The Financially Free Woman Podcast
Financial independence, built through career and income of your own.
This show is for women tired of their corporate role, burnt out, or starting over after a job loss. Direct conversations about money, career, and building a life you don't need anyone's permission for.
I spent thirty years in corporate HR. I also spent years trying to build a business that would set me free - it never made me rich. What actually built my financial independence was a career I managed on purpose, plus money I made outside of it.

188: Breaking the Cycle of Financial Anxiety: A Step Towards Resilience
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I break down what I mean by financial resilience - moving from fear, panic, and anxiety around money to feeling calm, clearheaded, confident, and empowered even before you've achieved your financial goals.
I share why the first step to financial resilience is awareness. On the practical side, this means getting organized and knowing where your money is coming and going. More importantly, and less discussed, on the psychological side, observing your money behaviors and the patterns behind them.
I introduce the idea of “money disorders” (avoidance, worship, and relational issues) and how early experiences and financial flashpoints can shape how you react to money.
I share the power of pausing to self-soothe, including simple techniques like breathing, mindful practices, movement, and more empowering self-talk to help you get better at overcoming money challenges and make a simple, doable plan instead of reacting from anxiety and fear.
If you've tried all the money tactics like saving, budgeting, investing, planning and still anxious about money, this episode is for you.
