    Ep. 27 Money Tips For Single Moms

    Money hits different when you’re a single mom. There’s no backup account, no one to split the mental math with, and no margin for “I’ll deal with it later.” If you’ve ever avoided your bank app because it felt like a hundred tiny steps, or found yourself impulse-buying at the end of a brutal day, this conversation is for you. We sit down with Sherry Andrew of Money Mindset Financial Coaching and get real about relationships and divorce finances. Sherry explains the biggest mistake many women make by not being involved in household money, what financial independence can actually look like (even when you share a life with someone), and why having your own decision-making power can be protective and freeing. Then we move into practical, ADHD-friendly strategies like payday automation, separating spending money from bill money, and prioritizing essentials first when you’re rebuilding. Key Topics Know Your Income and Expenses: Knowing where your money comes from and where it goes is the first step toward effective budgeting.Finances Pre and Post divorce: Strategizing for the future is key.Automation and scheduling apps to pay bills is one way to keep off your plate as a busy mom.About Sherry After being fired from a nearly 17-year career, Sherry took a leap of faith to pursue her passion for personal finance and launched Money Mindset Financial Coaching in 2018. After her job loss, she discovered her love for personal finance by learning everything she could to improve her household finances. Now, she helps others make significant shifts with their money. After learning that she has ADHD, she pivoted her business focus to assist individuals and entrepreneurs with ADHD in gaining confidence and clarity with their finances by building and implementing systems that simplify their lives. She enjoys working with ADHD entrepreneurs because the added complexity of self-employment presents extra challenges, while also providing greater opportunities for increased income! Her clients save, pay off debt, and achieve their financial goals while still living their lives! She believes that the path to your financial goals doesn’t include a restrictive budget, but comes by focusing on what is important to you and building systems that align with how your brain works! She is an Accredited Financial Counsellor Canada® and a Certified Professional Financial Coach™ who helps clients feel confident about managing their money.

    Ep. 26 Single Mom, Real Talk

    Someone tells a single mom to “just relax” and it sounds harmless, until you’ve lived the day she’s living. I sit down with Veronica, a California single mother raising a 15-year-old and the host of Stop Telling Me to Relax, to name what actually sits on our plates: the schedules, the bills, the loneliness, the identity shifts, and the pressure to look fine while we’re doing the work of two people.

    Ep. 25 We’re Accidentally Training Men How to Treat Us

    You know that feeling when someone gives you just enough attention to keep you hooked, then disappears long enough to make you spiral? We’re not calling it fate, bad luck, or Mercury retrograde.

    Ep. 24 She Moved In With A Man And His Kids To Save Money......Would You?

    She didn’t “manifest” her way out of this. She made a plan, took a second job, faced the numbers, and made a housing choice that sounded a little unhinged on purpose because survival sometimes is.

    Ep. 23 What Men Don’t Tell You About Dating… Until They Become Husbands

    He went from swiping and “seeing where it goes” to choosing a wife and building a life he actually wants, and we press him on every detail. Richard joins me for a no-filter breakdown of what changes when a man is serious, what “the it factor” really is, and why trying to force a fit can waste years. If you’ve ever asked “Why her?” or “What do men mean when they say they’re not ready?” this conversation gives you the clearest answer: listen to the words, then watch the choices. Key Takeaways Take time to heal after a breakup.  Use dating apps wisely, understanding that users may have different intentions.  Clear communication is key to successful relationships.  Seek partners who align with your values and long-term goals.About Richard Dodds Richard is a creative producer, podcast host, husband, father, and the founder of Crowned Culture Media.

    Ep. 22 | Why Do We Stay When We Know It’s Trash

    Sometimes the most painful part of a relationship ending isn’t the ending. It’s the moment you realize you knew something was wrong for a long time and you kept going anyway. I’m solo today, getting brutally honest about the “illusion of not knowing,” why we ignore relationship red flags, and how we talk ourselves into staying when our gut is already screaming. A story from an Oprah interview lights the fuse: a wife describes being shocked by her husband’s affair, and I can’t help but challenge the idea that it came out of nowhere. We unpack what it looks like when a relationship feels fine on the surface but your nervous system says otherwise. Anxiety, dread, stomach issues, brain fog, and that constant sense of being on edge can be your body keeping score, warning you that something is unsafe or untrue even if you can’t “prove” it yet. Then we go straight into the good girl conditioning so many women carry: be nice, don’t make waves, keep the peace, be the bigger person. I talk about how that training can erase anger, mute boundaries, and even let someone off the hook for real harm. We also dig into the fear layer, especially for moms. The fear of divorce, the fear of being a single mother, the fear of starting over can turn a partnership into a transaction that costs you your health and your self-respect. If any of this hits close to home, I want you to leave with one question: what are you going to do with what you already know? Subscribe for part two, share this with someone who needs it, and please leave a review so more people can find the show. Key Takeaways from Personal Experience Reflecting on my past relationships, I’ve realized that recognizing the signs of a failing relationship often requires honesty with oneself.  Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, don’t dismiss it. Your intuition is a powerful tool.Communicate Openly: Don’t be afraid to voice your concerns. Open communication can prevent issues from escalating.Prioritize Your Well-Being: Your mental and emotional health should always come first. If a relationship is causing distress, it’s time to reevaluate your choices.Connect w/ Me: All links below to follow me and subscribe to the show!

    Ep. 21 Bad Sex, Fake Orgasms & The Lies We Keep

    Most of us were handed a fake script for sex: quick penetration, instant fireworks, and zero conversation. Then real life happens and suddenly people feel “broken” when their bodies don’t match the movies. We’re done with that. I sit down with Tamilynn Edwards, an American Board Certified Clinical Sexologist and Sex Coach, to get painfully honest about women’s pleasure, the female orgasm, and why clitoral stimulation is often the missing link. Key Takeaways Understanding Anatomy: Female anatomy is complex, and many women do not reach orgasm through penetration alone. Context Matters: Factors such as emotional connection, stress, and physical health impact sexual pleasure.Communication is Key: Open discussions about desires and preferences can enhance intimacy and satisfaction in relationships.Self-Exploration: Women should embrace self-pleasure as a way to understand their bodies better.About Tamilynn Tamilynn Edwards is an American Board Certified Clinical Sexologist and Sex Coach and the founder of Sensuality Coach Clinic. Her work didn’t begin in a classroom it began in conversation. After years of witnessing women quietly struggle with body changes, shifting desire, resentment in long-term relationships, and the silent shame that often accompanies menopause, Tamilynn realized something was deeply missing in the way we talk about sexual health. Too many women were being told “it’s normal,” “it’s just stress,” or “that’s what happens with age” and then left to navigate it alone. At one point, she saw how easy it is to lose yourself inside the roles we carry partner, mother, professional, caregiver and how hard it can be to reconnect with your sensual self once you’ve been surviving for years. That realization became a turning point. She understood that what many women label as “low libido” is often exhaustion, disconnection, hormonal change, or a loss of identity. Today, Tamilynn helps women single, partnered, married, divorced rebuild confidence in their bodies, communicate their needs without guilt, and redefine intimacy in a way that feels aligned with who they are now, not who they were ten years ago. Her approach blends clinical education with grounded, honest conversation. Because sexual health is not a luxury  it’s part of feeling whole. And no woman should feel broken for evolving.
