A Week In Her Wallet: A 49-Year-Old On A Weight Loss Journey


Listen Later

This week on A Week In Her Wallet, we’re diving deep into what it really means to spend with intention. Meet Amy, a 49-year-old higher education administrator living in Tennessee with her partner. She's in a season of transformation; focused on her health, reevaluating her habits, and redefining what “worth it” means when it comes to her wallet.

From zero-spend weekdays and resisting fancy lattes to a boutique shopping spree that lifted her spirits, Amy's week is a powerful reminder that every purchase tells a story.

💬 In this episode, you'll hear:

  • How Amy’s weight-loss journey reshaped her spending habits
  • The hidden financial perks of having a close-knit community
  • What she learned from trying weight loss medications and why she stopped
  • The emotional and practical value of tracking every expense (even the little ones)
  • 📩 Interested in being featured in a future episode? Fill out our A Week In Her Wallet participant form, we’d love to hear your story.
