When Is Enough Actually Enough?
This week on the pod, I’m talking about why it can be so hard to feel like we have enough. We’re often so focused on the next goal, financial milestone, or better version of our lives that we forget to appreciate where we are right now. I’m exploring how we can keep working toward the things that matter to us without making our happiness dependent on getting there.

The Emotional Side of Letting Go
This week, I’m talking about the emotional side of letting go of things. From clothes that remind us of a different version of ourselves to toys that bring us right back to when our kids were little, sometimes our stuff holds a lot more than monetary value. We talk about why letting go can feel so hard, the memories attached to the things we keep, and how sometimes it’s not really about the stuff
When Money Becomes About More Than Money with Christy Lawrence
This week on the pod, I’m talking with author Christy Lawrence about what happens when money becomes about so much more than money.
Christy’s story really stuck with me because, on paper, she was doing everything “right.” She was earning a great income, had no debt, was saving for retirement, and had built what looked like a really solid financial life. And yet, after her marriage ended, she event
*Replay* Intentional Transitions: Grounding Yourself Financially and Emotionally This Fall

Why Some Expenses Feel Like a Personal Failure
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 l
The Money Rules You Never Chose
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
The Progress Trap: Why Perfection Keeps Us Stuck with Monica Packer
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 cho
Can We Stop Trying to Win Summer?
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
When Did Life Become One Giant Optimization Project?
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 questi
The Emotional Side of Money with Tari Vickery
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 expl
When Financial Advice Makes You Feel Worse
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
You Are a Philanthropist: Rethinking Generosity with Jenn Klein
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 al
Spending to Feel Like Yourself Again
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 expl
The Cost of Saying Yes
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, an

Tracy’s work goes far beyond organizing physical spaces. She helps people understand the emotional patterns, mindset shifts, and habits that often sit underneath clutter and overwhelm.
In our conversation, we talk about the connection between clutter, mone
The Invisible Financial Load of Being a Mom
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—o
More Than Money: Building a Life That Actually Feels Good with Kim O’Hara
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 overa
Financial Fatigue Is Real (And No One Talks About It)
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 fin
What Happens When Women Stop Competing with Ruchika Malhotra
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 chan
It’s Not Just Taxes: What This Season Is Actually Triggering
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.

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
What Your Spending Says About What You’re Avoiding
In today's episode, I explore a deeper layer of our spending habits—looking not at what our money is helping us move toward, but what it may be helping us avoid.
Building on the idea of the “upgraded self,” I share personal patterns I've noticed in her own life, from spending during moments of mental overwhelm to purchasing things that feel productive but actually delay decision-making. I also tou
The Root of Anxiety (and What It Means for Your Relationship with Money) with Ellen Vora
Today I’m really excited to share my conversation with psychiatrist and author, Dr. Ellen Vora. We dive into one of my favorite topics—anxiety—and explore it in a way that feels both grounding and empowering.
Dr. Vora takes a holistic, mind-body approach to anxiety, focusing on getting to the root rather than just managing symptoms. As you’ll hear throughout the conversation, there’s a powerful pa
The Upgraded Version of you: Who Are You Trying to Become When You Spend?
In this week's episode, I explore the idea of the “upgraded version” of ourselves—the elevated identity we imagine when we think about who we want to become. Inspired by a simple desire to buy a J.Crew sweater, I unpack the deeper psychology behind why certain purchases feel like they’re bringing us closer to a more confident, composed, and secure version of ourselves.
I discuss how many of us qui

