Are you tired of feeling anxious about money despite working hard? Do you avoid opening bank statements, feel trapped by financial decisions you don't understand, or struggle with someone else controlling your access to money?
You're not alone.

Unlike traditional finance podcasts that focus only on the numbers, Tanya understands that financial freedom isn't just about budgets and spreadsheets. It's about healing emotional barriers, breaking unhealthy patterns, recognising financial abuse, and overcoming the shame that keeps us stuck. Whether you're dealing with a controlling partner who monitors every penny or simply need to understand the warning signs of financial coercion, this podcast provides crucial insights for protection and recovery
.
Whether you're a successful professional who secretly struggles with money management, someone experiencing or recovering from financial control in a relationship, or ready to break free from generational money patterns, this podcast offers a safe, non-judgmental space to learn, heal and grow.
Each week, through solo episodes, expert interviews and transformation stories, you'll discover practical tools and emotional support to help you build genuine financial confidence and independence. Because financial empowerment is possible for everyone – regardless of your starting point or past experiences.
Remember: financial freedom isn't just about the numbers – it's about breaking the chains that hold you back from living a life aligned with your values.
