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 make more money than you used to, but somehow still feel behind financially, this episode is for you.
Maybe when you were younger and made less, you were more careful.
You paid attention.
You knew where your money was going.
You had a plan.
But as your income increased, you may have started feeling like you didn’t need to watch things as carefully anymore.
And now, even though you make good money, your savings, debt, investments, or net worth may not reflect the income you bring in.
In this episode, we’re talking about why making more money does not automatically create financial progress, and why your income needs clear direction if you want it to build wealth.
We’ll get into:
- Why your attention to money may decrease as your income increases.
- How lifestyle expansion can quietly keep you feeling behind.
- Why paying attention to your money is not the same as being restricted.
- The difference between managing money from fear and managing money with intention.
- Why a simple money system can help you enjoy your life and build wealth at the same time.
If you’ve ever thought, “I make too much money to still feel this behind,” this episode will help you see what may actually be happening.
Because the goal is not just to make more money.
The goal is to give your income direction so it can create the life, peace, savings, options, and wealth you actually want.
