She Talks Money

Getting pre-approved is more than checking your credit and finding out how much house you can afford. There are several behind-the-scenes factors that can impact your approval—and even jeopardize your loan after you've already started shopping.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what lenders are really looking at, including your debt-to-income ratio, job changes, seasoned funds, and the costly mistakes that can delay or even derail your closing. If you're planning to buy a home, this is the information I wish every buyer knew before they started the process.

In this episode of She Talks Money, I'm talking about one of the biggest challenges that comes with being your own boss—and it has nothing to do with finding clients. It's learning how to manage your money with intention and creating healthy boundaries between your business and your personal finances.

I share why separating your business and personal accounts is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make. Instead of moving money back and forth whenever you need it, I explain how paying yourself on a consistent schedule helps you think like a CEO, understand what your business is actually earning, and build long-term financial stability.

We also dive into preparing for the reality of inconsistent income. I talk about why every entrepreneur should have two emergency funds: one for your personal life to cover three to six months of living expenses, and another for your business to help you navigate slower seasons without panic. Plus, I share simple strategies like setting aside money for taxes and budgeting for support—whether that's childcare, a house cleaner, or other help that gives you back the time and energy to focus on growing your business.

If you're tired of wondering where your money is going or feeling like your business is running you instead of the other way around, this episode will give you practical strategies to build a stronger financial foundation, reduce stress, and start managing your business like the CEO you are.

In this episode of She Talks Money, I sit down with the amazing Taylor Rezac, a fitness and nutrition coach who’s all about keeping wellness realistic and sustainable. Taylor’s love for food started in her family’s kitchen, and her athletic background shaped her journey into becoming the coach she is today.

We dive into everything from high-protein meal ideas (that actually taste good!) to mental health strategies and building routines you can actually stick with. Taylor shares why balancing fitness with real life matters so much, how focusing on protein intake can make a big difference, and why movement should bring joy—not stress.

We also get personal about her own shift toward prioritizing mental health, self-compassion, and the power of small, consistent habits.

This is a conversation packed with practical tips and plenty of encouragement to help you create routines that support your life—not control it. Can’t wait for you to listen and let me know your favorite takeaways!

Success isn't built in one big moment—it's built through the small decisions we make every single day.

In this week's episode of She Talks Money, I sit down with Realtor and business owner Amanda Miller for an honest conversation about what it really takes to build a successful business and a life you're proud of.

We talk about leaving a corporate career, taking calculated risks, building confidence without seeking validation, protecting your personal power, and why the best advisors lead with education—not sales. Amanda also shares why waiting for the "perfect" time, whether in business or buying a home, often keeps people stuck.

This conversation is filled with practical wisdom for entrepreneurs, women in business, and anyone looking to make confident decisions that align with the life they're building.

As we reach the middle of the year, I think so many of us are feeling the same thing, exhausted.

We've spent months showing up for work, taking care of our families, checking things off our to-do lists, and pouring into everyone else. But when was the last time you checked in with yourself?

In this week's solo episode of She Talks Money, I'm inviting you to press pause for a simple midyear life reset. Not a productivity reset, a life reset.

We'll reflect on what you're actually proud of this year, what you're looking forward to, and walk through a simple exercise to evaluate four important areas of your life: money, health, relationships, and joy.

Because you're not behind. And sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest changes.

Take five minutes for yourself this week, you deserve it. And if this episode encourages you, share it with another woman who could use this reminder, and let me know which episode from the Summer Well series has impacted you the most. 🤍

In this week’s episode of She Talks Money, I sit down with TEDx speaker, high-performance coach, and holistic health expert Angelica Ventrice for a powerful conversation about the identity trap so many high-achieving women find themselves in.

We talk about how the same identity that helps us achieve success can also lead to burnout, disconnection, and feeling like we've lost ourselves along the way. Angelica shares her own journey—from becoming a top pharmaceutical sales representative to walking away from a successful seven-figure fitness business to pursue work that aligned more deeply with who she was becoming.

Together, we explore what it really looks like to reinvent yourself, why letting go of old identities can feel like grief, how burnout often shows up long before we recognize it, and why so many women stay loyal to versions of themselves that no longer serve them. We also dive into how nervous system regulation impacts our decisions, our relationships, and our ability to lead, along with simple, practical tools you can start using today to create more peace, energy, and alignment.

If you've ever felt like you've outgrown the life you've built, this conversation is your reminder that you're allowed to evolve. Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is stop asking who you've always been—and start asking who you're becoming.

This week on She Talks Money, I’m sharing one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from being around successful women: they don’t necessarily spend more money, they spend their time differently.

With only two more summers before my daughter graduates, I’ve been thinking deeply about how quickly these seasons pass and how intentional we need to be with the moments that matter most. In this episode, I talk about why wealthy women treat time as an asset, prioritize experiences over things, protect their energy, and stop waiting for “someday” to enjoy their lives.

I’ll also challenge you to choose three memories you want to create before Labor Day and put them on the calendar today.

Because the memories we create with the people we love are the things that truly compound over time.

Tune in and don’t miss next week’s final episode in this series, where we’ll be doing a powerful midyear reset.

This week on She Talks Money, we're talking about one of the most important subjects most of us never learned in school: financial literacy.

If we want our kids to grow up with confidence around money, we can't wait for the education system to teach them. We have to create those lessons at home through real experiences and conversations.

In this episode, I share seven practical ways to teach kids ages 5–17 about earning, saving, investing, giving, and making thoughtful spending decisions. From summer earning challenges and "spend, save, give" jars to teaching opportunity cost and showing them that money can make money, these simple lessons can have a lifelong impact.

Because money isn't something to fear or avoid talking about. It's a tool—and when kids understand how to use it well, they gain options, freedom, and the ability to make a difference in the lives of others.

Tune in for practical ideas to help raise financially confident kids and create healthy money conversations at home.

This week on She Talks Money, I sat down with the incredibly talented Mackenzie Lebine—hairstylist, salon owner, and nationally recognized educator—to talk about confidence, self-investment, and what it really takes to keep showing up for yourself.

From overcoming imposter syndrome and navigating setbacks to building a business rooted in kindness and culture, Mackenzie's story is a reminder that success isn't about avoiding hard seasons—it's about getting back up every time life tries to knock you down.

We talk about the power of mentorship, pushing past fear, creating opportunities for yourself, and why women need to stop putting themselves last.

Because investing in yourself isn't selfish. It's often the very thing that changes the trajectory of your life.

If you've ever questioned yourself, worried about what others think, or wondered if you have what it takes, this episode is for you.

What if success isn't supposed to feel this exhausting?

This week on She Talks Money, I sit down with Christi Cossette to talk about something so many high-achieving women experience but rarely discuss: burnout disguised as success.

We dive into why so many women are carrying the weight of everyone and everything around them, how ambition can quietly turn into exhaustion, and what it looks like to reclaim your energy without giving up your goals.

This conversation is a reminder that you weren't meant to spend your life simply managing stress, checking boxes, and pushing through. You were made for more than high-functioning burnout.

If you've ever felt successful on paper but disconnected from your own life, this episode will challenge you to redefine success on your terms and create a life that actually feels like yours.
