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.

We’re not born with money beliefs. Most of what you think about money was handed to you as a child, especially before age 7, when your brain just absorbs everything.
Your “money story” is the narrative shaping your financial habits and feelings. No two stories are the same, even for siblings in the same household. It’s not just what you saw or heard but how you felt around money matters most.
Examples: Maybe you learned “we can’t afford that,” or “don’t talk about money, it’s rude,” or that money is a “man’s business.” These beliefs get wired in, often without us realising it.
As adults, these hidden scripts show up as overspending, under-earning, guilt over success, anxiety about budgeting, or feeling unsafe when you have “too much” money.
Here’s the good news: none of these stories are permanent. You’re not broken—just patterned. With awareness, you get to edit the script.
Try this: Reflect on your first memory of money. What messages did you pick up? How do they show up now? Then, decide what story you want to live by instead and start building small, intentional habits that reinforce it.
You inherited survival tools, but you can put down what no longer serves you, with love, and choose a new direction. Your story is valid, but it’s also editable. Today can be a fresh page.
