202: The Art of Splurging with Michela Allocca from Break Your Budget
You’ve heard the warnings about overspending. But what if the real block to your wealth is… not spending enough? In this episode, I’m joined by Michela Allocca, the founder of Break Your Budget, to explore something rarely talked about in the financial world: the art of splurging. We dive deep into how spending more in the areas that light you up and less in the ones that you don’t isn't reckless, it's strategic. Inside the episode with Michela, we cover: How she shifted from chronic underspending to a relationship with money rooted in trust, pleasure, and abundance. Why underspending can be just as damaging as overspending—and how both come from the same scarcity-driven patterns. The mindset behind intentional splurging—and how to decide where your money creates the most value and joy. A behind-the-scenes look at Michela’s real-life “splurge strategy,” including where she spends with intention and where she consciously saves.

200: The 4 stories that keep you, your life, and your money stuck and small
If you’ve ever felt like you “should be further along by now” but can’t quite figure out why you keep spiraling back into the same patterns—this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking four sneaky stories that high-achieving women like you unknowingly carry—stories that keep your life, your money, and your potential small and stagnant. These aren’t just passing thoughts.They are power sentences that are driving the results you're able to create with your money and elsewhere. It's the self-talk that quietly drives your choices, your bank account, and your self-trust. We’re diving into: The “I’m bad at this” belief that shuts you down before you even try The “I can’t have that” story that makes you opt out of the life you secretly want The “It’s not working” loop that keeps you hopping from one quick fix to the next And the “I can’t handle this” pattern that leaves you outsourcing your power to purchases, panic, or procrastination This episode will help you name the narratives that have been running the show—so you can rewrite them with clarity, compassion, and power. It’s time to stop outsourcing your peace, your money, and your potential to outdated stories. Let’s shift the script.
