I had a fascinating conversation with T.H. and Jessica, of ExExperts Divorce Etc., on your personal money psychology, and how this comes into play during divorce. If you are divorced, or considering it, listen in so you can move more easily through the divorce process and feel better about money. Money is a huge stressor in divorce—knowing your psychology and what truly motivates you about money is a big help. This was one of my favorite interviews. You will be fascinated!

I was honored to be interviewed by Suggest Magazine recently, on what to do about “financial trauma”. A large portion of their audience is Gen X Women and being one myself (Generation X is born between 1965 and 1980), we talked about this in particular. Gen X women are used to doing it all themselves– we were the “latch key generation” — and this is both good and bad when it comes to money…
This podcast episode is a deep dive into my story over the years as a money coach. As such, this is the most personal podcast I’ve done- my story of how I really started my business, the story of my divorce, struggles with being highly sensitive, you name it. It also covers the spirituality of money and how to step into your own earning power. 25 years of money coaching has yielded many stories, and insights! Jolie Downs really helped bring out my entire story… Her podcast is Fresh Blood—‘Killing it in the age of Ageism With Jolie Downs. Enjoy the conversation.
Dare I say there is a silver lining to divorce? Well, there is. You get a fresh start in so many ways. And your relationship with money is one of these “fresh start opportunities”.
I had a great conversation with Amber Hurdle on the Bombshell Business podcast. From her roots as a poor teenage mom to becoming a successful businesswoman, Amber has had quite the money journey. We shared stories of how we both use money creatively to create a life we love, regardless of how much we actually have. We talked about people’s money personalities and money histories, as well as the importance of using your money for what brings you joy and passion. Listen to two women having a deep conversation on what really matters in life… Enjoy
Podcast host Jen Pestikas of Brave Women at Work, interviewed me on why women feel anxious about money, and how to overcome this stress. We dove into what money fog is, and how money is really a form of life energy. And we talked about living our values in money. We even hit how to escape “golden handcuffs” — when we don’t like our jobs. This is a jammed packed interview that covers our money beliefs, and how to create a nourishing spending plan that literally helps you architect the life you truly want. (And at the beginning, I share how I got into the field of money coaching.) Enjoy it.
Listen in as David Shriner-Cahn and I talk about running your own ship. David loves working with people who have left the corporate world and gone into consulting. This is a huge shift for many professionals, who now have to market, network, and charge for their services. We had a great conversation on why using a personal spending plan is key to figuring out how much you need to charge. And we talked about how paying yourself first is the most important. We also discussed pricing—how do you avoid undercharging? And how do you set and raise your fees while building a sustainable business? And last, we discussed the role of community for business owners. I shared my experiences of how my participation in business groups over the years has been key to my business success. So, if you are self-employed, or thinking of hanging out your own shingle, listen to this episode.
The Shrimp Tank is a podcast “where street smarts and book smarts collide”. Watch a very fun conversation between me and two great guys—Dan Weedin and Craig Swanson. We analyzed their own money personalities. What is underneath Dan’s love of golf equipment, and what about Craig’s love of taking his family on vacation? We also hit how men and women are different. We talked a lot about my tango hobby and spending money on hobbies in general. Their “plead the fifth” section made me laugh hard when they asked about my own guilty pleasures of spending money on tango shoes. And what advice would I give my younger self and what about my own money mistakes?! This is as real as it gets.
When I met Rebecca, she was in her early forties.
