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 gotten a raise, bonus, new client contract, or any other increase in income and thought, “This is finally going to help me get ahead,” this episode is for you.
Because extra money can absolutely help you build wealth, pay down debt, save more, and create more breathing room.
But only if you decide ahead of time what that money is going to do.
In this short and actionable episode, we’re talking about the biggest financial mistake women make after getting a raise, and why it happens before the spending even starts.
We’ll get into:
- What to do before the extra money hits your account.
- How to think about raises, bonuses, client contracts, and windfalls.
- Why good intentions are not the same as a plan.
