Your host Aimee Cerka, Money Confidence Coach, blends practical financial strategies with deep mindset work and emotional regulation, empowering you to make confident financial decisions and break free from financial overwhelm. Whether you’re just starting out in entrepreneurship, managing your cash flow, or focusing on business growth, this show is for you. Aimee’s mission is to help you move from financial stress to clarity, guiding you on how to align your budget, your money mindset and your energy with money, so you can reduce stress and gain financial confidence.

Each episode will help you simplify your finances, expose limiting beliefs, and create actionable steps for lasting financial peace and empowerment. Your finances don’t have to be a source of stress.
