexpected car repair, vet bill, or broken appliance can feel like more than just an expense—and why we're so quick to turn it into evidence that we've done something wrong. We can be responsible, plan ahead, save, and still get blindsided. That doesn't mean we failed. It means life is unpredictable. I'm also talking about the difference between responsibility and control, the emotional stories we attach to money surprises, and why financial wellness isn't just about knowing what to do with the numbers—it's also about learning how to be kind to ourselves when things don't go according to plan. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

Most expense-tracking apps and bank categorization tools make it feel like your personal finances are handled, but tracking only tells you where your money already went. A real budget decides where it's going before you spend it. In this episode, Aimee breaks down why so many budgets fail, why restriction isn't the answer, and what a personal budget is actually for. If you've ever felt financially responsible but still find yourself catching up instead of ahead, this one's for you.Cashflow Calculator: https://aimeecerka.com/cashflowFor the full transcript and all links mentioned, see the blog post: https://aimeecerka.com/267Ready To Take Action: https://aimeecerka.com/podcastlinks

How much of the way you think about money actually belongs to you? In today's episode, I talk about the money beliefs we inherit from our families - often without even realizing it. From “We don't need that” to “Must be nice,” we absorb messages about spending, saving, work, success, and what it means to be “good” with money. But just because we learned a belief growing up doesn't mean we have to carry it forever. Today I'm working through how to notice these inherited money rules, question where they came from, and decide which ones still serve us—and which ones we're ready to do differently. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

Pastor Ethan joins the conversation for a deeper dive off the back of this week's message from Proverbs 6, unpacking debt and what it actually costs us.In this episode:- Why Scripture won't let you separate spiritual maturity from financial health- How debt culture went from rare and difficult to normalized in one generation- The Proverbs 22:7 principle: "the borrower is slave to the lender"- Six reasons debt is dangerous, from bondage to compounding interest- Why the real issue under debt is often the idol of image, not just bad math- The gospel connection: your debt problem is a trust problemMoney isn't neutral.

This week on the pod, I'm joined by Monica Packer, founder of the Progress Over Perfection movement, host of the About Progress podcast, and author of Sticky Habits. Together, we explore why so many of us get stuck waiting for the "perfect" time, how to let go of all-or-nothing thinking, and what it really takes to create lasting change. In our conversation, we discuss: What it truly means to choose progress over perfection Why we're wired to seek certainty—and how it keeps us stuck The role of consistency and flexibility in building habits that last Why self-compassion is essential for meaningful growth How lasting change starts with our identity, not just our behaviors Connect with Monica: Sticky Habits: stickyhabitsbook.com About Progress podcast (wherever you listen to podcasts) Instagram: @aboutprogress ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

What if your relationship with money isn't really about money at all?In this thought-provoking conversation, Yo sits down with business and money mentor Miriam Castilla to explore the stories we inherit about money, wealth, and self-worth—and how those stories quietly shape the choices we make every day.Miriam believes that creating financial freedom requires more than practical strategies. It also means uncovering the beliefs we've carried since childhood about what we deserve, how hard we must work, and whether "enough" will ever feel like enough.Together, they explore the difference between a money mindset and a wealth mindset, why couples often approach money differently, and how small shifts in perspective can replace scarcity with empowerment.Whether you're building a business, planning for retirement, or simply rethinking your relationship with money, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder:Sometimes the most important investment we make is in changing the story we tell ourselves.In this episode, you'll discover:Why money is often a reflection of our beliefs about self-worth.The difference between having "enough" and creating lasting wealth.How childhood experiences shape our financial decisions as adults.Why money conversations with a partner don't have to become emotional battles.The importance of making financial decisions from a place of empowerment instead of scarcity.How practical financial systems and mindset work together to create freedom.Why building financial buffers creates more choices during life's unexpected transitions.The value of taking small, consistent steps instead of trying to change everything at once.Resources MentionedMiriam CastillaWebsite: https://www.miriamcastilla.comMoney Habit Archetype Quizhttps://www.miriamcastilla.com/quizThe Abundance Hub (Free Facebook Community)https://www.miriamcastilla.com/groupInstagram:@miriam_castillaBook:The 5 Minute Magnetic Money Management SystemConnect with Us: Girl, Take the Lead!Website:https://www.girltaketheleadpod.comLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/yolandacannyIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may be ready to rewrite their own money story.

