If you've ever sworn you'd meal plan this week and then hit 5pm exhausted and ordered takeout again... or said yes to one more commitment because saying no felt impossible... this episode is for you. I'm talking with my friend Valerie Recore, a productivity coach for moms, about something we don't talk about enough: the connection between overwhelm and overspending. We dig into why "doing it all" - as a mom, in your career, in life - quietly drains your bank account through convenience spending. The takeout you didn't plan for. The subscription you signed up for because you were too tired to figure out another solution. The money that leaks out when you're just trying to survive the day. We also talk about saying yes to the right things and no to everything else - and why that skill matters just as much for your money as it does for your time. This isn't a typical money conversation. It's about the overwhelm underneath the overspending, and how getting a handle on one helps you get a handle on the other. This episode is for you if: You feel like you're always "on" and never catching up You've noticed you spend more when you're overwhelmed or exhausted You say yes to things you don't have room for (and then feel resentful or drained) You want to feel less scattered - in your time AND your money You're a mom trying to do it all and wondering why it feels so hard (and expensive) You'll learn: Why overwhelm leads to convenience spending (and how to catch it before it happens) How to start saying no without the guilt Valerie's approach to prioritizing what actually matters Practical ways to create more breathing room in your day - which creates more breathing room in your bank account too Connect with Valerie: https://www.instagram.com/strideproductivity https://strideproductivity.com/ Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
I'm back! After a summer break, I'm easing back into the podcast with one of my favorite topics: fun money and how it fits into debt payoff. A lot of people think paying off debt means cutting out everything fun for years - but that's not how I've done it, and it's not how my clients do it either. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how Scott and I handle fun money in our marriage - how much, how it's split, and what I actually spend mine on. Plus, I'm giving you a preview of what's coming: two interviews I'm excited to share (with my friends Valerie Recore and Morgan Brophy), and in a few weeks, I'll be back with the real, unfiltered breakdown of exactly how I spent my fun money in September. You'll learn: Why fun money is a key part of a sustainable debt payoff plan How Scott and I split fun money equally and keep it separate What I actually spend my fun money on What's coming next on the podcast (two interviews + my September fun money breakdown) Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
Did you miss this episode last year? It was one of the most downloaded episodes pf 2025 and I want YOU to hear it! Episode Description: The journey from money chaos to money confidence isn't a straight line - it happens in stages. And understanding exactly where you are can help you focus on what you actually need next. Fresh off our 3-Day Money Reset Challenge, I'm sharing the 5 stages every woman moves through on her path to financial confidence: You'll discover: Stage 1: Money Avoidance (and why looking is always better than not looking) Stage 2: Money Awareness (when you have information but don't know what to do with it) Stage 3: Money Management (systems that work most of the time but you still second-guess decisions) Stage 4: Money Confidence (frameworks that work automatically without guilt or stress) Stage 5: Money Mastery (using money strategically to build wealth and create impact) Plus, why these stages aren't linear, why you can't skip the foundation-building that happens early on, and how to identify exactly where you are right now. Most women get stuck between Stages 2 and 3. They manage their money okay but never feel truly secure about their financial choices. What if 2025 was the year you moved to Stage 4? Ready to move beyond money management to true money confidence?

Summer is almost here - which means camps, vacations, pool passes, weddings, and approximately seven thousand ice cream shop runs. If you're not careful, you'll hit September wondering why your credit card balance went up $2,000. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to plan for summer WITHOUT going into debt. We're brain dumping all the expenses, adding them up, figuring out what you can actually afford, and making choices NOW instead of scrambling later. Summer can be fun. You just need a plan. You'll learn: Why summer spending sneaks up on you every single year How to brain dump and price out EVERYTHING summer might cost The difference between what summer could cost and what you can afford How to make choices now (not in July when you're already over budget) Why planning for "summer fun money" matters How to have a great summer without credit card debt Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
It's May. Spring cleaning mode is real. But you know what else needs a good spring cleaning? Your money. In this episode, I'm walking you through a financial spring cleaning checklist: canceling forgotten subscriptions, reviewing autopay bills, checking your sinking fund, and planning for summer. Plus, how to declutter your house AND make money doing it. Grab a coffee and let's clean up your money.

