This isn’t your typical episode of The Bookkeepers’ Podcast – we recorded it live in front of an audience at the Festival of Accounting and Bookkeeping… and got very real about money baggage, growing up, glow-ups, and the awkward stories that shape how we show up in business.

If you've ever:

✅ Felt weird about charging what you're worth

✅ Made financial decisions based on fear or old beliefs

✅ Thought someone rich must be a drug dealer (yep, we said it 😅)

...you are absolutely going to feel seen in this episode.

🎙 In this episode:

👉 How childhood experiences shape our relationship with money

👉 The awkward money moments we’ve had as partners

👉 Why bookkeepers struggle to charge properly (hint: it’s not about pricing)

👉 Hilarious stories about bad earrings, frozen credit cards, and Target bags

👉 Why your money mindset may be silently holding you back

💥 We also share real listener stories of undercharging, overgiving, and finally finding the confidence to turn it all around.