What if financial planning isn't really about money? In this extra episode, financial planner Jeremy Squibb and I explore why so many successful people still don't feel they have "enough" and how our relationship with money is often a reflection of our relationship with ourselves. Together we unpack why people chase bigger pensions, bigger salaries and bigger houses, only to discover they were really searching for freedom, peace of mind and a life with fewer regrets. You'll hear Jeremy's three life-changing questions, discover why "enough" is one of the most important words in personal finance, and explore how to build a life that money supports rather than controls. Whether you're building wealth, thinking about retirement or simply wondering if there's more to life than the next promotion, this conversation will help you step back and ask a bigger question: What kind of life am I really trying to create?

Michael Gentile explains why one profound spiritual experience forced him to rethink everything he believed about success and why he now sees money as a dangerous measure of self-worth.

Last week on the pod, we talked about how life has become one giant optimization project. This week, we're taking that conversation one step further by looking at how that mindset shows up in our summers. Somewhere along the way, summer stopped feeling like a season and started feeling like something we have to maximize. Between bucket lists, vacations, camps, beach days, and the pressure to "make memories," it's easy to feel like we're trying to squeeze every last drop out of these few short months. In this episode, I explore why that pressure feels so intense, how scarcity influences both our spending and our decision-making, and why we often find ourselves buying reassurance instead of experiences. If you've ever felt guilty for having a quiet weekend, staying home on a beautiful day, or wondering if you're doing "enough" with your kids, this episode is your reminder that there isn't a right way to do summer. Maybe the best memories aren't the ones we plan. Maybe they're the ones that happen when we stop trying so hard to optimize every moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

This week, I'm talking about why every financial decision (and frankly decisions in all areas of life) now suddenly feels so complicated. What started as a simple task of booking a hotel for a family vacation turned into a perfect example of something much bigger. I found myself comparing prices, debating credit card points, reading reviews, wondering if I should wait for a better deal, and questioning whether I was making the "right" decision. Somewhere along the way, planning a vacation stopped feeling exciting and started feeling like homework. In this episode, I explore the pressure to optimize every dollar and how our culture has convinced us that every financial decision has a hidden "best" answer. We talk about the emotional cost of constantly trying to maximize rewards, save a little more, and make the perfect choice—and why sometimes protecting our time, energy, and peace of mind is just as valuable. If you've ever found yourself spending way too much time trying to save a few dollars—or feeling like every purchase is a test you have to pass—I hope this conversation reminds you that your time, attention, and peace of mind have value too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

Most people worry about running out of money in retirement. But for many careful savers, the bigger risk is the opposite: reaching the end of life having never spent what you worked so hard to build. In this episode, Joe explains why the habits that made you a great saver can quietly stop you from enjoying your retirement income, and what it actually takes to give yourself permission to spend. Joe talks about a pattern he sees constantly with clients: disciplined savers who reach retirement financially secure, but who can't switch off the saving instinct that got them there. He walks through why "you'll be okay" isn't enough reassurance for a careful saver, what a real retirement plan needs to show to actually change behaviour, and how seeing a stress-tested plan is different from just being told everything will work out. This one is for anyone who has done the saving well but is struggling to enjoy the results. In this episode: Why running out of money is often not the biggest risk for disciplined savers, and underspending can be just as costly How decades of saving habits can persist into retirement even after they've stopped being useful Why vague reassurance from an advisor rarely changes a saver's behaviour, and what actually does What a real retirement plan should show you, including how it holds up to a market drop, higher inflation, or a long-term care need Why seeing a plan and stress-testing it is the first step, but genuinely owning it is what allows you to spend with confidence About the show: Your Retirement Planning Simplified is a weekly Canadian retirement planning podcast hosted by Joe Curry, CFP, CEPA, of Matthews and Associates, an independent wealth management firm.

