Episode Summary In this intimate premiere episode of the Permission Series, ADHD Money Coach Bee takes the vulnerable step of becoming the first guest, interviewed by her sister Kim.

In this intimate series premiere, your host breaks her silence about how being a financial expert didn’t protect her from hitting rock bottom in 2020-2024. Through vulnerable storytelling, she challenges our assumptions about who gets to be a guide and what healing really looks like. Key Moments “From the outside, I was ‘qualified.’ An Accredited Financial Counselor. Business owner. The one people came to for answers… But inside? I was in pain.” “Your setbacks don’t disqualify you. Your struggles don’t silence your wisdom. Your wounds… they become your witness.” Core Theme: Permission This episode introduces the concept of permission—permission to be imperfect, to start anyway, and to heal out loud. It explores how our stories, especially the ones we hide, might be exactly what someone else needs to hear to begin their own healing journey. What You’ll Discover ​Why every spreadsheet has a story behind it​How professional expertise and personal struggles can coexist​The unexpected connection between financial patterns and emotional healing​Why vulnerability might be the key to breaking generational financial cycles Action Step If you’re holding a story that feels too heavy, if you’re tired of carrying shame in silence, or if you’re ready to turn your mess into your message—DM “permission” to join this healing journey.
