Podcasts about money stories

What if the real reason you feel stuck financially isn't your bank account — but the beliefs you've carried for years?In part one of this two-part conversation, Shelly sits down with Audrey Faust, The Manifesting CFO™, to explore how our earliest money messages shape our confidence, decisions, and sense of possibility in midlife.Together, they talk about growing up hearing phrases like “we can't afford that,” how scarcity mindsets get passed down through generations, and why mindset work often needs to come before spreadsheets and strategies.Audrey also shares her grounded, practical take on manifestation — not as magic, but as focus and alignment — and how learning to shift what we believe can open the door to more peace and confidence with money. Key Takeaways:How early money messages shape our beliefs in midlifeWhy “we can't afford that” can quietly limit what feels possibleWhat it means to be the transitional generation with moneyWhy mindset is the missing piece before financial strategyA practical, down-to-earth explanation of manifestationThis conversation was so rich that it's been split into two parts.

Why does money bring up so much fear, stress, or overwhelm, even when we're doing “all the right things”? In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I'm joined by Brigid Tebaldi, a Nervous System + Identity Coach, to explore the deeper connection between your nervous system and your money story. So often, budgeting, saving, or managing finances triggers anxiety, fear, shame, or avoidance. Instead of just addressing the behavior and trying to force better habits, Brigid invites us to slow down and get curious about what's happening beneath the surface. We talk about how your relationship with money may be rooted in early childhood experiences, learned patterns, and moments where your body learned whether money felt safe or threatening. When we begin to understand these connections, true healing  and real financial freedom becomes possible.

As we begin a new year, many of us are reflecting on what's working, what needs to shift, and what we truly want, not just in our careers or personal lives, but financially as well. But let's be honest, for many women, wealth is the last thing we feel comfortable talking about.In this episode of the VEST Her Podcast, we explore how to reset your relationship with money, redefine what wealth means on your own terms, and build a system that actually supports the life you want. Because wealth isn't just a number, it's a reflection of access, freedom, and the ability to move through the world with confidence and choice.This Episode Is for You IfYou've been taught that talking about money is impolite or selfishYou've hit career milestones, but still feel unclear about your financial pictureYou want to set wealth goals this year, but don't know where to startYou're ready to shift from short-term survival to long-term visionYou want to build wealth in a way that aligns with your values, not someone else's definition of successWhat You'll LearnWhy wealth is about more than salary, savings, or statusHow culture, family, and systems shape our beliefs about moneyA 5-step Wealth Inventory to help you get clear on your starting pointHow to set one bold financial goal and the habit that supports itWhy doing this work in community changes everythingChapters1:00 Why Women Need A Different Money Talk2:12 The Wealth Inventory Framework4:06 Turn Goals Into Systems5:27 Why Money Feels Complicated7:13 History, Exclusion, And The Wealth Gap8:40 Three Actions And The Power Of CommunityIf you enjoy the episode share it with a friend, leave us a review and don't forget to hit the subscribe button.

In this deeply personal episode, I share my full money story—from early responsibility and over-functioning, to building a successful business while quietly living in survival mode. This episode is an honest reflection on how money became tied to self-worth, control, and safety—and why earning more was never enough to help my body relax. You'll hear: How responsibility shaped my relationship with money Why success without safety creates pressure, not peace The quiet shame and tension I carried—even in good seasons of money What shifted when I stopped trying to control outcomes and learned to receive Why abundance is less about mindset and more about nervous system safety If you've ever felt capable but unsettled…successful but tense…or like no matter how much you do, it never quite feels like enough—this episode is for you.

Most financial challenges aren't math problems—they're belief problems. In my recent podcast conversation with Corey Mosley, we talked about money stories: the beliefs people absorb early in life that quietly shape how they save, invest, earn, and even value themselves. Clients don't always resist your advice because they “don't get it.”Often, they resist because the advice conflicts with a story they've carried for decades. The same is true for advisors.Your beliefs influence how you price, position your value, and show up in conversations. When you help clients (and yourself) rewrite the story beneath the numbers, everything changes—clarity, confidence, and follow-through. Listen to the conversation and explore how money stories shape financial outcomes.

