If you’ve ever been in a financial cycle you just can’t seem to break—despite doing all the right things—you’re not alone. It’s frustrating, defeating, and often layered with shame… but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

In this episode, I’m joined by Tanya Taylor, CPA and MBA, who brings one of the most grounded, empowering takes on money I’ve heard. We’re talking real, practical guidance for breaking through financial plateaus—without guilt, perfectionism, or hustle culture BS.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why repeating money habits usually point back to emotional patterns
  
• The connection between your self-worth and your financial decisions
  
• How to move from survival mode to intentional money management
  
• What to do when your income increases—but your stress does too
  
• Practical steps to reset your financial foundation (no shame required)
  
• The power of seeing yourself as capable and worthy of wealth

Whether you’re trying to climb out of debt, build generational wealth, or finally feel in control of your money, this episode is packed with mindset shifts and self-worth reminders you didn’t know you needed.
