Have you ever stood in line at Starbucks debating whether or not to treat yourself to that iced vanilla oat milk latte, only to talk yourself out of it and head home with a lukewarm can of sparkling water? Yeah, same. And it’s not just coffee—it’s the haircut you reschedule, the help you don’t hire, the outfit you put back on the rack. Because you’re a responsible woman, right? A high-achieving, sacrifice-it-all-for-the-family kind of woman. But today’s episode of the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast flipped that entire belief system on its head. I sat down with Janine Mix—a Christian entrepreneur, author, speaker, and host of the Permission to Prosper podcast. This woman went from being $120,000 in debt (yes, you read that right) to becoming a multimillionaire by the age of 33. And spoiler alert: she didn’t get there by skipping coffee. She got there by healing her relationship with money. Let’s talk about it.

From $120K in Debt to Millions: Janine Mix on Rewriting Your Money Story | EU 270

You’re exhausted.
Not just physically. Emotionally. You’re running a household, keeping up with your career, holding the family calendar together, and still somehow managing the grocery list. You’re the default parent, the peacekeeper, the one who never stops, even when you should be resting. And somewhere in between the laundry and the late-night emails, you’ve lost the version of yourself that wasn’t running on fumes.

I’m Veronica Cisneros, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, wife, and mom of three. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from your spouse, stuck in silent power struggles over household chores, and torn between excelling in your career and actually enjoying your family. I’ve been the people-pleaser, the overachiever, the one trying to “hold it all together” while anxiety worked overtime behind the scenes.

On Empowered and Unapologetic, we’re ditching the guilt and having the conversations no one’s having at the PTA meeting. Here, you’ll get real talk and therapist-backed strategies on:

• Navigating marriage when it feels more like a business partnership than a relationship.
• Breaking the cycle of over-functioning and learning to rest without guilt.
• Sharing the mental and physical load at home—without another chore chart that no one uses.
• Shutting down power-pleasing patterns that leave you drained and resentful.
• Managing the anxiety that comes from constantly being “on.”

If you’re tired of looking like you have it all together while feeling like you’re falling apart, you’re in the right place. This is your space to breathe, laugh, and rebuild connection, without having to compromise yourself in the process.

Let’s do this together.
