You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do with your money.

You’re stuck because of who you believe you are with money.

In this solo episode, we’re breaking down the real reason financial habits don’t stick: identity. Because you can download every budgeting app, read every investing book, and still self-sabotage if your internal story says, “I’m bad with money,” “I’m behind,” or “I just need to earn more.”

We’re walking through the identity → beliefs → behaviors → outcomes cycle, the most common money identities women carry, and the inherited money stories that have been shaping your decisions for years — often without you realizing it.

And then we get practical. You’ll learn how to shift your financial identity in small, repeatable ways so your habits finally feel natural instead of forced.

Because real change doesn’t start with a new strategy.
It starts with becoming a different version of yourself with money.

You’ll hear:How your identity quietly determines your net worthWhy traditional financial advice fails so many smart, capable womenThe most common money identities — and how they show up in everyday lifeHow family, culture, and comparison shaped your money storyA simple process to start rewriting your financial identity this week
