Fix Your Money Mindset and Change Your Financial Future

In this episode of She’s Ready for More, host Amanda Justice sits down with Prea Epps, founder of ReFramed Financial Coaching, for a powerful and honest conversation about money, trauma, and transformation.

Prea shares her deeply personal journey from childhood loss and financial instability to rebuilding her life after divorce and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. With over 15 years of experience in accounting and asset management, she brings both lived experience and professional insight into what it truly takes to shift from financial survival to sustainable wealth.

Together, Amanda and Prea unpack the emotional and psychological layers behind money habits, the impact of childhood experiences, and the importance of rewriting the narrative you’ve been carrying for years.

This episode is a reminder that your past may shape you, but it does not have to define your future.

Sonja Keeve is a master podcast coach, CEO of Sisters With a Voice Podcast Network, and author of Always Keep Your Joy. She helps women turn their voice into authority, visibility, and real revenue — in 30 days. This one is for the woman who’s lost something she didn’t expect to lose and needs to be reminded it’s not the end of her story.

Timestamps

Guest Introduction

(00:00:00) Sonja shares who she is at her core — a servant with a heart to pour into others consistently.

The Layoff That Changed Everything

(00:04:00) Sonja opens up about her 2015 corporate layoff and losing the identity she built around her title.

The 40-Day Fast & True Surrender

(00:06:00) With no plan B, Sonja leaned into a 40-day fast that changed everything — this is where she actually surrendered.

Unlearning Control

(00:07:30) Raised to be independent, Sonja had to unlearn everything she knew about strength and let God lead.

The Walk in Love T-Shirt Movement

(00:11:00) A hashtag became a t-shirt, a t-shirt became a shield, and one Dollar General moment launched a movement.

Becoming a Published Author

(00:15:00) A stranger saw something in Sonja’s story before she did — and one chapter cracked open a door she didn’t know was there.

Launching Inspiring Nations Podcast

(00:17:00) Inspired by Oprah, Sonja started a podcast in her dining room corner — and reached 164 countries in one year.

Layoffs Two & Three — And Going Full Time

(00:24:00) The second and third layoffs didn’t break her — they confirmed her. Her husband’s one sentence changed everything.

What Holds Women Back From Using Their Voice

(00:30:00) Imposter syndrome. Waiting to feel ready. Sonja gets direct about what silence is costing women.

Finding Community & Protecting Your Environment

(00:34:00) How walking alone in a park turned into community, accountability, and a whole new life.

Her Message to the Woman Ready for More

(00:37:00) Stop blocking your blessings. The joy is already on the other side — you just have to take the first step.

Powerful Quotes from This Episode

Sonja: “Have you ever been so broke but so happy at the same time?”

Sonja: “Don’t live in the misery. Take the leap so you can get to the other side of the joy that’s already waiting for you.”

You know exactly what you want to say. You’ve rehearsed it a hundred times. But when the moment comes — you go quiet. In this episode, Amanda gets honest about the conversations we keep putting off in our closest relationships and why staying silent is costing us more than we think. She shares her own story of pushing through postpartum depression, working from home with an infant, and spending two months too long afraid to tell her husband she needed out — and what happened the moment she finally said it out loud. This episode is a reminder that growth means being honest not just with yourself, but with the people you chose to do life with.

Welcome & Who This Episode Is For

(00:00:00) Amanda opens with a direct word

Have You Been Putting Off a Hard Conversation?

(00:00:45) Have you been avoiding a conversation with your spouse or partner because you’re afraid of the response or the outcome? You’ve run through every scenario — and still can’t say it.

Amanda’s Story: Newlywed, New Baby, and Running on Empty

(00:01:45) Married, pregnant, navigating postpartum, and working from home with a newborn while supporting women in crisis

Hitting the Boiling Point

(00:03:30) Amanda finally told her husband — this is not working for me. It’s a paycheck but my mental health is struggling. His response?