Amanda works with leaders and high performers to help them understand how their brains work, shift the patterns that keep them stuck, and create the lives they truly want.
Amanda and I talk about how neuroscience and self-awareness can help us better understand our tr
What We Learned About Money From Our Mothers
In honor of Women’s History Month, today I’m reflecting on the subtle, unspoken money lessons I absorbed from my mom — and how those early patterns shaped my relationship with money in ways I didn’t fully understand until adulthood.
In this episode, I talk about how inherited money beliefs often live in our nervous systems, how survival strategies get passed down generationally, and why awareness
The Role of Delayed Gratification in a Hyper-Immediate World
In this week’s episode, I share a relatable story about almost buying a $178 sweater — and then hitting pause. That moment got me thinking about delayed gratification, impulse spending, and why it’s so hard to wait in a world built for instant rewards.
I talk about the psychology behind impulse buying, money habits, and self-control, what the marshmallow test teaches us about trust and patience, a
When Everything Is Fine But Money Still Feels Heavy
In this episode, we’re talking about the money anxiety that shows up even when nothing is technically wrong. Bills are paid. There’s no emergency. And yet, you still feel tense, on edge, or like you can’t fully relax around money.
I talk through why this happens, how past financial stress can linger in your nervous system, and why quiet seasons can make money anxiety feel louder. We also explore t
Why Self-Care Isn’t Enough (and How Money Matters) with Leslie Forde
In today's episode, I’m sharing my conversation with Leslie Forde — author, CEO, researcher, and advocate for women’s maternal needs. Leslie is the creator of Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs, a powerful framework that helps explain why traditional self-care so often falls short for moms.
We talk about why so many of the struggles moms face aren’t personal failures, but the result of systemic and cultural
When Everything Feels Urgent, Choose Steady
In today's episode, I talk about why money can feel so urgent when the world feels uncertain—and why that urgency is often anxiety, not clarity. I share what I’ve seen after nearly 20 years of working with people around money: most financial mistakes don’t come from waiting, they come from acting while overwhelmed or trying to feel in control.
We talk through what you don’t need to decide right no
How Grief Shows Up in Our Relationship With Money
In today's episode, I’m talking about the quiet, often unspoken ways grief shows up in our relationship with money. Not just the grief of losing someone we love, but also the grief tied to paths not taken, timelines that shifted, dreams that didn’t unfold the way we expected, and the lives we thought we’d be living by now.
I share how this kind of grief can sneak into everyday money decisions, sho
The Hidden Costs of Money Avoidance
Money avoidance is something most of us do at some point — especially when life feels overwhelming. And it doesn’t mean you’re irresponsible or bad with money. It means you’re human.
In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what money avoidance actually looks like, why it feels comforting in the moment, and the quiet ways it can end up costing us more over time — emotionally, relationally, and
The Good Girl Hangover and January Money
January has a way of bringing out the part of us that really wants to do everything right — especially with money. In this episode, I talk about what I call the good girl hangover: that rule-following, people-pleasing energy that shows up after the holidays and leaves us feeling pressured, restricted, and exhausted.
We’ll talk about how this “good girl” part learned to keep us safe, how she shows
How to Get Out of Winter Survival Mode with Kari Liebowitz
In this New Year episode of Money Isn’t Scary, I’m talking with social psychologist and author Kari Liebowitz about how to get out of winter survival mode and feel more supported by this season instead of just pushing through it. We explore how the way we think about winter can completely shift how it feels in our day-to-day lives, especially when we’re tired, overwhelmed, and juggling a lot.

