In this episode I sit down with Linda Grizely, Motivational Speaker, Financial Educator, and Realist with a Heart. Linda helps women who feel behind—financially or emotionally—reconnect with their self-worth and start making money decisions that actually reflect who they are and what they want. She is the creator of MeMoney™. She has a no-fluff approach to growth, became the foundation of her signature framework—a mindset-first approach that helps women trade guilt for clarity, self-neglect for self-trust, and hustle for alignment. Today, Linda speaks, teaches, and coaches women through the process of transforming their relationship with money—so they can stop just surviving their life and start choosing it.
