🎙 Episode Description

Money after loss isn't just about numbers — it's about grief, identity, and rebuilding confidence when everything has changed.

In this episode of Real Money, Real Life™, Linda Grizely sits down with Paula Harris to talk about what widows face financially after loss — and how to move forward with clarity, compassion, and control.

Paula shares insights from her work as a financial planner and widow advocate, helping women navigate the overwhelming decisions that often arrive during grief. Together, they discuss how traditional financial advice often misses the emotional reality of widowhood, and why meeting women where they are matters just as much as the strategy itself.

This conversation centers on practical guidance, emotional awareness, and permission to move at your own pace — especially during one of life's most profound transitions.

🎙 Episode Description

Motherhood doesn't erase ambition — but it often reshapes how women earn, negotiate, and build wealth.

In this episode of Real Money, Real Life™, Linda Grizely is joined by Khiara Cureton, Executive Career & Wealth Coach and founder of AncHER Co., to unpack the money blocks that show up after women become mothers. Together, they explore how guilt, burnout, and identity shifts impact earning power, career progression, and long-term wealth — and why motherhood often exposes not just a glass ceiling, but a wealth ceiling.

Khiara shares why career and money are inseparable, how hesitation quietly keeps women underpaid and overlooked, and what ambitious mothers can do to step into leadership and financial confidence without sacrificing presence or burning out. This conversation is a grounded resource for mothers who refuse to shrink their goals and want to build a life where ambition, money, and motherhood coexist.

🎙 Episode Description

Money is one of the most common sources of stress in relationships — not because couples don't care, but because most were never taught how to talk about it.

In this episode of Real Money, Real Life™, Linda Grizely sits down with Dr. Robin Buckley to explore how couples can approach money conversations with more clarity, structure, and intention. Drawing on her background in cognitive-behavioral coaching and business frameworks, Robin shares why money discussions often become emotionally charged and how couples can reduce conflict by creating shared roles, routines, and expectations around finances.

Together, they discuss how communication styles impact financial confidence, why avoiding money conversations often causes more harm than good, and how couples can build trust and alignment without blame or overwhelm. This episode is a practical resource for couples — especially women — who want to feel confident with money while strengthening their relationship.

💡 We Talk About

• Why money becomes one of the biggest stressors in relationships • How emotional reactions derail financial conversations • Using business-style structure to reduce conflict • Creating intentional money conversations as a couple • How clarity and communication strengthen both finances and connection

🎙 Episode Description

Traditional financial advice wasn't built for real life — or for women — and this episode explains why.

In this conversation, Linda Grizely is joined by Lisa Chastain, nationally recognized money expert and author of Stop Budgeting, Start Living, to unpack why shame-based financial advice keeps people stuck and how money beliefs are shaped long before we ever touch a budget or an investment account.

Lisa explains how neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and financial imprinting influence the way we think, feel, and act with money, especially for women who were never taught to see themselves as financially powerful. Together, Linda and Lisa explore why budgeting fails so many people, how clarity creates calm, and what it looks like to build a relationship with money rooted in self-trust instead of restriction.

This episode is for anyone who feels capable in life but disconnected or anxious around money — and who is ready to stop following a system that was never designed for them.

💡 We Talk About

• Why the financial industry is broken for women
• How shame-based money advice keeps people stuck
• Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and financial imprinting
• Why budgeting doesn't work for most people
• The connection between self-trust and financial confidence
• Using simple systems to create clarity and calm