We often talk about building wealth through business, real estate, income, and investments. But in this episode, we challenge ourselves to look at the asset that makes all of that possible: our health.We dig into the connection between physical health, mental health, stress, discipline, decision-making, and long-term wealth creation. From gym routines and bloodwork to AI health tracking, executive physicals, depression, financial stress, and the realities facing Black communities, this conversation gets honest about what happens when we ignore our bodies and minds while chasing success.We also share personal stories about stress, poor decisions, burnout, and the cost of putting everyone else first. The reminder is simple but urgent: we cannot build, lead, earn, serve, or leave a legacy if we are running on empty.Health is not separate from wealth. Health is wealth.We Talk About:[00:00] Health Is the First Asset[03:07] The Body Gets Ignored[07:26] Money Isn't the Whole Portfolio[08:29] Stress Is the Silent Tax[14:35] Habits With Real ROI[20:02] Discipline Shows Up Everywhere[30:51] Put the Oxygen Mask on FirstResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more at LifeForceBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

This week on the show, I'm joined by financial wellness coach, author, entrepreneur, and Stanford-trained sociologist Tari K. Vickery for a conversation about something I believe is at the heart of financial well-being: the emotional side of money. So often we focus on budgets, investing, and financial strategies, but we rarely stop to ask why we make the financial decisions we do. Tari and I explore how our family experiences, childhood messages, and inherited beliefs shape our relationship with money—and why understanding those stories is the first step toward creating a healthier one.

This week, I'm talking about something that happened to me recently that I think many of us can relate to: consuming financial advice and somehow ending up feeling worse instead of better. After a late-night social media scroll left me feeling behind in about twelve different areas of my life, I started thinking about how much financial advice we're exposed to every day—and how overwhelming it can be. Between social media, podcasts, books, and experts all telling us the "right" way to manage money, it's easy to end up carrying around a long list of financial shoulds that feel more like pressure than support. In this episode, I discuss: • Why too much financial content can create overwhelm instead of clarity • How social media fuels comparison and feelings of being "behind" • The danger of applying someone else's financial advice to a completely different situation • Why context, life stage, and capacity matter when making financial decisions • A simple question to ask yourself before taking on any new financial advice If you've ever felt overwhelmed by money, this episode is a reminder that you don't need to do everything at once—and that just because something is good advice doesn't mean it's the right advice for you right now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

If you've ever thought, “I know what I should be doing with my money, I just can't get myself to do it consistently,” this episode is for you.Because the truth is, most women are not struggling financially because they don't have access to enough information.There are podcasts, books, YouTube channels, spreadsheets, social media posts, and experts everywhere telling you how to save money, pay off debt, stop overspending, invest, budget, and build wealth.So if information alone was enough, a lot more women would be where they want to be financially.In this episode, we're talking about the gap between knowing what to do with money and actually doing it consistently.We'll get into:Why more financial information may not be the missing piece.The difference between the outcome you want and the behaviors that create it.Why consuming money content can feel productive without actually changing your financial life.The reason paying off debt, saving money, or investing more requires more than knowing what to do.What may need to shift if you want your financial life to actually look different.If you've ever listened to the podcast, read the books, saved the posts, downloaded the spreadsheet, and still wondered why your money hasn't changed the way you want it to, this episode will help you see what may actually be missing.Because knowing matters.But knowing is only the beginning.Ready for support?If you're tired of feeling like you should be further along financially by now and you're ready to get to the root of what's keeping you stuck, I invite you to CLICK HERE to book a 1:1 Financial Clarity Consultation.This is for women who make good money but still struggle with overspending, debt, saving, or building wealth consistently.Together, we'll look at where you are, where you want to be, what's actually standing in the way, and whether money coaching would help you overcome your biggest financial challenges and reach your goals faster.Click Here to Schedule yours today

