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.

180. Why You Keep Falling Back Into Old Money Habits (Your Financial Thermostat Explained)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've ever paid off debt, built up your savings, gotten a bonus, or felt like you were finally getting ahead... only to find yourself right back in the same place a few months later, this episode is for you.
We're talking about a hidden pattern that keeps many women stuck financially, even when they're making good money and doing all the "right" things.
It's not a lack of discipline.
It's not because you're bad with money.
And it's not because you don't care about your future.
It may be because your financial thermostat keeps pulling you back to what's familiar.
In this episode, we're exploring why progress can feel temporary, why old money habits keep resurfacing, and what it really takes to create lasting change.
We'll get into:
- Why your brain prefers familiar financial patterns, even when they aren't serving you.
- The hidden reason you keep ending up back in debt, overspending, or starting over.
- Why knowing what to do with money isn't the same as doing it consistently.
- How your financial thermostat influences your spending habits, savings, and debt.
- The powerful question that can help you identify the pattern you keep repeating.
If you've ever thought:
"How am I back here again?"
Or:
"I make good money, so why does it feel like I'm always starting over?"
This episode will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface.
Because lasting financial change isn't just about changing the numbers.
It's about changing what feels normal.
And once your new habits, new behaviors, and new financial decisions start feeling normal, that's when real wealth building begins.
