Breaking Free from Money Stress with Amanda Neely

In this episode of The Empowered and Embodied Show, we explore how to transform financial stress and embrace the journey toward abundance. Our guest, Amanda Neely, CFP®, CEO of Wealth Wisdom Financial and seasoned entrepreneur, shares her story of using intentionality, clarity, and community support to change her relationship with money. Together, we unpack the myths that hold us back, discuss practical steps for financial empowerment, and dive deep into how to navigate the “messy middle” of life’s financial challenges with grace.

Amanda highlights how money is a tool, not a deity, and guides us on using it to support our goals rather than letting it control us. We touch on trusted advisorship versus disempowering advice, using stillness for breakthroughs, and how simple micro-adjustments can lead to big wins over time.

“What if it was easy? Embracing simplicity can be the key to reclaiming power in your relationship with money.” – Amanda Neely