This is Part 5 - the final episode - of our 5-part series on breaking up with credit cards and paying off debt. Yes, debt payoff is slow. But it doesn't have to be miserable. In this episode, I'm talking about how to make debt payoff sustainable - including money in your plan for things you actually love, celebrating every win (not just the finish line), and trusting that your system is WORKING even when progress feels slow. This isn't about deprivation. It's about being intentional. And when you do it this way, you actually make it to debt-free. You'll learn: Why slow doesn't mean miserable (and how to make debt payoff sustainable) How to include things you LOVE in your monthly plan and sinking fund Why celebrating small wins matters more than waiting for the big one How to know your plan is working even when the balance moves slowly The difference between restriction and intentional spending This is Part 5 of 5.

This is Part 4 of a 5-part series on breaking up with credit cards and paying off debt. You're going to have moments where you want to use your credit card again. The car breaks down. You forgot to plan for something. Your friends want to go out and you don't have the money. In this episode, I'm walking you through the most common obstacles and what to do when they hit - so you have options besides reaching for the card. This ties back to Episode 2's lesson: planning ahead and having a sinking fund removes most obstacles before you face them. You'll learn: The most common moments when you'll be tempted to use your card (and what to do instead) How to handle unexpected expenses without credit cards What to do when social pressure makes you want to swipe Why planning your month ahead prevents most obstacles What to do if you use the card (just get back to not using it) This is Part 4 of 5.

This is Part 3 of a 5-part series on breaking up with credit cards and paying off debt. You're not making extra debt payments yet - you're still building your sinking fund like we talked about in Episode 2. But you NEED a plan for when you're ready. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to list all your debts, pick your strategy (snowball vs avalanche), and create your debt payoff roadmap. So when your sinking fund is set and you're ready to attack debt, you know exactly which one you're focusing on and why. You'll learn: Why you need a debt payoff plan even though you're not making extra payments yet How to pick your strategy: snowball (smallest first) vs avalanche (highest interest first) How to number your debts in order so you have a clear roadmap How the debt snowball actually works (minimums on everything except your target debt) When you'll actually start making extra payments (after your sinking fund is set) This is Part 3 of 5.

This is Part 2 of a 5-part series on breaking up with credit cards and paying off debt. Here's the truth: if you throw all your extra money at debt without saving for things you KNOW are coming, you'll end up using the credit cards again. Camp registration. Car insurance. Christmas. These aren't emergencies - they're predictable expenses you're not planning for. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you need to build a sinking fund BEFORE aggressively paying off debt, and how to actually plan for the things you know are coming instead of acting surprised every time. You'll learn: Why the debt payoff roller coaster keeps you stuck (it's not bad luck, it's lack of planning) The difference between emergencies and predictable expenses you're not planning for How to build a sinking fund for things you KNOW are coming How to look ahead 2-3 months and actually plan your spending Why this gets you debt-free faster than throwing everything at debt and using cards again This is Part 2 of 5.

This is Part 1 of a 4-part series on breaking up with credit cards and starting your debt payoff journey.

In this episode, I'm giving you the actual tactics to make it through that first month without swiping your card. Not theory. Not 'just stop' advice. Real strategies that work when life gets expensive and temptation hits. You'll learn: Why the first 30 days are the hardest (and what's actually happening in your brain) How to create physical and digital distance between you and your cards The small buffer you need in checking to avoid panic-swiping How to plan for your specific temptation moments before they happen This is Part 1 of 4.

If you set multiple money goals in January, you're probably either off track or overwhelmed by now. Here's the truth: you don't need ten money goals for 2026. You need ONE. In this episode, I'm breaking down the one money goal that actually matters - and it's not what you think. This goal is simpler, more sustainable, and more powerful than any specific number you could aim for. You'll learn: Why having too many money goals keeps you stuck The one goal that actually creates lasting change (and why it works better than specific number goals) How to build momentum that compounds throughout the year Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
We're almost through Q1 of 2026. What if this is the year everything changes with your money? Not in a dramatic overnight transformation way, but in a real, sustainable, "I finally figured this out" way. In this episode, I'm talking about what breakthrough years actually look like, the three things that make them different from every other year, and why this could be YOUR year - if you decide it is. You'll learn: What "breakthrough years" actually look like (spoiler: not perfection) The three things that make THIS year different from every other year How to envision your own breakthrough year and take the first step toward it Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen

In this episode, I'm cutting through all the noise and giving you the only three things you need to start paying off debt this week. No perfect plan required. No endless research. Just three simple steps that break the paralysis and create momentum.

