Your bank balance isn’t just numbers... it’s stress, energy, and the stories you carry in your body.

That’s why so much “budget advice” fails the moment real life hits.

In this episode, I sit down with Brie Sodano, nationally recognized personal finance expert, founder of Cash Confident, and author of “Cash Confident: Practical Money Management for the Modern Women.” Brie shares her path from young motherhood and nonprofit work to teaching herself stock options trading, then building a business that focuses on what actually changes outcomes: clear cash flow systems, emotional skill, and the capacity to hold more responsibility, visibility, and income.

We also dig into her hot take on the financial advising industry and when paying for professional guidance can be worth it.

Then, we get practical. Brie explains why tracking your spending for a few months can change everything, how to spot “habit blindness,” and why time and energy are core personal finance resources.

We also talk automation: automate savings habits, but stay present with spending and payments so subscriptions and price creep don’t silently drain you.

If money has ever made you feel stupid, this conversation offers a more motherly perspective and real tools to build financial freedom.