In this engaging conversation, Christina and Richart Ruddie explore the journey of entrepreneurship, the importance of taking action over excessive planning, and the role of mentorship in shaping careers. Rich shares his insights on defining success, the significance of gratitude, and the attributes that contribute to success in business. They discuss the challenges and rewards of building company culture, the dynamics of remote work, and the qualities that make employees successful. The conversation concludes with Rich's thoughts on leadership and the importance of human connection in today's world.About The Guest: Richart Ruddie is the founder and CEO of Captain Compliance a data privacy and compliance software company that protects businesses large and small from privacy litigation risks while building trust with their end users.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Architects often feel torn between their creative calling and the pressure to "talk money," leaving many unsure how to price their work, defend their value, or navigate client conversations without anxiety. Money is supposed to be boring, distant, and handled by someone else, especially in architecture. In this episode, Enoch and Rion pull back the veil on the quiet myths architects inherit about fees, value, and what their work is really worth. They show how those hidden stories shape firms, projects, and even your sense of freedom as a practice owner. Starting from a shocking comment Enoch heard at architecture school, the conversation moves through history, Wall Street, and today's studio culture. You'll hear how a new way to see money can change the clients you attract, the projects you win, and the role you play at the table. The offhand remark that froze a studio room—and exposed a deep bias about architects who care about money. How one simple reframe turns money from "dirty" to a powerful technology of trust in your practice. Why a common industry tool might be training your best clients to see you as a commodity.

This episode breaks down why most New Year's resolutions fail and why real change starts with your money mindset. You'll learn how old stories about money can shape your choices, hold back your income, and create stress in your business. Many women entrepreneurs carry beliefs they never chose, and those beliefs can lead to fear, guilt, or undercharging. You'll hear simple examples of how these thoughts show up in daily money decisions and how you can start to shift them. We talk about money mindset, tax strategy, and smart strategies that help you build confidence and support long-term success. If you want to grow your business, reduce stress, and make better choices with money, this episode gives you the tools to start fresh—without another resolution. Listen now and learn how to rewrite your money story today.   Next Steps:

We're revisiting a powerful conversation on the Mailbox Money Show, hosted by Bronson Hill, in which Dr. Felecia Froe explored the connection between money, time, and personal freedom. This episode reflects on what happens when professional success no longer feels fulfilling and why many high achievers reach a point where the traditional path stops making sense. The conversation unpacks burnout, the illusion of control, and the mindset shifts required to move beyond trading time for income.   Through lessons drawn from experience, the discussion emphasizes the role of mentorship, proximity, and a clearly defined "why" in building passive income, creating optionality, and designing a life aligned with purpose.   00:00 – From Career Success to Quiet Discontent 04:31 – Rewriting the Money Story 09:01 – Failure, Loss, and the Cost of Not Knowing 13:46 – The Power of Proximity and Mentorship 18:31 – Perfectionism, Control, and the "Who Not How" Shift 22:46 – Purpose, Time Freedom, and Money With Mission

In this solo episode of Can't Be Contained, Samantha Skelly dives into money magnetism and the identity-level shifts that transform how women experience wealth, receiving, and self-worth. Recorded live at Women & Wealth, this session explores the real roots of scarcity—inherited money stories, nervous system dysregulation, and what Samantha calls "competing agreements" that quietly block expansion. Rather than pushing harder or fixing surface-level mindset issues, Samantha invites listeners to look at how safety, regulation, and language shape their relationship with money. In this episode, Samantha covers: ➤ How unconscious money stories keep women stuck in scarcity and over-efforting ➤ What "competing agreements" are and how they sabotage growth ➤ Why nervous system regulation is essential for sustainable wealth ➤ The language and identity shifts that change how money responds ➤ Practical exercises to rewrite money stories and expand the capacity to receive This episode is an invitation to release outdated money stories and step into a more regulated, aligned relationship with wealth — one rooted in clarity, safety, and self-trust.  

