    How to Stop Worrying About Money

    Money stress isn’t a personal failure—it’s a systems problem. In this episode, Lauren welcomes back Jesse Mecham, founder of You Need A Budget (YNAB), to unpack why so many high-achieving women still feel anxious about money—even when they’re earning more than ever. Jesse explains why the goal isn’t spending less, but spending with intention, and how a few mindset shifts can dramatically reduce money anxiety, decision fatigue, and guilt around spending. This conversation reframes budgeting as a tool for clarity, confidence, and actually enjoying your money again. You’ll learn: Why earning more doesn’t automatically reduce money stress—and what actually doesHow “giving every dollar a job” creates confidence and ends constant financial second-guessingWhat modern money tools (like Buy Now, Pay Later and AI automation) get wrong—and how to use tech without losing awareness or control Show Notes Weekly Newsletter Sign-Up: http://bit.ly/37hqtQW Jesse 2020 podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/4-rules-for-gaining-control-of-your-money-and/id1434354911?i=1000489700656 Guest Resources: YNAB app: https://www.ynab.com/ YNAB YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@YNABofficial  Career Contessa Resources Book 1:1 career coaching session: https://www.careercontessa.com/hire-a-mentor/ Take an online course: https://www.careercontessa.com/education/ Get your personalized salary report: https://www.careercontessa.com/the-salary-project/ Sponsors Head to cozyearth.com and use my code CONTESSA for up to 20% off.
