Because your money story could change everything Let's be honest – we all stress about money, but nobody actually talks about it. Until now. I'm Tracy, and my passion for financial independence started young, watching my mum skip meals because she wasn't given enough money to feed herself as well as my brother and me.  That moment shaped everything and gave me a fierce determination to never need to rely on anyone for money. This isn't your typical "look how successful I am" business podcast. These are real, honest conversations with real people about their messy, imperfect money journeys – the struggles, the breakthroughs, the setbacks, and what financial independence actually means to them. What you'll get:• Judgment-free conversations about money (revolutionary, I know!)• Real stories from people still figuring it out AND those who've found their groove• The messy bits alongside the victories (because that's real life)• Proof that you're not failing – you're just human Perfect for you if:• You've ever stressed about money (haven't we all?!)• You're tired of perfect success stories that don't feel real• You want to feel less alone in your financial journey• You believe everyone deserves financial dignity and choice No flashy social media version of success here – just the real, practical kind that means never feeling powerless about money again. From Tracy Irwin, Time Freedom Alchemist – helping you realise your money story matters, and you're definitely not alone in this.

    Money Talks: Financial Independence chats with Tracy Irwin - Episode Twenty Two Dayle Adams

    What if money isn't just a number — but an energy you've been unconsciously blocking your whole life? International psychic medium Dayle Adams joins Tracy for one of the most thought-provoking conversations on the podcast yet. This isn't a conversation about woo-woo theories — it's a raw, honest look at why so many of us self-sabotage with money, and what it actually takes to break free.

    Money Talks: Financial Independence chats with Tracy Irwin - Episode Nineteen Steve Lees

    No qualifications, a chip on his shoulder, and a call centre job. Steve Lees, better known as Frankie Grit, went on to sit in boardrooms, become a partner at a law firm, and run medium-sized businesses as chief exec.

    Real talk about trauma, money stories, and what “success” looks like when your nervous system is still stuck in survival mode with clinical psychologist and high performance coach, Adina Petre.

About

Because your money story could change everything Let's be honest – we all stress about money, but nobody actually talks about it. Until now. I'm Tracy, and my passion for financial independence started young, watching my mum skip meals because she wasn't given enough money to feed herself as well as my brother and me.  That moment shaped everything and gave me a fierce determination to never need to rely on anyone for money. This isn't your typical "look how successful I am" business podcast. These are real, honest conversations with real people about their messy, imperfect money journeys – the struggles, the breakthroughs, the setbacks, and what financial independence actually means to them. What you'll get:• Judgment-free conversations about money (revolutionary, I know!)• Real stories from people still figuring it out AND those who've found their groove• The messy bits alongside the victories (because that's real life)• Proof that you're not failing – you're just human Perfect for you if:• You've ever stressed about money (haven't we all?!)• You're tired of perfect success stories that don't feel real• You want to feel less alone in your financial journey• You believe everyone deserves financial dignity and choice No flashy social media version of success here – just the real, practical kind that means never feeling powerless about money again. From Tracy Irwin, Time Freedom Alchemist – helping you realise your money story matters, and you're definitely not alone in this.