Why We Stay Quiet

(00:04:45) We’ve already played out every possible response in our heads and we’re terrified of one of them. So we stay quiet and convince ourselves we’re fine — while it gets heavier every day.

What Silence Actually Does to Your Relationship

(00:06:00) He thinks everything is okay because you’re not saying otherwise. You cannot be frustrated with someone for not responding to a conversation you never had.

You Were Never Meant to Carry This Alone

(00:07:15) Keeping everything inside isn’t protecting anyone — it’s blocking you. You cannot fully step into who you’re called to be while carrying things you don’t have to carry alone.

Faith, Hurt, and Why Speaking It Out Loud Shifts Everything

(00:08:30) The hesitation is real and Amanda isn’t dismissing it. But this is where faith comes in.

Tool #1: The Capacity Check-In

(00:09:30) Amanda and her husband rate themselves by percentage throughout the week. A hard conversation at 30% won’t go the way you want. Knowing each other’s capacity changes everything.

Tool #2: The Weekly Intentional Check-In

(00:11:00) Fifteen to thirty minutes, just the two of you. Something you struggled with, something you appreciate, and something you noticed and are grateful for. Simple. Intentional. It works.

Tool #3: Pray Together

(00:12:15) For the couples who are believers — pray together about what you’re facing individually and collectively. It doesn’t have to be long or perfect. Just intentional.

The Conversation Amanda Kept Putting Off

(00:13:15) She sat in it two months longer than she had to. When she finally said it, her husband told her to leave the job. That was it. Two months of unnecessary stress — gone in one conversation.

Whatever Your Conversation Is — Have It

(00:14:30) Going back to school, starting a business, something that hasn’t been sitting right — give the people in your life the opportunity to actually understand you.

Your Voice Matters. Use It.

(00:15:30) Closing encouragement and how to connect with Amanda or become a guest on She’s Ready For More.

Quotes From This Episode:

“We cannot be frustrated with someone for not responding to a conversation that we never had.”

“You cannot fully step into who you are called to be while carrying things that you don’t have to carry alone.”

You are waiting until you feel ready. Until you have more confidence, more time, more resources, more of whatever you think you need. But what if God is not waiting on the polished version of you — what if he already called the one standing right here?

In this episode of She’s Ready for More, Amanda Justice gets real about every moment she stood at the edge of something and talked herself out of it before she even tried. Becoming a life coach. Becoming a mom. The callings that made her say God, are you sure you have the right person? And what happened every single time she moved before she felt ready anyway.

This episode is for the woman who has been getting ready to get ready for years. The perfect moment is not coming. But the right moment is already here.

Timestamps

Welcome & Setting the Stage

(00:00:13) Amanda opens with a direct word — this episode is for the woman who keeps waiting. Waiting until she feels ready, until everything falls into place, until she has more of whatever she thinks she needs.

God Are You Sure You Have the Right Person

(00:01:30) Amanda shares her own moments of feeling called and immediately questioning whether she was the right one. Becoming a life coach. Becoming a mom. The pull was clear — and she still stood there asking God if he was sure.

Every Time She Moved Before She Felt Ready — God Handled the Rest

(00:02:45) Every single time Amanda stepped out before she had the full plan, before she felt qualified, before she had all the answers — God handled what she could not. And she wants you to think about that.

There Is a Difference Between Preparation and Procrastination

(00:04:00) Some of us have been getting ready to get ready for years. Preparation is important — but sometimes we dress up procrastination to look like it. One more course. One more certification. One more book. There is a line.

You Are Not Waiting on God — God Is Waiting on You

(00:05:00) He does not need a thousand things to fall into place. He needs one moment, one room, one opportunity, one yes from you. The perfect moment is not coming. But the right moment is already here.

Everything You Have Been Through Was Preparation

(00:06:15) Nothing was wasted. Your life, your lessons, everything you survived — all of it was getting you ready. The woman you are right now, with everything you have and everything you do not have yet, is exactly who God called. Not the future version. This version.

