HERself
As women and mothers of young children, it can be easy to compare ourselves to others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers! Being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. Are you wanting more ease in your marriage? Or more enjoyment as a parent? Are you looking for a strategy to the health challenges you have been facing recently? Do you feel like you have been staring at a stranger in the mirror since becoming a mother? Abby and Amy get vulnerable with topics around partnership, motherhood, health, and self improvement by interviewing authors, therapists, experts and everyday mothers. Our conversations will meet you with solutions and solidarity as you find a life path that feels aligned for you. If this sounds like you, hit play on your favorite episode title and make sure you're following the HERself podcast.

350: The Money Beliefs That Are Costing You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Money is one of the biggest sources of conflict in relationships, but it's rarely about the money itself. This week, we unpack why couples get stuck in the same financial arguments, how our childhood experiences and money beliefs shape the way we spend and save, and what it really takes to get on the same page with your partner. We also share practical ways to have healthier money conversations, better understand each other's financial habits, and build a stronger partnership instead of keeping score.
Key Topics Covered:
- The four common money personalities and how they influence financial decisions
- Why regular money check-ins help couples stay connected and avoid resentment
- How financial anxiety can show up as overspending, oversaving, or avoiding money altogether
- The impact of lifestyle creep, comparison, and keeping score in a relationship
- Four simple questions to uncover your own money beliefs and start better conversations with your partner
