From money fog to tango, this is a fun podcast episode. I guested on Bernie Borges Midlife Fulfilled Podcast, that is for those over 40 who are ready to thrive. We talked about the connection between money and happiness, how to simplify your finances, and yes, tango. Part of working with money is getting clear on what is important to you and protecting it.
What makes you happy?
It can’t only be about bills! For me, it’s tango. Learning how to work with your money is key to making sure you find the fulfillment in life you deserve. So, what is YOUR tango? Enjoy this fun episode.

In this conversation, Paulette Rigo of the Better Divorce Podcast, and I delve into the intricate relationship between divorce and finances. Does financial anxiety disproportionately affect women? Yes! We talk about the emotional aspects of money management, and the importance of understanding one’s money story. I also talk about the differences in how men and women approach financial anxiety and the significance of addressing these feelings to regain control over one’s financial future. AND we explore the historical shifts in women’s financial empowerment, with stories from our own families. From me, to mom, to my grandmother. Whew! Intense! So, listen in for a fascinating discussion of women, divorce and our relationship to money. You really can have a “better divorce”.
Listen in on a great conversation I had with Susie Pettit from the 
I journeyed across the podcasting universe to the UK, where I spoke with Britain’s Jo Blackwell, a coach for women who want more from their lives after 50. Her “midlife movement” is changing minds about becoming older. (
I was honored to guest on the NewRetirement Podcast with Steve Chen. He has revolutionized retirement planning by making financial planning accessible to everyone with his affordable online tools. 
What a deep conversation this was! Jen Pestikas is a fabulous career and leadership coach who can set you on the right career path when you feel stuck. We talked about my new book, and dove into the emotional side of money—and how our childhood experiences impact us. I shared my own childhood money story, and while painful, how it inspired me to find my own career path. We ended by discussing being caught in the career “golden handcuffs”, and how we sometimes overwork because we are in a money fog. Then we dove into the concept of receptive surrender.
Gasp! What a name for a podcast! Podcast host Melissa Leon runs Two Sense Consulting, and she focuses on how “ambitious women can have it all without doing it all”. That is the focus of her “Efficiency Bitch” podcast as well. (By the way, “BITCH” stands for Bank, Inbox, Time, Connection, and Harmoney.) In this episode, we spent a focused 20 minutes on what IS the money fog? How can you tell if you are in a money fog? Why is it so emotional??? How do marketers and Madison Avenue tell you what you should do with your money? (We recorded this episode right before the Holidays and talked about the crazy advertising that tells us to spend, spend, spend!) And last, how does the money fog keep us from living our dreams? Melissa is a great host, and you will love this fast twenty minutes.
This conversation with Andrea Heuston, from 
Wendy Valentine of the Midlife Makeover Show interviewed me on her fabulous podcast. She titled the episode “Clearing the Money Fog: Empowering your finances.” I love that. I would also call this episode, “The psychology of money”. We hit everything from where your beliefs about money come from (childhood…) to how money affects your romantic relationships. Ideally, money is the sacred tool that you use to design and live your own best life. Understanding the emotions and beliefs that surround your money will empower you and help you envision a great next chapter. Tune in to this super fun and engaging conversation.