Becoming Starts With One Decision

(00:07:30) It does not start when everything is perfect. It starts with the moment you say I do not have it all together but I am going to move anyway. That is faith in action. And when you step out before you feel ready, you discover things about yourself you never knew were there.

4 Practical Steps to Help You Move

(00:09:00)

1. Get into the word — really get to know God’s character and his promises. The more you know him the more you trust him. And that trust is what gives you the courage to move when everything in you says wait

2. Have an honest conversation with yourself — where are you actually holding back and why? Write it down. A lot of us say we want more but we are not doing what is required to get there

3. Do one thing — not ten things, not a whole new plan. One move in the direction of where you are trying to go. Just start there

4. Get in rooms that stretch you — put yourself somewhere you are the student not the teacher. Growth does not happen inside your comfort zone

Closing

(00:12:00) God is not waiting on the perfect version of you. That version does not exist. He is waiting on the willing version. All it takes is one moment — and he will handle the rest.

Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“When you step out before you feel ready, you discover things about yourself you never knew were there.”

Who were you before anybody had an opinion about you?

In this episode of She’s Ready for More, Amanda Justice gets deeply personal about the moment someone close to her said something that changed the way she saw herself — and how she spent years rearranging herself around words that person probably forgot they ever said. This episode is for the woman who has been living an edited version of herself and does not even fully realize it. The auditions are over. It is time to stop performing for people who are not even in the room anymore.

Timestamps

Welcome & The Opening Question

(00:00:12) Before we get into anything — who were you before anybody had an opinion about you? Amanda invites listeners to go back to one specific moment that changed how they saw themselves.

Amanda’s Personal Story — I Love You But I Don’t Like You

(00:01:15) Someone whose acceptance Amanda wanted more than anything looked at her and said those words. She could not shake it. And without realizing it, she started changing herself just to make that person feel differently about her.

It Is Not Always One Big Moment

(00:02:30) Sometimes it is years of little things. A comment here. A look there. Something said so casually the person forgot it immediately — but you never did. A mom, a dad, a spouse, a friend, a teacher. It does not matter who it was. What matters is that you gave their opinion more weight than it ever deserved.

The Auditions Are Over

(00:03:45) Whoever that person was has probably moved on with their life. They are not losing sleep over what they said. But here you are still rearranging yourself around a moment they forgot about a long time ago. You are out here auditioning for a role in your own life — and it is time to stop performing for people who are not even in the room anymore.

When You Are Not Rooted, Other People’s Words Get In

(00:05:00) When you are firm in what you believe about yourself, nothing anyone says can shake it. But when you are not there yet — that is when other people’s words take up space they were never supposed to have.

Other People’s Opinions Are Not Your Assignment

(00:06:15) What somebody said about you, what somebody thought about you, what somebody made you feel — that is theirs, not yours. If you have been carrying something that was never meant to be in your bag, it is time to put it down. The woman you were before all of that — she was enough. She still is.

Becoming Her Is an Inside Job

(00:07:30) Becoming her has nothing to do with your career, your relationship status, your bank account, or how put together your life looks. It is about your character, the way you think, the way you move, the way you show up when nobody is watching.

What God Says About You Will Always Outweigh What Anyone Else Said

(00:08:30) When you are rooted in your faith and you understand what God said about you — it changes how you think, how you decide, and how you respond when someone else’s opinion tries to creep back in.

4 Ways to Start Getting Back to Her

(00:09:15)

1. Rewire intentionally — catch the thought that sounds like that person’s voice and interrupt it on purpose every single time

2. Get serious about what you are consuming — what you watch, listen to, and who you are around. If it is not pouring into you it is pulling from you

3. Spend time with God — getting still, praying, reading, letting God remind you of who he said you are

4. Pick up a good book — something that actually challenges the way you think and helps you see yourself differently

Closing

(00:11:00) You deserve to know who you are outside of everybody else’s opinion. The woman you were before all of that — she is still there. It is time to wake her up.

Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“What God says about you will always outweigh what anybody else has ever said about you.”

You are doing the work. You are showing up. You are being consistent. So why aren’t you seeing results yet?

In this episode of She’s Ready for More, Amanda Justice gets honest about one of the most frustrating parts of growth — the quiet season where you are putting in the effort but nothing around you looks different yet. She unpacks why real transformation does not happen on our timeline, why delayed does not mean denied, and what to focus on when the waiting feels unbearable.

If you have ever thought this can’t be it while doing everything right — this episode is going to meet you right where you are.

Timestamps

Welcome & Setting the Stage

(00:00:16) Amanda opens with the cultural pressure for quick results — and why women of faith know that things happen on God’s timeline, not ours.

When Consistency Feels Like It Is Not Working

(00:01:30) You are doing the work, making better decisions, showing up differently — but nothing around you has changed yet. This is the season most people quit. Amanda shares her own experience of putting her head down for weeks and months and wondering if it was even working.

Real Transformation Does Not Always Show Up Immediately

(00:03:00) Sustainable transformation is not instant. Everyone’s timing is different. What you see on the outside of someone else’s life does not reflect what happened behind the scenes to get them there.

What Feels Like Delay Is Actually Development

(00:04:15) It is not a no. It is not a never. It is a not right now. This is the season where character is being built, discipline becomes consistent, and the foundation is being strengthened for everything that comes next.

When Something Grows Too Quickly Without a Foundation

(00:05:30) It cannot sustain itself. Everything being developed in this quiet season is going to be needed at your next level — and it needs to be built intentionally.

3 Things to Keep in Mind During a Quiet Season

(00:06:45)

1. Stay consistent with what you are doing — consistency looks different for everyone. You define yours. Two days a week is still consistency. Do not exceed your capacity because of what someone else is doing

2. Focus on your progress not the timeline — comparing your now to someone else’s now will lead to discouragement every time

3. Pay attention to the internal changes happening within you — mindset shifts, stronger faith, improved discipline, increased peace, higher standards. These are all evidence of growth even when nothing external has changed yet

The Quiet Season Is Where the Most Important Work Takes Place

(00:09:30) Growth is not just about reaching the destination. It is about who you become along the way. Do not rush the process — when you do, you risk missing the lessons you are going to need at the next level.

Closing

(00:10:45) Delayed does not mean denied. It does not mean no. It just means not yet — because something still needs to be developed before the yes can happen.Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“What feels like delay is actually development.”

“It’s not a never, it’s not a no, it’s a not right now.”

“When something grows too quickly without a strong foundation, it cannot sustain itself.”

“Consistency means you are not giving up. You are still doing the work. You are still showing up.”

“Sometimes the greatest evidence of growth isn’t what you see around you. It’s who you’re becoming in the process.”

“Delayed does not mean denied.”

“Growth isn’t just about reaching the destination. It’s about who you become along the way.”

If life feels like it is pulling things away from you right now — friendships shifting, priorities changing, things that once felt comfortable suddenly feeling off — this episode is going to give you language for what is actually happening.

In this episode of She’s Ready for More, Amanda Justice introduces one of the most important and least talked about stages of growth — pruning. The season where things are removed not to harm you, but to prepare you. Amanda breaks down three types of pruning every woman experiences during a growth season and walks you through how to recognize which stage you are in right now.

If you have been wondering whether something is wrong with you — it is not. You may just be in a season of preparation.

Timestamps

Welcome & Setting the Stage

(00:00:15) Amanda opens the conversation about a stage of growth most women experience but rarely have language for — pruning.

What Is Pruning and Why Does It Happen

(00:01:30) Just like pruning a plant removes what is dead or damaged to protect its ability to grow, pruning in our lives removes what is unnecessary so we can direct our energy where it matters most.

The Subtle Signs You Are Being Pruned

(00:02:45) Music that no longer feels right. Priorities shifting. Handling conflict differently than you used to. Amanda shares personal moments where she realized she was being refined — and how she recognized it.

