Seeing Through The Money Fog: Unlocking Financial Confidence, Clarity, And Control With Mikelann Valterra Brave Women at Work

    • Careers

I’m excited to share that we have a repeat guest today! Mikelann Valterra, a money coach, and more specifically the Seattle Money Coach is back on Brave Women at Work.
 
We’ve had a few shows on money lately. I think that is because, at the beginning of the year, we are thinking about our money. According to an article in USA Today, the top resolution in 2024 is to save more money, especially with inflation and how expensive our cost of living is today.
 
If you enjoy this conversation, and I’m sure you will, I also encourage you to go back into the Brave Women at Work vault and listen to episode 107. During that show, we touched on the money fog. Now that Mikelann has written an entire book on the subject, we dive much deeper into the topic in this conversation.
 
During my chat with Mikelann, we covered:
Her book, Rise Above the Money Fog, The Key to Confidence, Clarity, and Control Over Your LifeWe dove deep into what the money fog is and where it comes from (hint, hint, it’s childhood)The money stories we inherit from our familiesHow trauma and even so-called perfect families can leave a mark when it comes to how we manage our moneyHow we can start to overcome our money stories and build a better relationship with moneyWe chat about money traps such as overspending, underearning, and even over-earning or golden handcuffsAnd we round out our conversation with the concept of receptive surrender, which was fascinating.
