About this episode

If you've been feeling stuck, scared, or straight-up pissed about money lately — this one's for you.


According to a new LinkedIn Workforce Confidence survey, Americans are less confident about their financial future than they were in 2020. Yep, lower than the panic-buying, banana-bread-baking era of the pandemic.


In this episode, I break down why your financial confidence is tanking (spoiler: it’s not just you), what’s actually going on behind the scenes, and the real, practical things you can do this week to take your power back — without budgeting yourself into oblivion.


We’re talking emotional burnout, job market instability, AI-induced panic, and the sneaky ways financial trauma is still messing with your decision-making. But more importantly, we’re talking solutions — bold, doable, no-BS strategies to rebuild confidence, reclaim control, and move forward.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why financial confidence is at a record low (and why that matters)
  • How fear is silently shaping your money moves
  • 5 practical steps to start rebuilding confidence today
  • The one tiny money goal you can hit this week to feel back in charge
  • Why your nervous system and your bank account need a plan