When God Removes People From Your Life

(00:04:15) One of the hardest parts of pruning — losing friendships and relationships you genuinely cared about. Sometimes seasons with people come to an end. That is not failure. That is growth.

The 3 Types of Pruning Every Woman Experiences

(00:06:00)

Type 1 — Awareness Pruning

The beginning stage. Things start feeling different. You notice the misalignment. Something inside you is shifting even if you cannot fully name it yet.

Type 2 — Refinement Pruning

Now you are aware — so what are you going to do about it? This is where the work becomes intentional. You start removing distractions, shifting your time, getting focused on what actually matters.

Type 3 — Positioning Pruning

What was removed has now created space. New opportunities can enter. New growth can happen. You are not just aware and working — you are being repositioned for what is next.

3 Reflection Questions to Ask Yourself This Week

(00:09:30)

1. What currently feels misaligned in my life? Do a full life audit — mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, intellectually

2. Where is my energy currently scattered? Anything that constantly pulls your attention away from what you are building will eventually slow your growth if not stop it

3. What might I be holding onto simply because it feels familiar? Familiar does not mean aligned

Closing

(00:12:00) Pruning is one of the most important stages of growth because what is removed today creates space for what will grow tomorrow. If life feels like it is refining you right now — do not assume something is wrong. You may be in a season of preparation.

Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“The pruning hurts — but it prepares you for your future harvest.”

“Growth is about removing what no longer fits so you can continue to grow into the woman you are becoming.”

“Pruning removes what is unnecessary so we can direct our energy where it matters most.”

“Just because it is familiar does not mean that it is aligned.”

“Sometimes growth requires releasing what once made sense so you can move forward towards what makes sense now.”

“What is removed today creates space for what will grow tomorrow.”

Growth looks boring before it looks beautiful.

In this episode of She’s Ready for More, Amanda Justice goes deeper into the transformation season — past the seed planting and into the part that nobody glamorizes. The inner work. The mindset shifts. The boundaries that have to be set. The emotional regulation that has to be developed. The honest conversations you have to have with yourself before anything on the outside starts to change.

This is the episode for the woman who is doing the work but cannot see the results yet — and needs to be reminded that the internal transformation is the most important part.

Timestamps

Welcome & Setting the Stage

(00:00:10) Amanda continues the Season 2 conversation about growth and transformation — going deeper into the inner work that nobody sees and nobody talks about.

The Biggest Misconception About Transformation

(00:01:15) Most people think transformation starts externally — a new job, a new city, a new look. But if the root of the issue has not been addressed, outside changes only last so long before you end up right back in the same place emotionally.

The Quick Fix Trap

(00:02:30) Amanda gets personal about her own pattern — treating herself to something new when something was wrong, getting that temporary boost, and then watching the feeling fade while the real issue was still staring back at her in the mirror.

When the Internal Work Is Solid, the External Glow Up Hits Different

(00:04:00) Amanda is all for the glow up — but there is a difference between an external change as a mask and an external change as an expression of who you actually are. Real transformation starts internally first.

God Works on Your Character Before He Changes Your Circumstances

(00:05:15) Before anything around you shifts, he is developing what is inside of you. Awareness is the beginning of transformation — and most of us know exactly where we need to grow. We just avoid it.

Boundaries Are Not About Other People — They Are About You

(00:06:30) Boundaries communicate what you will accept and what you will no longer tolerate. Amanda shares her own journey from years of saying yes when she meant no — and what changed when she finally started honoring herself first.

Not Everyone Will Be Comfortable With Your New Standards

(00:08:15) Some people will say you changed. Some will say you think you’re better. This is part of the process. The woman God is shaping you into may not fit into every role, relationship, or friendship you previously accepted.

Self Mastery — The Most Powerful Form of Growth

(00:09:30) Self mastery is the ability to manage your emotions, reactions, and responses to what is happening around you. Pausing before reacting. Responding with intention instead of impulse. Amanda shares how God has been developing this in her personally.

