Disrupt Your Money: Liberation through Financial Education for Marginalized Business Owners
Disrupt Your Money is the unapologetic money podcast for marginalized small business owners who know that wealth building is a revolutionary act.
If you’ve ever wondered how to:
- Build a profitable, sustainable business that funds both today’s needs and tomorrow’s generational wealth
- Navigate systemic barriers while accessing the capital, resources, and opportunities you deserve
- Align your money moves with your values and community impact
- Protect your financial power in a system that was never designed for you to succeed
…you’re in the right place.
We believe economic equity is the key to reclaiming our financial power—and that dismantling and rebuilding our money systems is just as critical as making sales or filing taxes. Every week, we break down practical, shame-free strategies to help you grow, protect, and pass on wealth, so you can create a legacy that outlives you.
From pricing and profit strategies to money mindset and systemic change, we’ll talk about the real issues—without the jargon, judgment, or boring finance-bro vibes.
Whether we’re unpacking tax tips, demystifying investments, or calling out inequities in the financial system, our mission is simple: help you use your money to disrupt the status quo and build an equitable future.
Your business is more than income—it’s a tool for liberation. Let’s use it.

Money Is our Most Powerful Tool - How Are We Using It?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Money isn’t good or bad—it’s power.
And in a world where the economy was never built for most of us, that power can either quietly uphold the status quo… or help dismantle it.
In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, Meg breaks down how every dollar you earn, spend, save, or invest is a tiny vote for the kind of world you want to live in. From where you shop to how you price your work to the way you pay your people, your money is already doing political work—whether you mean it to or not.
You’ll learn how to line your money up with your values on purpose: using your business as a tool for equity, building community wealth, starting (or growing) an emergency fund, rethinking debt without shame, and taking small but real steps toward a more just economy—for you and your people.
