Let’s talk about something that too many women struggle with—feeling guilty for wanting financial security. If you’ve ever hesitated to negotiate, felt like you’re constantly over-giving, or tied your self-worth to your bank account, this episode is for you.

I’m sitting down with Jacqueline Twillie, CEO of ZeroGap and author of Dear Resilient Leader and Don't Leave Money on the Table, to unpack the deep emotional and societal forces that shape how we think about money. We’re diving into childhood money lessons, the pressure to put everyone else first, and why so many women feel like there’s never enough—even when they’re earning more than ever.

Here’s what we’re getting into:

Why you keep feeling like money is never enough
The hidden power of negotiation (and why most women avoid it)
How to finally shift from a scarcity mindset to abundance
Why financial stability is NOT selfish—it’s necessary

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of over-giving and under-prioritizing yourself, this episode is going to change the way you think about money.