3 Things to Reflect on This Week

(00:11:30)

1. Ask yourself honestly — what areas in my life do I need to address right now? A boundary, a pattern, a habit? Write it down. It is between you and God.

2. Give yourself permission to focus on small daily progress — the small choices you make consistently are what add up over time. Do not discount them.

3. Just because you cannot see the fruit does not mean it is not growing — the internal work is the work that matters most.

Closing Encouragement

(00:13:15) If you are in a quiet season where results are not visible yet — stop beating yourself up. God is shaping your character, strengthening your mindset, and refining the woman you are becoming. Give it time. One day that fruit is going to be so visible it will amaze even you.

“If you are an emotionally regulated woman, you know how powerful you could be.”

What would you say to the younger version of you — the one who didn’t have all the answers yet, who was still scared, still figuring it out, still trying to find where she belonged?

In this closing episode of the Women’s History Month series, Amanda Justice asked women in her community to write letters to their younger selves — and the result is one of the most moving episodes of She’s Ready for More yet. Three community members share their letters about confidence, relationships, and the courage to take chances. And then Amanda shares her own — a deeply personal letter that covers adoption, bullying, single motherhood, heartbreak, and the woman she has become on the other side of all of it.

Have your tissues ready. This one is going to stay with you.

Timestamps

Welcome & Series Wrap Up

(00:00:11) Amanda closes out Women’s History Month with an episode built around reflection — letters to our younger selves and the wisdom that only comes through living.

Letter 1 — Rosalyn Brown

(00:02:00) A letter about body image, divorce, single motherhood, depression, a decade-long relationship that was never going to lead to marriage, and a love story that came full circle on what would have been a 20th wedding anniversary.

Amanda’s Reflection on Letter 1

(00:05:30) Insecurities do not disappear — they shift. And life rarely follows the timeline we imagined. But the best things often come after the seasons we thought were going to break us.

Letter 2 — Accept People as They Are, But Place Them Where They Belong

(00:07:15) An anonymous letter about spending years trying to fix relationships that were never meant to be fixed, holding on to friendships long after they stopped being healthy, and the lesson that finally brought peace — not everyone deserves front row access to your life.

Amanda’s Reflection on Letter 2

(00:09:30) Loyalty does not mean holding on no matter what. Sometimes the most mature thing you can do is wish someone well and still recognize they do not belong in the same space in your life anymore. That is not bitterness. That is wisdom.

Letter 3 — Learning to Take Chances

(00:10:45) A letter about overthinking, talking yourself out of opportunities, staying quiet when you had something valuable to say, and the truth that eventually changed everything — failure is not the thing you should be afraid of. It is part of the process.

Amanda’s Reflection on Letter 3

(00:13:30) The people who grow the most are not the ones who avoided failure. They are the ones who kept going anyway. Courage is not feeling fearless — it is moving forward even when you are not sure of the outcome.

Amanda’s Letter to Her Younger Self

(00:14:45) Amanda reads her own letter — covering being placed for adoption, bullying, struggling to find where she belonged, becoming a single mother at 21, seasons of heartache, and the women and the life that were waiting for her on the other side of all of it.

Closing Reflection

(00:19:30) The younger version of you was doing the best she could with the awareness and the tools she had at the time. The woman you are today is proof that she made it through things she once thought she would not. Your story is still being written.

Powerful Quotes from This Episode

“Sometimes the best things in our lives come after the seasons we thought were going to break us.”

“Accept people as they are — but place them where they belong.”

“You can love people and still create distance. You can care about someone and still recognize they are not meant to walk the same path with you.”

“Courage isn’t about feeling fearless. It’s about moving forward even when you are not sure of the outcome.”

“The pain you once carried will turn into purpose. The confusion you once felt will turn into clarity.”

“Your story is still unfolding. It is still being written.”
