Why Money Podcasts Don’t Fix Money Problems
You swore this would be the year you finally felt on top of your money.
But here you are—lying awake at 2 a.m., staring at the ceiling, wondering how you’re going to cover that $800 surprise vet bill.
Because your savings account?
It’s sitting at zero.
And despite all the effort you’ve put in—the podcasts, the budgeting apps, the financial books stacked on your nightstand—you still feel stuck.
You feel like you’re doing “okay,” but deep down, you feel like you’re going nowhere really.
Money is just flowing through your accounts, without you able to retain any savings.
You wonder why it’s so hard.
You’re trying. You care.
But here’s the thing no one tells you:
More information isn’t the answer.
Because podcasts, books, and YouTube videos don’t know you.
They don’t know your money situation, your blind spots, or what’s keeping you stuck.
And they can’t walk beside you when life throws something unexpected your way.
People don’t come to me because they couldn’t find information about budgeting and finances. That’s everywhere.
They come because they don’t know how to apply all that information to themselves.
They come asking:
Which parts of this actually matter for me?
How do I stop second-guessing myself?
How do I make good decisions with the money I have?
They realize that working with a professional will get them farther along than they are getting on their own.
In financial coaching, we go through your numbers to get a clear picture of where you are today.
I know how hard this part can feel.
Clients have told me they were afraid to look.
They felt ashamed.
They were afraid they’d be judged for the state of their finances.
Let me put those fears to rest.
Every single client has told me afterward things like:
“The fear of being judged just melted away when we met.”
“It was such a relief to finally get things out in the open.”
”I feel aware for the first time ever.”
“I thought it would be depressing—and it turned out to be really empowering.”
Financial coaching can make the difference between just having information… and actually being successful with money.
This is what happened when one client finally stopped trying to figure it all out alone:
“I spent 30 years trapped in cycles of debt and overspending. Investing in the Money Mastery program was the best gift I’ve ever given myself. Debbie’s kindness and compassion transformed my financial life.”
I'd love the same for you.
If you’re struggling to put it all together—if you want this to be the year you finally make some real progress—schedule a call.
It’s free, low-key, non-judgmental, and friendly. See what coaching could do for you. You’ve got nothing to lose - and everything to gain.