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life. A former professional baseball player in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, Andy leveraged discipline, unshakeable drive, and consistent daily habits to succeed at the highest level — despite being undersized for his position.

What if money isn't as "real" as we think it is? This week, Sarah talks to spiritual coach, tour leader, and money mindset mentor Halle Eavelyn about the deep, often hidden beliefs that shape women's relationships with wealth. From a life-changing awakening in Egypt to writing The Passive Income Power Plan, Halle shares how she helps women remember their power—and step fully into it. Here's something wild: women couldn't open their own bank accounts until 1974. Today, we still receive only 3% of venture capital funding. These aren't just statistics—they're symptoms of deep programming affecting how we approach money right now. Halle had a profound moment in the dining room of a Nile cruise ship during a guided meditation. She received a download that hit every cell of her body: "You have a soul and you will never die." That spiritual awakening sparked a 30-year exploration into consciousness, intuition, and how women can reclaim their birthright to wealth. If you've been wondering why you haven't been making more money, or if you've been feeling stuck around the idea that you deserve wealth - this conversation is for you. This is episode 312 of the Game On Girlfriend podcast. I'm Sarah Walton, and I help women entrepreneurs build businesses they love through authentic sales strategies and money mindset work.   What You'll Learn Halle's unshakable spiritual awakening in Egypt—and what happened at the Temple of Philae Why money is energetic (not just emotional) The "trauma inheritance" that affects women's wealth-building How women become their own gatekeepers around funding and wealth (and how to stop) Why money is just a story we tell ourselves—and how to rewrite that story What's coming economically and why women need to prepare now (financial tsunami by 2027) Simple ways to start rewriting your money story right now Practical steps to reclaim your financial power, including passive income strategies Why Sarah loved the idea of creating small wealth circles with friends How to follow your intuition breadcrumbs from awareness through action into results   Related Episodes You Might Love Ep 307: The Grace Codes: Leading with Feminine Power https://sarahwalton.com/grace-codes-feminine-leadership-women-entrepreneurs/ Ep 263: How Your Nervous System Shapes Your Money Habits https://sarahwalton.com/nervous-system-regulation/ Ep 227: How to Clear a Money Fog https://sarahwalton.com/clear-money-fog/   Connect with Halle Eavelyn https://hallewealth.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/eavelyn https://www.facebook.com/eavelyn/  https://www.instagram.com/halle.eavelyn/  https://youtube.com/@halleeavelyn    About Halle Eavelyn Featured in Time Magazine, USA Today, and Good Morning America, Halle is a Transformational Wealth Coach, speaker, and writer who helps women clear their old patterns and beliefs so they can call in the financial power that brings freedom.

Most couples think they're “broken” because they argue about money. The truth? You're probably more normal than you realize—you've just never been taught how to talk about money without going to war.In this 12 Days of Giving episode, I sit back down with financial therapist Ashley Quamme to walk through a real couple we'll call Mark and Mary—late 30s, three kids, decent income, solid marriage… until money comes up. He's the anxious saver, constantly bracing for the layoff that may never come. She's the practical spender who wants to make memories with their kids and not live like everything is on fire. The money isn't the problem. Their stories about money are. ashley-2-2025Ashley takes us into their backstory: Mark's single-mom, count-every-penny upbringing and Mary's “we're fine, we don't talk about money much” childhood. We break down how those early money memories hijack their adult arguments—why he feels panicked when they're not maxing accounts, and why she feels controlled and judged when he questions holiday spending. None of this is “just numbers.” This is nervous systems, fear, and unspoken expectations running the show.Then we get into the actual work: how Ashley helped them stop avoiding each other, set up structured money dates, and build rules of engagement so they're not trying to solve their financial life at 9:30 p.m. half-asleep and pissed off. We talk about what to do when you hit a stalemate, why “we'll talk about it later” usually means “never,” and how they finally landed on a savings target that calmed his anxiety without killing all joy for her.This is not some dramatic, on-the-brink-of-divorce situation. This is a normal couple that refused to settle for “fine” and chose to do the work before things blew up. If you and your partner are mostly good—but money convos feel tense, defensive, or like the same fight on repeat—this episode is your mirror and your playbook.