Embracing the In-Between: Trusting the Space Between Where We Are and Where We’re Going
In today's episode, I'm reflecting on the liminal space between the end of one year and the beginning of the next—the hazy “in-between” where routines fall away, time feels weird, and it’s tempting to either over-hustle with resolutions or completely check out. I explore how this in-between mirrors our financial journeys, where growth is rarely linear and the quiet, uncertain seasons often hold th
Good Enough for the Holidays
In this very quick Christmas week check-in, I just wanted to share a simple reminder: you are not failing at the holidays, no matter what your spending, energy, or to-do list looks like. I talk about how this season is set up to make us feel “not enough,” and offer one gentle reflection question to help you soften the pressure and let “good enough” truly be enough, even if you feel both grateful a
Scarcity in the Season of Plenty
Even in this “season of plenty,” many of us carry a quiet sense of not enough — not enough time, energy, money, or headspace. In today's episode, I share why scarcity shows up more strongly this time of year, how it subtly influences our decisions, and why judging ourselves only makes it heavier.
We’ll explore:
Why the holidays can amplify feelings of lack
The subtle ways scarcity shows up in
The Gift We Forget to Give Ourselves
In today's episode, I talk about how easy it is to become invisible during the holiday chaos. Women are conditioned to give to everyone around us — our families, coworkers, communities — while giving almost nothing to ourselves.
I dig into why self-kindness and self-investment can feel so uncomfortable, why we default to burnout and “superhero mode” every December, and how the small, quick fixes w
The Money Secrets We Keep
In this episode, I’m diving into the money secrets we all carry — especially during a season where pressure and expectations are louder than ever. I talk about why we hide our financial stress, how holiday “performing” shows up in sneaky ways, and what this secrecy does to our emotional well-being.
I also share the small, grounded steps I use to practice more honesty with myself and others, why vu
Money and Family: Old Stories at the Table
This week (just in time for Thanksgiving), I'm talking about the money stories that resurface when we’re home for the holidays.
Why do old family roles come back so quickly? Why do questions about work, success, or “how we’re doing” feel so charged? And how can we stay grounded when other people’s money beliefs collide with our own?
In this episode, we explore:
• Why family triggers around money s
Gratitude for the Things We Once Resented
As we head into the season of gratitude, I’m taking a different perspective — one that looks back at the challenges we once resented and the growth they brought.
In this episode, I share a personal story about financial stress, burnout, and learning to trust myself when life felt uncertain. We’ll talk about how time and healing can transform resentment into wisdom — and how that same shift can cha

The Money Anxiety That Shows Up Before the Holidays
In today's episode, I dive into the subtle pressures and anticipatory anxiety that starts to build long before the first holiday shopping trip. Even as early as November, the “spend now” cues—from Black Friday emails to gift-giving expectations—can spark emotional and financial stress.
I talk about:
The roots of pre-holiday financial anxiety, from family expectations to the need for control and

Reclaiming Your Wallet (and Your Worth) from the Algorithm
This week on the show, I’m diving into something that’s been on my mind a lot lately — how social media algorithms quietly shape not just what we buy, but how we feel about money and ourselves. And since this happens to be episode 250 (which blows my mind!), it feels like the perfect time to talk about reclaiming our wallets and our worth from the digital noise.
We’re unpacking the sneaky ways the
Money & Connection: Building Community Through Our Finances
So often, money feels like something we’re supposed to figure out alone — a private, even isolating part of life. But the truth is, money is deeply relational. It impacts our families, friendships, and sense of belonging far more than we realize.
In this episode, I explore how to move from money as isolation to money as connection. I share why talking about money openly is powerful, how generosity

The “Invisible” Money Mindset: How Non-Spending Attitudes Shape Financial Life
In today's episode, I explore the less-talked-about side of money: non-spending attitudes. While spending habits often get all the attention (and guilt!), our beliefs and feelings about NOT spending can be just as powerful—and often more invisible.
I will dive into common mindsets around scarcity (“What if I need this later?”), shame about wealth (“If I have extra, people will judge me”), and dis

The Emotional and Financial Weirdness of Mid-August
Mid-August has a vibe, you guys — and it’s kind of a strange one. Summer’s not over, but it’s fading. The structure of fall is coming, but it’s not here yet. And in this weird in-between space, our energy, emotions, and money habits can get a little wonky.

The effects of digital addiction on our nervous systems, mental
The Role of Nostalgia and Memory in Spending Patterns
Today's episode was so much fun - I'm talking about the cross-section of memory and money—delving into how nostalgia shapes our spending habits.

Financial Anxiety and the “Emergency Mindset”
This week on the pod, we talk about financial anxiety!