You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. You KNOW what you're supposed to do with your money. But you're not doing it. If you've been stuck in "learning mode" for months (or years), this episode is for you. I'm breaking down the real reasons you're not implementing - it's not about needing more information - and giving you the tactical steps to actually move from knowing to doing. Because at some point, you have to stop learning and start taking action. You'll learn: The 3 real reasons you're stuck The one thing to do this week to break the paralysis How to have the money conversation with your partner if you're not on the same page Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
New Year's resolutions fail 80% of the time - and it's not your fault. The whole structure of resolutions is broken. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three reasons resolutions don't work (they're annual in a monthly world, they're fixed when life is changing, and they're all-or-nothing). Then I'm giving you what to do instead: Monthly Money Focus. This approach is flexible, adjustable, and actually works with your real life. You'll learn: The three structural problems with New Year's resolutions (and why they're set up to fail) What Monthly Money Focus is and how it works Why monthly goals create more progress than annual resolutions Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
New year, same you - and that's actually perfect. If you're already feeling the pressure of New Year's resolutions (or you didn't make any because you know they don't stick), this episode is for you. I'm breaking down why trying to transform into a completely different person doesn't work - and what does. Sustainable money progress comes from working WITH who you are, not against yourself. Let's talk about how to make 2026 your year without the pressure to become someone you're not. You'll learn: Why most New Year's money resolutions fail by mid-January (and what actually works instead) How small, consistent steps lead to bigger results than massive transformation goals The one question to ask yourself to pick your next money move for January Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
You paid off your credit card last month. This month it's back up to $2,000. Sound familiar? Paying off credit cards isn't the same thing as breaking up with them - and until you change your relationship with credit, you'll keep ending up right back where you started. In this episode, I'm breaking down why credit cards feel so helpful (until they become a trap), and the exact strategy to actually stop using them: a 4-week reset that includes a spending overhaul and decluttering your home to find extra money. If you're tired of the cycle, this episode will show you how to break it. You'll learn: Why credit cards are designed to feel helpful (and why that's the problem) When credit cards go from convenient to trap Why you can't pay off debt while actively adding to it The 4-week credit card breakup plan (stop using, overhaul spending, declutter and sell) How to find money you didn't know you had What happens when you actually break up with credit cards (instead of just paying them off) Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
Your budget keeps failing - and it's not because you're bad with money. It's because you're trying to force your real life into a generic template that doesn't account for what's actually happening. With the holidays coming up (Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, parties, travel), November and December need a PLAN, not a budget. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to create a spending plan based on your actual calendar, your household's real needs, and what matters to YOU - so you can stop feeling like a failure when life doesn't fit the template. You'll learn: Why generic budgets set you up to fail (especially during the holidays) The difference between a budget and a spending plan How to plan for your actual life by looking at your calendar What to consider for November/December specifically (because these months are NOT normal) How to make intentional choices about what matters vs. what doesn't Why flexibility is key to a plan that actually works Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
You say health is a priority, but you feel guilty spending on a gym membership. You say your marriage matters, but there's no room in the budget for date night. Your money is telling a story about your priorities - and it might not match what you're saying out loud. In this episode, I'm breaking down the two ways we contradict ourselves with money: feeling guilty about spending on what matters, and spending on things that don't actually align with our values. If you're tired of the disconnect between what you say matters and where your money actually goes, this episode will help you get aligned. You'll learn: Why guilt around "good" spending keeps you stuck How to see what your money ACTUALLY says you prioritize (not what you think it says) The difference between restriction and intentional spending One simple exercise to identify where you're contradicting yourself How to make aligned money choices that support your real priorities Why debt payoff fails when your spending contradicts your values Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
Haven't checked your bank balance in weeks (or months)? Feel that little flutter of anxiety every time you think about logging in? You're not broken, and you're not alone. In this episode, I'm diving into why we avoid our money - and more importantly, how to move from avoidance to awareness without shame or overwhelm. This is about the emotional side of money that nobody talks about but everyone struggles with. You'll learn: Why money avoidance is actually a form of self-protection (not weakness) What financial avoidance is really costing you beyond just late fees The "just look" method that breaks the avoidance cycle How to move from shame to curiosity with your money Why checking daily actually reduces anxiety instead of increasing it The simple first step you can take this week (no action required, just awareness) Get 9 Ways to Break Up With Your Credit Cards www.katyalmstrom.com/9-ways Book a free consultation call with Katy: calendly.com/almstromcoaching/moneywisechat The best way to connect with Katy online is in the Debt Payoff for Women Community! www.facebook.com/groups/debtpayoffforwomen
