In this episode, I’m chatting with my friend Christyne Gray, founder of She Profits Now. Christyne’s not your typical accountant — she helps business owners and creatives take control of their money in a way that actually supports their happiness and peace of mind.

We talk about what financial wellness really looks like, how systems like Profit First and envelope-style banking can totally change your life (and your nervous system), and why it’s never too early to start setting up purpose-assigned accounts — whether you’re a business owner or not.

We also dig into the mindset side of money: why we avoid looking at it, how to release the shame or anxiety around it, and how intentional financial structure can actually create more space, rest, and joy in your everyday life.

✨ Takeaways

• The difference between bookkeeping, CFO strategy, and true financial empowerment
• How allocation systems (like Profit First or Relay banking) reduce stress and decision fatigue
• The 40/20/40 cash flow rule and how it supports sustainable business growth
• Why understanding your numbers matters more than chasing more sales
• How financial clarity directly impacts your peace, confidence, and happiness
