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 known what you should do with money… but still found yourself overspending, avoiding your finances, or falling back into old habits, this episode is for you.
We’re talking about why building wealth can feel so hard, even for smart, capable women who make good money and genuinely want to change.
This episode breaks down the hidden battle happening in your brain between immediate comfort and long-term wealth building, and why so many financial habits feel automatic.
We’ll get into:
- Why your brain prefers familiar financial patterns, even when they aren’t helping you.
- The reason overspending and emotional spending can feel almost automatic.
- Why saving money, paying off debt, and building wealth often feel uncomfortable at first.
- How small money habits and spending patterns quietly shape your financial life over time.
- Why becoming more intentional with money matters more than being perfect.
If you’ve ever said:
“I’ll start next month.”
“One more thing won’t hurt.”
or:
“I just want to feel better…” this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening underneath those moments.
Because this isn’t about a lack of discipline.
It’s about learning how to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it.
And once you become more aware of your patterns, urges, and emotional habits around money, you can start making decisions that actually support the life and future you want to build.
If you’re ready to stop operating in survival mode and start building wealth more intentionally, this is exactly the work I do with my clients.