This week, I'm chatting with Jenn Klein—author, podcast host, and philanthropic advisor—for a thoughtful conversation about generosity, giving, and what it really means to be a philanthropist. Many of us think philanthropy is something reserved for the ultra-wealthy, but Jenn challenges that belief. She shares how generosity is not defined by the size of a donation, but by the ways we choose to align our time, energy, resources, and values with the causes and communities we care about most. We explore how our personal values shape our giving, the mindset shifts that can make generosity feel more accessible, and why philanthropy can be an everyday practice rather than a financial milestone. Whether you're looking for ways to make a greater impact in your community or simply want to rethink your relationship with giving, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and empowered.

Many will perish for their love of money! The love of money has destroyed the world! People have done anything and are doing anything for money. Enough is not enough for most people and because of it their love for money has lead many into the gates of darkness! "Gaining the world only to lose thier souls." If money is everything to you, it's not the problem; your unhealed heart and mind, and wounded soul is the problem! I always say lust is like a bottomless pit that can never be filled. Loving money drains you mentally, emotionally, and physically leaving you as a cold and heartless empty shell.

Have you ever felt like somewhere along the way, you stopped feeling like yourself? 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Adonis Lockett. Titles: Private Capital Expert, Real Estate Investor, EducatorBackground: Former engineer for NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, CaterpillarHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations Masterclass Adonis Lockett details his transition from aerospace engineering into real estate and private capital, explaining how he built wealth not just by flipping houses—but by operating on “the money side of real estate.” The interview demystifies private lending, access to capital, and how everyday individuals can participate in wealth-building without owning property themselves. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Expose a lesser-known path to real estate wealth—private money and capital brokering. Challenge myths about cash buyers, flipping profits, and bank lending. Educate listeners on leverage and capital access, especially those rejected by traditional banks. Provide a practical alternative income stream that can be part-time or full-time. Introduce Adonis’s “Smart Money Blueprint” as an educational pathway into private capital. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Engineering Was a Backup—Entrepreneurship Was the Goal Adonis earned a degree in Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, never intending to stay long-term in corporate. His engineering career provided income stability while he explored entrepreneurship. He viewed employment as predictable—but limiting. Takeaway: A high-paying job can fund your exit, not define your destiny. 2. The Leap Into Real Estate—and the Reality Behind It His first deal closed in 62 days, earning more than his annual engineering salary. He quit corporate at age 23, but what followed were four to five years of financial struggle. He survived by borrowing money monthly while peers thrived in corporate roles. Key insight: Early wins can be misleading—longevity requires business mastery, not just intelligence. 3. Ego vs. Education Adonis admits his biggest mistake was underestimating the need to learn business. He relied on intelligence and people skills instead of mentorship and systems. Perseverance saved him—but mentorship could have shortened the learning curve. Takeaway: Hustle without instruction costs time and money. 4. “The Money Isn’t in Real Estate—The Money Is in the Money” This is the core philosophy of the interview. Most “cash buyers” are not using their own cash. Over 70% of cash purchases are funded by private lenders, not banks. Private lenders deploy capital faster, with fewer requirements, and higher flexibility. Key idea: Control the capital, and you control the transaction. 5. Understanding the Private Lending Model Adonis explains how people make money without buying houses: He acts as a capital broker, connecting investors to private lenders. He earns 1–2% fees on loan amounts—often tens of thousands per deal. He carries no risk, no liability, and no capital exposure in many cases. Example:A $600,000 investment loan × 2% = $12,000 fee for facilitating the introduction. 6. Why Private Money Beats Banks Banks require: Credit checks Tax returns Debt-to-income ratios Long approval timelines Private lenders often: Skip credit checks Ignore DTI Deploy funds in 3–5 days Focus solely on deal viability Takeaway: A bank’s “no” is often exactly why private lenders say “yes.” 7. The Smart Money Blueprint Adonis created the Smart Money Blueprint to teach this system: Focuses on the money side of real estate Self-paced education (10+ hours) Hands-on deal execution Live support until students close 10 deals Designed to eliminate costly trial-and-error Core promise: Learn to be “the bank” without needing money. 8. Flipping Isn’t What It Looks Like on TV Adonis breaks down common investor mistakes: Gross profit ≠ net profit Fees, holding costs, and market shifts erase margins Most “$100K flips” net closer to $30K–$40K Lesson: Education protects profits. 9. Relationships Create Wealth—Not Transactions Early in his career, Adonis underestimated relationships. His business scaled once he aligned with high-volume investors and repeat partners. Capital flows through trust networks, not ads. Takeaway: Relationships are currency. 10. Flexible Path to Income The private money model can be: Part-time: 2–4 hours per week Full-time: Income replacement or exponential growth Key point: This is about leverage, not labor. Notable Quotes “The money isn’t in real estate—the money is in the money.” “Most cash buyers aren’t cash buyers at all.” “I was flat broke for years after quitting corporate—people don’t talk about that part.” “A bank’s no is often the reason a private lender says yes.” “Perseverance kept me alive—but mentorship would have saved me years.” “You don’t need money to be the bank—you need knowledge.” Overall Impact This interview reframes real estate success away from property ownership and toward capital intelligence. Adonis Lockett offers listeners a nontraditional, scalable, and low-risk path to wealth—particularly powerful for: Professionals stuck in high-paying jobs Entrepreneurs denied bank loans Real estate investors seeking leverage Individuals looking for alternative income streams Final message: If you understand money, you don’t need to chase property—property comes to you. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the pod I'm talking about the financial and emotional cost of constantly saying yes during the chaos of event season. 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!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

