What if it's the relationship you have with money? In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the story I've never told in this much detail from filing bankruptcy at 22 as a single mom to paying off over $100,000 of debt in just six months and retiring from my 30-year career with the Social Security Administration two and a half years early. For years, I believed I wasn't good with money. I worked multiple jobs. I taught personal finance. I helped others manage their money. Yet I was trapped in a cycle of debt that kept repeating itself. Everything changed when I stopped trying to fix my finances and started healing my relationship with money. In this episode you'll discover: • Why earning more money didn't solve my financial stress • The hidden emotional patterns that kept me recreating debt • How my Money Multiplier System™ was born • Why restrictive budgets never worked for me • The simple Money Map that finally gave every dollar a purpose • How aromatherapy and nervous system work accelerated my financial transformation • The debt payoff strategy that helped me eliminate $100,000 in six months • Why confidence—not income—is the foundation of wealth If you're making good money but still wondering where it all goes... If you're tired of feeling guilty every time you spend... If you've ever thought, "I'm just not good with money"... This episode is for you.

In this episode of iDateMoney®️, Lisa sits down with executive coach and author Stephanie Peirolo for a powerful conversation about money stories, decision-making, divorce, debt, burnout, and what it really takes to build financial stability as a woman. Stephanie shares how childhood scarcity, gender roles, single motherhood, and financial shame shaped her relationship with money, and how she eventually rebuilt financial security while learning to make decisions from alignment instead of panic. Together, Lisa and Stephanie unpack why messy money is rarely just a math problem. It is often tied to the stories we inherited about work, worth, success, and what women are allowed to have. They also talk about the pressure to overwork, the cost of financial instability after divorce, and why women need to stop sacrificing their own financial well-being to rescue everyone else. About our guest: Stephanie Peirolo is a board-certified executive coach, author of The Saint and the Drunk, and host of The Bad Boss Brief. She helps leaders make intentional decisions, lead with clarity, and build lives that align with their values.
