Becoming The Wealthy You | How to Save Money, Stop Overspending, Get Out of Debt, Budgeting & Personal Finance for Women
A personal finance podcast for women who make good money but still struggle with overspending, credit card debt, and/or saving money. This isn’t about strict budgets or deprivation, it’s about getting to the root of why money still feels hard even though you’re successful in other areas of your life. Hosted by Germaine Foley, the show focuses on mindset and building systems that actually work in real life.
If you’ve paid off debt before, grown your business, or made more money but still feel stuck, there’s nothing wrong with you. Overspending and financial stress aren’t a lack of discipline, they’re a sign that the strategies you were taught don’t fit your real life. This show helps you understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface so you can finally change it.
Each episode offers honest conversations, practical insights, and a new way to think about money that supports both your life now and your long-term goals. If you’re ready to stop stressing about money all the time and start moving forward, you’re in the right place.

172. How Social Media & Convenience Are Driving Your Overspending (The Social Spender & Convenience Spender)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever found yourself spending money because everyone around you is… or because it just feels easier in the moment, this episode is for you.
We’re talking about two sneaky spending patterns that don’t always look like a problem at first: the Social Spender and the Convenience Spender.
This is the kind of overspending that doesn’t feel dramatic. It feels normal. It feels justified. It feels like “it’s just this one time.” But over time, it adds up… and it’s often the reason your money isn’t going where you want it to.
In this episode, I break down:
- how social media and your environment influence your spending
- why comparison leads to overspending (even when you don’t realize it)
- how convenience spending shows up with things like food delivery and buy now, pay later
- why these habits feel small in the moment but turn into bigger financial patterns
If you’ve ever said yes to something just because everyone else was doing it…
or found yourself ordering out when you already had food at home…
or stacking up Klarna, Afterpay, or Affirm payments without really thinking about it…
this will help you see what’s actually going on.
Because this isn’t about willpower or discipline. It’s about patterns. And once you see them, you can start to change them.
If you’re ready to go deeper, I’m hosting a free Stop Overspending Masterclass where I’ll connect all of this and show you what actually needs to change so you can break the cycle for good.