A real client conversation turns into a real Gospel question: if a Christian builds something that genuinely helps people—and it becomes financially successful—how do you reconcile that with Jesus' warning that it's hard for the rich to enter the Kingdom? Joe Rockey brings the tension to Father Boniface Hicks and pressure-tests the advice he gave: Jesus didn't condemn “business” when He flipped the tables; the deeper issue was blocking outsiders from worship. And the parable of the talents points to growth and stewardship—God needs people who can carry “five talents” without losing their souls.Father affirms the direction, but sharpens the edge: Scripture's warnings about wealth aren't about cash being evil—they're about what wealth tempts us to believe. Money, honor, power, and pleasure can become idols because they create the illusion that I can provide for myself, so I don't need God. That's the rub: when things break, do I fall back on the Lord—or do I buy my way out, control my way out, reputation-manage my way out? Poverty can be “blessed” because it forces dependence: The Lord is my shepherd—not the bank account.And the Gospel is not simplistic. Jesus Himself relied on benefactors: wealthy women supported His ministry; He had the Upper Room; He rode a colt; He was buried in a new tomb; He was anointed with costly nard. The point is order: have resources, put them at His feet, and use them to build up the Church and love in the world—without claiming they're “mine.” Father shares an example of a wealthy man who sees money as God's to steward, discerns carefully how to spend and give, and feels the weight of accountability.Joe closes with a practical business litmus test: is the business making clients' lives better—and treating employees in a way that makes their lives better? If yes, the work can be noble. If no, the conscience conflict is a signal.Key IdeasWealth isn't automatically evil; the danger is idolatry: money as a substitute shepherd.The parable of the talents calls for stewardship and growth—not fear-driven hiding.“Blessed are the poor” can mean: fewer fallbacks force deeper trust in God.Those with more have more accountability; gifts aren't “mine”—they can vanish tomorrow.Gospel balance: Jesus accepted costly gifts and benefactors; the call is to order wealth under love and mission.Practical test: does the business improve clients' lives and treat employees with dignity?Scripture Mentioned (no links)Parable of the talentsRich young man“Blessed are the poor”“What do you have that you have not received?” (St. Paul)Acts of the Apostles community sharing (“placed at the apostles' feet”)Links & References (official/source only)None explicitly referenced with clear official/source URLs in this transcript.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about something that doesn't get discussed nearly enough—the invisible financial load that so many moms carry every single day. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

