Why do so many intelligent, successful people still struggle with money?

In this episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs, Charisse Walker interviews Monica Kaufman, CFP®, founder of Harmony Wealth Academy, about the hidden psychology behind money, financial stress, emotional spending, wealth-building, and the patterns we inherit as children that continue shaping our lives as adults.

Monica explains why financial freedom is not created through motivation alone—it is built through systems, structure, identity shifts, and intentional decision-making. Together, they discuss money archetypes, marriage and money struggles, entrepreneurship, financial anxiety, retirement planning, debt, and how emotional patterns silently sabotage success.

This conversation is honest, practical, emotional, and empowering for anyone ready to take back control of their finances and future.

Topics include:
• Money habits formed in childhood• Financial stress and relationships• Wealth-building systems• Entrepreneur money patterns• Overspending and emotional triggers• Financial freedom for women• The connection between money and identity• Building confidence with money
