"Where Your Money Actually Goes — and Why It Matters"
Welcome to the very first episode of Money 101 with MoneyMender — the gentle, shame-free money podcast that helps you finally understand where your money is going and feel confident about the future you're building.
In this episode, our founder Kristin guides you through the quiet but powerful first step of financial clarity: awareness. Instead of complicated formulas or overwhelming budgeting, we start with something simple — looking at your spending with compassion, curiosity, and calm clarity. You'll learn why most people don't actually have a "spending problem," how visibility changes everything, and why noticing your habits is far more transformative than judging them.
We'll walk through a gentle, doable first task, share insights from the MoneyMender method, and help you take the first small step toward a healthier, more grounded relationship with your money.
You're not behind. You're just beginning — and beginning is brave.
