EP 30: Are Your New Year Money Goals Making You Poorer?

New year. New goals. Same financial stress.

If you earn good money but still feel like you’re playing catch-up, dipping into savings, or repeating the same feast-and-famine cycle every year, this episode is for you.

In this first episode back for 2026, I’m breaking down why traditional New Year financial goals often backfire for high-earning women,  and how setting goals the wrong way can actually reinforce scarcity, overspending, and self-sabotage.

I answer real interview-style questions around savings goals, money leaks, identity shifts, and why earning more money is not the solution you think it is. We talk about unconscious spending behaviours, why “save more, spend less” keeps you stuck, and how to finally get ahead without burnout, restriction, or another disappointing January reset.

This episode is about clarity, responsibility, and upgrading the woman behind the money,  so 2026 becomes your richest year yet.