In this episode, I'm joined by Kim O'Hara, coach and host of This Delicious Life, for a really grounding conversation about what it means to build a life that actually feels good—not just one that looks good on paper. 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.   Connect with Kim: Website: kimohara.com Podcast: This Delicious Life Substack: I Give You Permission ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

B”H Claim 25% in the course Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore at yaeltrusch.com/bhforbitcoin with code jewishmoneymatters. We spend so much time learning how to earn money, how to invest it, how to grow our wealth. But how often do we actually stop and ask: Is my money really mine? And I don't mean that in a philosophical or spiritual sense. I mean it in a very real, practical way. Because when you start looking at government policies, inflation, and at what's happened throughout history—especially Jewish history—it kind of forces you to think about money a little differently. That's what this conversation is really about. Yes, we're talking about Bitcoin—but not in the way you might be used to hearing about it. This is not a hype conversation. It's not about jumping on a trend or getting rich quick. We're talking about something much deeper: money, ownership, and what we can learn from both financial systems and Jewish history about protecting what we have. All with Josh Varon, the founder of BH for Bitcoin—an educational platform where he teaches Bitcoin through both a practical and a Jewish lens. In this episode, Josh breaks down what Bitcoin is in a way that actually makes sense, why he believes the current monetary system is fundamentally flawed, and how thinking about money through the lens of Jewish history can completely shift the way we approach saving and financial security. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or somewhere in between, this episode is really about understanding—not convincing. And if you want to go deeper, Josh has a great course called Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore.

Do you ever feel like you're just… tired of thinking about money? 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

Why does it feel like we're always trying to keep up? In this episode, I sit down with Ruchika Malhotra, author of Uncompete, to talk about how competition shows up for women—and how it can quietly create a sense of scarcity, impact our confidence, and shape the way we think about success and money. We also explore what shifts when we move toward a more collaborative mindset, and how that can change the way we show up in our work and lives. In this episode, we cover: Competition, comparison, and scarcity The link between self-worth and success How this impacts money decisions Moving from competition to collaboration Connect with Ruchika: Book: Uncompete – Rejecting Competition to Unlock Success Website: https://uncompetebook.com LinkedIn: Search “Ruchika Malhotra” for her latest work and newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

Tax season isn't just about forms, deadlines, and numbers — it brings up a lot more than we expect. 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

