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.

If you’ve ever found yourself spending money out of boredom, stress, or just because you felt like it… and then later wondering where your money went, this episode is for you.
We’re breaking down what’s really going on when you keep overspending, even though you make good money and know better. This isn’t a discipline issue. It’s a pattern, and once you see it, things start to click.
In this episode, I’m talking about emotional spending and why it can feel like spending is helping in the moment… but is actually keeping you stuck in the same cycle.
We’ll get into:
- why overspending can feel automatic
- how emotional spending is driving your habits
- why the cycle of “spend, feel better, repeat” keeps happening
- what’s actually going on underneath it all
If you’ve ever paid off credit card debt, made more money, or told yourself you’re going to do better… and still end up right back in the same place, this will help you understand why.
And once you understand it, you can start to change it.
