  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Money shouldn’t feel this overwhelming — especially when you’re doing everything “right.” Money & Legacy is a financial clarity podcast for capable, high-functioning families who make good money but still feel stressed, uncertain, or stuck when it comes to their finances. Hosted by Laura Sexton, Money & Legacy Coach and founder of Accelerate Your Legacy, this podcast helps families move from financial overwhelm to clarity — and from clarity to confidence — so they can build a legacy on purpose. Many families today aren’t struggling because they lack income.They’re struggling because they’re drowning in information. Between podcasts, gurus, social media advice, and conflicting opinions, it’s easy to feel frozen — unsure who to trust, which system to follow, or what step actually matters next. When everything feels important, progress stalls. This show exists to quiet the noise. Think of Money & Legacy like a conversation with a trusted friend over coffee — where big financial ideas are distilled, simplified, and made tangible for real life with kids, schedules, faith, and long-term goals. Laura brings both lived experience and professional training to the mic. She and her husband paid off $372,347 in debt, and for more than five years she has coached hundreds of families to gain clarity, reduce financial stress, and move forward with confidence. Laura is trained in the Dave Ramsey principles of budgeting and debt elimination, as well as Ken Coleman’s clarity-driven approach to decision-making and purpose. Her coaching style is forward-focused, practical, and intentionally impartial — she does not sell financial products or earn commissions — so every recommendation is made solely in her clients’ best interest. Most episodes are solo teaching conversations, designed to help you: Cut through financial overwhelm and gain clarityBuild a budget that gives permission, not pressurePay off debt with confidence and directionMake calm, values-aligned money decisionsCreate simple systems that work for real family lifeLead money conversations with confidence at home Occasionally, Laura brings real families onto the show for coaching conversations, where listeners can hear real questions, real numbers, and real breakthroughs — and yes, you can apply to be coached on the show. Select interviews with thoughtful leaders also support listeners on their financial journey without shame or conflicting advice. At its core, Money & Legacy is about transformation. This podcast helps you move from: Overwhelm → Clarity → Confidence From reaction to ownership. From stress to peace. From survival to legacy. As you keep listening, money will feel calmer.Your goals will feel clearer.And your confidence will grow as you lead your finances with intention. If you’re ready for money to feel simpler, lighter, and aligned with the life you’re building, you’re in the right place.

    178. Why Group Coaching Creates Real Change

    We’re living in a trust recession. People are unsubscribing, deleting courses, and drowning in information—yet nothing is changing. The problem isn’t motivation or discipline. It’s isolation. In this episode, I explain why group coaching creates real change when doing it alone doesn’t. We’ll talk about why information without accountability leads to paralysis, why most courses get abandoned, and why real momentum rarely happens in isolation. If you’ve tried to get your money under control on your own and keep stalling out, this episode will help you understand why—and what actually works instead. You don’t need another idea. You need movement. And movement happens best in relationship. Learn more about working with Laura Sexton . Join the Facebook group Legacy Builders Network. · Become a master with your money.

    177. Why Comfort Is Keeping You Stuck (and how to get ahead)

    Comfort feels safe—but it may be the very thing keeping you stuck. In this episode, Laura Sexton challenges the belief that comfort equals security and explains why staying financially comfortable often leads to stress, stagnation, and quiet dissatisfaction. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing all the right things” but still not moving forward, this conversation will put words to that feeling—and show you a better way. Laura shares her family’s story of choosing years of intentional financial discomfort to build long-term peace, flexibility, and freedom. You’ll learn why growth doesn’t live in the comfort zone, how unconscious spending keeps you trapped, and why using other people’s money disconnects you from your future. This episode also includes a simple but powerful 30-day challenge that can immediately shift how you spend, decide, and lead your finances. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why comfort is not the same as contentment or safetyHow financial comfort can quietly cause anxiety and stagnationThe difference between unconscious spending and intentional ownershipWhy “normal” money habits are keeping most people stressed and stuckOne financially uncomfortable action that can change everything in 30 daysIf you’re ready to stop languishing, start growing, and take ownership of your financial future, this episode is for you.

    175. Quiet Money: Letting Peace, Purpose, and Legacy Be Enough This Christmas

    The day after Christmas doesn’t need a plan—it needs permission to breathe. In this quiet, reflective episode, Laura invites you to pause, exhale, and receive what this season is offering without urgency or pressure. If this year didn’t end the way you expected—or if money suddenly felt small compared to what truly mattered—you’re not behind. You’re human. From walking through uncertainty and change, to celebrating the completion of her first children’s book Rosie Earns It Herself, Laura shares why financial peace isn’t built through reacting or rushing, but through identity, ownership, and small moments lived with intention. This episode is about quiet money—the kind rooted in awareness, generosity, and becoming, not buying. There’s no audit today. No reset. No next step required. Just stillness, gratitude, and the reminder that some of the most important parts of today weren’t purchased—they were experienced. 🎧 Take a slow breath. Let today be enough.

    173. What Is “Enough”? How Identity, Not Income, Stops Overspending and Creates Financial Peace

    Have you ever found yourself spending—not because you needed something, but because you were trying to feel something?

If you’re smart, capable, and earning good money but still feel financial pressure, this conversation will bring clarity, calm, and a new way forward.

This is an invitation to lead your money with intention, grounded identity, and legacy-level clarity. In this episode you’ll learn: Why overspending is often emotional avoidance—not a budgeting failureHow identity drives financial behavior (and why discipline alone leads to burnout)What “enough” actually looks like when money is aligned with your valuesThe difference between acting as a consumer versus leading as a stewardSimple, practical ways to set holiday spending boundaries without guilt or shameYou don’t need more willpower—and you don’t need more stuff.