This week, I'm talking with Courtney Townley, host of the Grace & Grit podcast and a leading voice in helping women navigate health, hormones, and reinvention with intention. 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.   Connect with Courtney: Book: The Consistency Code (available at theconsistencycode.com and major online retailers) Website: graceandgrit.com Podcast: Grace & Grit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn't Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Adonis Lockett. Titles: Private Capital Expert, Real Estate Investor, EducatorBackground: Former engineer for NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, CaterpillarHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations Masterclass Adonis Lockett details his transition from aerospace engineering into real estate and private capital, explaining how he built wealth not just by flipping houses—but by operating on “the money side of real estate.” The interview demystifies private lending, access to capital, and how everyday individuals can participate in wealth-building without owning property themselves. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Expose a lesser-known path to real estate wealth—private money and capital brokering. Challenge myths about cash buyers, flipping profits, and bank lending. Educate listeners on leverage and capital access, especially those rejected by traditional banks. Provide a practical alternative income stream that can be part-time or full-time. Introduce Adonis’s “Smart Money Blueprint” as an educational pathway into private capital. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Engineering Was a Backup—Entrepreneurship Was the Goal Adonis earned a degree in Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, never intending to stay long-term in corporate. His engineering career provided income stability while he explored entrepreneurship. He viewed employment as predictable—but limiting. Takeaway: A high-paying job can fund your exit, not define your destiny. 2. The Leap Into Real Estate—and the Reality Behind It His first deal closed in 62 days, earning more than his annual engineering salary. He quit corporate at age 23, but what followed were four to five years of financial struggle. He survived by borrowing money monthly while peers thrived in corporate roles. Key insight: Early wins can be misleading—longevity requires business mastery, not just intelligence. 3. Ego vs. Education Adonis admits his biggest mistake was underestimating the need to learn business. He relied on intelligence and people skills instead of mentorship and systems. Perseverance saved him—but mentorship could have shortened the learning curve. Takeaway: Hustle without instruction costs time and money. 4. “The Money Isn’t in Real Estate—The Money Is in the Money” This is the core philosophy of the interview. Most “cash buyers” are not using their own cash. Over 70% of cash purchases are funded by private lenders, not banks. Private lenders deploy capital faster, with fewer requirements, and higher flexibility. Key idea: Control the capital, and you control the transaction. 5. Understanding the Private Lending Model Adonis explains how people make money without buying houses: He acts as a capital broker, connecting investors to private lenders. He earns 1–2% fees on loan amounts—often tens of thousands per deal. He carries no risk, no liability, and no capital exposure in many cases. Example:A $600,000 investment loan × 2% = $12,000 fee for facilitating the introduction. 6. Why Private Money Beats Banks Banks require: Credit checks Tax returns Debt-to-income ratios Long approval timelines Private lenders often: Skip credit checks Ignore DTI Deploy funds in 3–5 days Focus solely on deal viability Takeaway: A bank’s “no” is often exactly why private lenders say “yes.” 7. The Smart Money Blueprint Adonis created the Smart Money Blueprint to teach this system: Focuses on the money side of real estate Self-paced education (10+ hours) Hands-on deal execution Live support until students close 10 deals Designed to eliminate costly trial-and-error Core promise: Learn to be “the bank” without needing money. 8. Flipping Isn’t What It Looks Like on TV Adonis breaks down common investor mistakes: Gross profit ≠ net profit Fees, holding costs, and market shifts erase margins Most “$100K flips” net closer to $30K–$40K Lesson: Education protects profits. 9. Relationships Create Wealth—Not Transactions Early in his career, Adonis underestimated relationships. His business scaled once he aligned with high-volume investors and repeat partners. Capital flows through trust networks, not ads. Takeaway: Relationships are currency. 10. Flexible Path to Income The private money model can be: Part-time: 2–4 hours per week Full-time: Income replacement or exponential growth Key point: This is about leverage, not labor. Notable Quotes “The money isn’t in real estate—the money is in the money.” “Most cash buyers aren’t cash buyers at all.” “I was flat broke for years after quitting corporate—people don’t talk about that part.” “A bank’s no is often the reason a private lender says yes.” “Perseverance kept me alive—but mentorship would have saved me years.” “You don’t need money to be the bank—you need knowledge.” Overall Impact This interview reframes real estate success away from property ownership and toward capital intelligence. Adonis Lockett offers listeners a nontraditional, scalable, and low-risk path to wealth—particularly powerful for: Professionals stuck in high-paying jobs Entrepreneurs denied bank loans Real estate investors seeking leverage Individuals looking for alternative income streams Final message: If you understand money, you don’t need to chase property—property comes to you. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And the coaches explain what you need to do to find clarity, motivation, and a tangible path toward financial freedom.Top three things you will learn:-Why earning more money often increases stress instead of creating freedom-How lifestyle creep and responsibility traps keep high earners stuck-Why shifting from accumulation to cash flow is the key to escaping burnoutDisclaimer: The opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the hosts and guests and do not constitute financial advice.

Money isn’t just math. It’s memory, identity, fear, hope, and survival. Shannah Game, certified financial planner and author of Unraveling Your Relationship with Money, shares why so many of us feel anxious, ashamed, or stuck around money... regardless of how much we make. We talk about financial trauma (the obvious kind and the subtle kind), why “being good with money” is a myth, how shame keeps us frozen, and why women in particular carry so much silent stress around finances. Shanna shares her own story of losing everything after divorce, the patterns she sees again and again in high-performing women, and simple ways to start rebuilding trust with money without perfection or punishment.
