On this episode of The Get Ready Before Life Happens Podcast, I spoke with Meghan Dwyer, CFP®, Certified Money Coach®, and host of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast, about why money isn’t scary when you understand your money story and build confidence. 

Key Takeaways:

🔹 Stories are not facts, you get to choose what you believe. 

🔹 We are allowed to have knowledge and power with our money, we don’t need permission

🔹 Naming shame takes away its power and helps you move forward.

🔹 Create a more intentional way of doing things, in accordance with your values

🔹 Expecting yourself to balance everything isn’t possible, we need to know when to ask for help

🔹 What we perceive as failure is actually learning

🔹 Women who step into abundance gain confidence
