This episode is for the woman who feels conflicted about money, especially if you don’t need it… but you want it. In this honest, unscripted conversation, I share a moment from a recent Goal Design session that cracked open a pattern I've seen for years: women feeling guilt, shame, or embarrassment for wanting to make more money, even when their needs are already met.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
Why women are far more likely to feel guilty for wanting money
The difference between needing money and wanting money
Why wanting money is often about decision-making power, not greed
Why money itself is neutral and what you choose to do with it matters
A simple framework to define “enough” and “more” in a way that feels aligned

This is your permission slip to stop apologizing for your desires and start rewriting your money story with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself: Why do I want to make more money?
And be 100% okay with whatever the answer is because it's your answer.
