Want to stop overspending without shame, restriction, or another “try harder” spiral? This episode is your permission slip to get organized in a way that actually feels nourishing.
In episode two of the Money Motivation Series, I’m breaking down overspending as emotional regulation and showing you how to create real nervous system safety with money, using a weekly spending account, simple tracking, and a system that meets both sides of your money blueprint: the practical (2nd house) and the emotional subconscious (8th house).
You’ll learn why this is not a willpower issue, how to give your money a job so it stops running your life, and the tools I use personally as a lifelong “spender” who’s committed to building a cash-positive future. If you’re ready to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of your spending in 2026, this is where we start.

WE EXPLORE
✧ Why overspending is often emotional regulation, not a discipline problem.
✧ Spender vs. Saver paradigm, and how to meet your money habits in the middle.
✧ 2nd house vs. 8th house money in astrology: practical systems vs. emotional patterns.
✧ Why “budgeting” can feel triggering and how a weekly spending account creates freedom.
✧ How to set up a weekly spending account (and what to track each week).
✧ My 3-category tracking method: groceries, eating out, miscellaneous.
✧ The hidden cost of money avoidance and how it compounds over time.
✧ Sinking funds: how to plan for predictable expenses without using debt.
✧ Living cash-based, why I chose it, and what it revealed about my patterns.
✧ “Give your money a job or it will give you a job,” and how to apply that immediately.

In today’s episode, I’m kicking off the Money Motivation Series with a conversation I wish every woman had before (or during) a relationship transition: women, breakups, and money. Because when your heart is already processing grief, uncertainty, and major identity shifts, the last thing you need is to be spiraling about your finances too.
I’m walking you through the foundational pillars of financial self leadership, including why knowing your numbers creates emotional steadiness, how to assess your real earning capacity, and the mindset shift that moves you from need to desire to choice so you can make decisions from sovereignty, not survival.
If you’re contemplating a separation, navigating divorce, rebuilding after a breakup, or you simply want to feel more anchored in your financial reality, this episode is your reminder: you cannot out-earn a money avoidance problem. But you can absolutely build a clearer, calmer, more mature relationship with your money, one simple step at a time.

WE EXPLORE
 ✧ Why money clarity cultivates nervous system safety during major transitions.
 ✧ The first step to financial self leadership: tracking what comes in and what goes out.
 ✧ How to separate personal vs. business expenses for clean, empowering decision-making.
 ✧ The truth about earning capacity, and why it is always expandable.
 ✧ Money as energy: what it means to “hold more” without self-sabotage.
 ✧ The Need, Desire, Choice paradigm and how it changes everything in relationships.
 ✧ Why you cannot out earn money avoidance, and what to do instead.
 ✧ How financial organization creates the power of choice when life gets emotionally intense.

FREE LIVE EVENT
I’m hosting a Live Money Up Level Class + Enrollment Party on February 3 inside of MWMM.

I’m here to extend an invitation I know a lot of women struggle with: giving yourself the permission to disappoint. As women, we are taught to always be palatable, even at the expense of our own autonomy or desires. Today’s conversation will open your eyes to reinvention, self ownership, identity, and desire as a spiritual tool for healing and transformation. I share powerful ways to honor and embrace new self identity, regardless of societal expectations or disappointment, and step into total ownership of who you are and how far you’ve come.

I also break down the fears I know hold so many of us back, whether it’s the fear of not being liked, not being accepted, or the fear of allowing ourselves to desire. These fears keep us small, but when we tap into + own our deepest desires, that’s when real magic happens.

This is your time to honor yourself, take ownership of want you want and who you’re meant to be, and stop fearing disappointment from the things that were never meant to serve you!

WE EXPLORE
 ✧ Why giving yourself the permission to disappoint is your power.
 ✧ Honoring the self, ego, and other with the Aries-Libra axis.
 ✧ How to own your most audacious self outside of societal expectations.
 ✧ The inner work it takes to reinvent + embrace your self identity as a woman.
 ✧ What it looks like to operate in need versus desire.
 ✧ The most powerful way to own your deepest desires.

If you’ve ever stayed in a relationship because you weren’t sure you could make it on your own financially, I promise you, you can create not just security but limitless abundance. Today, I’m sharing my very real, very tender “year after divorce” update through the lens of money, worth, and spiritual rebirth. We dive into what it looks like to rebuild your life after a breakup or divorce, not just emotionally and spiritually, but in the very practical sense of knowing how to generate, organize, and steward your own money as a woman.

I walk you through the grief, healing, and identity shifts I’ve moved through since my separation, what I’ve learned about discernment in relationships, and why being able to financially care for yourself is one of the most empowering spiritual practices you can have. Plus, we get into money mechanics: how to begin generating on your own, get financially organized post-divorce or breakup, and how your astrology (especially Venus & Jupiter) can support your unique way of creating abundance.

Let's talk about the patterns that keep us in misaligned partnerships, how to recognize when something is truly complete, and why learning to love your own company is a massive wealth portal.

WE EXPLORE
✧ Rebirth after divorce: what my first year post-separation has really looked like.
✧ How grief (death, divorce, identity shifts) can become a portal into emotional & spiritual maturity.
✧ The moment I realized I actually enjoy my own company and how that changed my relationship with money.
✧ How women’s financial dependence can keep us in misaligned relationships (and what it means to reclaim your power to generate.)
✧ Practical money foundations after divorce or breakup: organizing your accounts, tracking, and building a cushion.
✧ Using your Venus & Jupiter placements to understand your unique way of attracting and generating wealth.
✧ The difference between a hard season in a relationship and a true deal-breaker your body is trying to tell you about.
✧ Why wishing well for past partners (and friends) is a powerful spiritual wealth practice.

I also shed some light on what place I believe AI has in our future and why it’ll never replicate or replace the human spirit. Most of all, I want to leave you with some powerful ChatGPT prompts you can use to support you in your astrological journey.

WE EXPLORE
 ✧ Where AI has a place in astrology + how to use it responsibly.
 ✧ How I utilize the power of AI in a thoughtful way.
 ✧ The mastermind that shifted my perspective on AI.
 ✧ What role AI will play in our future (+ why it will never replace humanity).
