In this powerful episode of CEO School, host Suneera Madhani is joined by the incomparable Tiffany Aliche, aka @thebudgetnista. Tiffany opens up about how a financial scam, a job loss during the recession, and $300,000 in debt led her to start her mission: helping women become financially whole.

Tiffany shares how she went from a broke preschool teacher to a New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Get Good With Money Library. This conversation covers everything from the emotions of financial shame to building generational wealth—and why women must stop underestimating their power.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

💸 The 10-step framework to achieve "financial wholeness"

🚫 The biggest money mistakes women make (and how to avoid them)

📈 How to invest without fear, even during market uncertainty

👩🏽‍💼 Why budgeting alone won’t build wealth (and what to focus on instead)

🤝 The CEO-level move that saved Tiffany from a $250K IRS nightmare

This is the money conversation every woman needs to hear. Whether you're scaling your business or sorting your personal budget, you'll walk away empowered and equipped to take control of your financial future.