You Don't Have to Go Home for Christmas

What happens when you do everything “right”—go to college, land the six-figure job, make your family proud—and still end up buried in debt, burned out, and feeling trapped? In this episode, Jannese sits down with Rose Han, a first-gen wealth builder, YouTuber, and now author of Add A Zero. Rose opens up about her journey from over $100K in student loan debt to becoming a self-made millionaire, and the mindset shifts, financial strategies, and rebellious choices that made it possible.We talk about:The real impact of student loan debt on millennials & Gen Z's version of the American DreamWhy “employee income” is the least free kind of income (and what to focus on instead)Rose's Add A Zero framework for going from negative net worth to your first million—step by stepHow money identity, family conditioning, and cultural expectations shape our financial choicesWhy sometimes you have to ignore your parents' advice and carve your own pathThe freedom and fulfillment that come when you stop playing small and start building wealth on your own termsIf you've ever felt stuck in debt, confused about money, or pressured to follow someone else's script for success, this conversation is your permission slip to rewrite your financial story.

In this episode, Christina shows up at the end of a long day—post-walk, unfiltered, and debating whether she should even hit “upload.” But the story behind why she almost didn't post this one is worth the listen.She also pulls back the curtain on a behind-the-scenes disaster that nearly pushed her over the edge this week. Let's just say it involves a 35-minute recording, a message from her assistant, and a very real “I might cry” moment. Christina doesn't reveal every detail here… but when you hear it, you'll feel it.From there, she shares how her best podcast ideas actually come together—and why next year's episodes are about to look very different.

If you've ever pulled a price out of thin air, matched a competitor without context, or quietly dipped into your savings to sustain your business, you're not alone. Many entrepreneurs struggle not with numbers, but with the stories and habits they've learned about money. Financial behaviorist, coach, and creator of Pricing Made Human®, Jacquette M. Timmons, understands this deeply—and built her work around helping people see the emotional and behavioral patterns tied to their financial choices.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Jacquette and I unpack the real drivers behind pricing, business development, and confidence. She shares how a blunt question from her CPA—“When are you going to stop mortgaging your life?”—forced her to confront her own money patterns, even with an MBA in finance and years managing high-net-worth portfolios. We explore how upbringing, identity, and the desire to be chosen show up in how you charge, negotiate, follow up, and build a sustainable business.If you've ever hesitated to raise your rates, struggled to explain your value, or felt vulnerable during a pitch, this conversation gives you language, context, and strategy to shift how you approach money. You'll walk away with new insight into your relationship with pricing, the role your personal story plays in your financial decisions, and what it takes to protect your financial future while growing your brand.1:41 – What personal brand means to Jacquette, how she (and I) would describe her, her favorite quote, and the musical genre (and DJs) that gets her hyped4:46 – How Jacquette's childhood experiences and environments shaped and influenced her8:35 – Jacquette's surprising early career path and how curiosity about human behavior fueled her focus on money psychology15:16 - How Jacquette helps her clients navigate their relationship with money17:24 – The pivotal question that inspired Pricing Made Human® and how one moment of truth redefined Jacquette's business philosophy24:23 – Two mistakes people make when it comes to pricing or knowing their value26:53 – How business development triggers our insecurities 29:55 – The “five and five” exercise and how relationships influence money and business decisions32:26 – Examples of Jacquette's impact on clients' relationship with money in business development36:49 – The connection between confidence, money, and how you show up professionally38:48 – How Jacquette approaches business development for herself and what she wishes she'd done differently43:12 – What I learned about money and business development from working with Jacquette45:52 – How Jacquette refuses to let the world steal her joy47:19 – Jacquette's commitment to focusing on money's human side and warmth as her magical assetMentioned In Pricing Is Personal: How Your Money Story Shapes Your Personal Brand with Jacquette TimmonsJacquette TimmonsPricing Made Human®More Than Money with Jacquette TimmonsSponsor for this episodePGE Consulting Group LLC empowers individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, presence, and impact.

