Money is Not Your Problem
If you've ever said "I'm just bad with money" — this podcast is for you.
Money Is Not Your Problem is for capable, hardworking women who are tired of starting over, avoiding their numbers, and wondering why nothing seems to stick. The truth is, financial struggle rarely comes down to math. It comes down to patterns, beliefs, and the stories we carry about what we deserve or what's even possible for us.
Each episode gives you something real: a financial concept explained simply, a mindset shift worth sitting with, and a practical step you can take before the week is out.
I'm Madeleine Strasburg — Financial and Life Coach, former math teacher, and founder of Strasburg Coaching. With a Master of Education, over 20 years of teaching personal finance, and certifications from Ramsey Solutions and The Life Coach School, I've worked with women at every stage of the financial journey. I know what it looks like to be smart and responsible yet still feel completely stuck with money.
This podcast is built on one core belief: money management is a learnable skill. Not a personality trait. Not a moral score. A skill — and you can build it.

Ep.46 💸🍾 The Only Cure for a Financial Hangover: The 3-Step Reset
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you know that feeling the morning after a money mistake? When you wake up and it hits you — what you spent, what you didn't pay, what you said yes to when you should have said no. That's what I call the Financial Hangover. And if you've ever been there, this episode is for you.
Here's what I want you to understand: the mistake itself is rarely what keeps you stuck. It's the shame that follows it. Shame is the number one reason professional women stay frozen in their finances — not lack of information, not lack of income. Shame. And the way most of us deal with it is by not looking. Not checking the account. Not opening the statement. I call that the Avoidance Tax — and it costs more than the original mistake ever did.
In this episode, I walk you through my Regulate, Reframe, Reclaim strategy. Three steps to move you from feeling stupid about money to thinking strategically about it. Because that's the shift. Not from broke to rich. From shame to strategy.
If you are tired of the spiral, this is your first step toward real financial momentum.
In this episode:
- The difference between guilt and shame — and why one drives growth while the other keeps you hiding
- The Avoidance Tax — why not looking at your bank account is the most expensive habit you have
- The 3-Step Reset — a breakdown of Regulate, Reframe, Reclaim
- The 3-Day Financial Reset Challenge: Starts Tuesday July 14th.
