Ladies, if money talk makes your eyes glaze over... or you secretly worry you’re “bad” at it... this is THE episode for you.

I’m bringing in my girl Tess Smith, a financial educator who is the exact OPPOSITE of some stiff suit yelling on TV. (No jargon. No shame. No calculator required.)

She’s keeping it SIMPLE and real, because money stress is one of the biggest weights we all carry… especially in midlife. And Magic Makers, you deserve better than flying blind or feeling stuck.

In this fun conversation, we cover:

✅ Why “bougie broke” is keeping too many women trapped (good bye Stanley cup)

✅ The sneaky ways we’re held hostage by money beliefs

✅ How to build financial freedom, yes, even if you feel like its “too late”

✅ Why having a million bucks isn’t the only way to retire well

✅ What your 401k should actually be doing for you (and what Tess wishes every woman knew)

If you’ve ever said:

“I’m bad with money…”

“I missed the boat…”

“I’ll figure it out later…”

…it’s TIME to listen. This could change everything.