Money is never just about numbers; it is about identity, belonging, and whether you feel you have options. In this candid conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with financial services professional, author, and nonprofit founder Michelle Campbell to trace her journey from five evictions, four repossessions, three bankruptcies, and over half a million dollars in debt to becoming a fierce advocate for financial literacy and social change.    Together, they unpack the emotional roots of overspending, why shame and silence keep people stuck, and how working-class earners are often the most overlooked when it comes to support and education. You will hear how Michelle connected her money patterns to a childhood wound, rebuilt her financial life by facing every envelope and every number, launched her nonprofit Hashtag Stability to serve people facing homelessness and financial crisis, and now uses tax law, planning, and advocacy to help others avoid the traps she fell into.    00:00 – From Omaha To Overwhelmed 05:58 – The Personal Side Of Financial Literacy 16:12 – Belonging, Overspending, And Rewriting The Story 26:34 – Hashtag Stability And The "Hidden Demographic" 38:23 – Money, Mental Health, And Access To Knowledge 48:17 – Tax Shell, Planning, And Choosing A Different Future

In Part 2 of this intimate conversation, Shari continues her discussion with Carl Richards, the New York Times “Sketch Guy.” If Part 1 was about the behavior behind money, Part 2 is about the beliefs behind your life. Carl opens up about how his simple sketches began, how a single comment from his wife reshaped his entire career, and why permission—not math—is often the missing piece in big financial and life decisions. He shares unforgettable stories, including the woman who left her prestigious Wall Street law job to return home and help her father run the family farm—because Carl granted her the “permission” she already had inside her. Shari and Carl also dig into fear, impostor syndrome, our inherited money stories, and why most of us wait far too long to trust what we know is true about our lives. This is the kind of conversation you don't just listen to—you feel it. You'll walk away with: – Why permission is often the bridge between intention and action – The emotional patterns that keep people stuck – How fear shows up at every major life moment – The story behind Carl's famous sketches – The one money belief Carl would give his 25-year-old self – Shari's own reflections on her younger self —and what she wishes she knew Shari closes the episode by sharing how Carl's influence shaped her practice, her philosophy, and the human-centered way she guides clients inside GWA Wealth.

They explore what it means to respond to God’s call — both personally and as a faith community. Inspired by the “postscript” chapter of John’s Gospel, this conversation dives into the miraculous breakfast on the shore: a moment that combines miracle, relationship, and eucharist — reminding us that the resurrection isn’t just about following Jesus, but about how we live, belong, and serve together. Join the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego as they unpack what this story means for our stewardship journey: How do we respond to God’s invitation when we feel empty or discouraged? What does it mean to bring what we have — our time, talent, and treasure — to feed the community? How can we honor our different gifts and responses as part of one thriving body of faith? This is a story of recommissioning — a reminder that the call continues and the story is still being written. We invite you to continue to think about how we can respond to God’s call as a faith community today. Join our in-person Convergence group or our online community at patreon.com/fumcsd. Here are the discussion questions for this episode: Have you ever had to keep trying even when there were no results from your efforts? Have you ever responded “No” to God? Have you ever said “Yes,” and were unexpectedly blessed in doing so? Our Patreon community is open to all — wherever you are on your spiritual journey. It’s free to join and connect over weekly questions, with optional paid tiers for bonus content and deeper engagement.
