À propos de cet audio

As a woman, you might carry the emotional and logistical weight of caregiving, parenting, career-building, and household management. It’s no wonder financial planning tends to fall to the bottom of your list—yet it’s one of the most important tools you have for protecting your future, your family, and your peace of mind.

Women’s Money Wisdom is here to change that.

Maybe you’re preparing for retirement, juggling the needs of both kids and aging parents, or growing a business you’ve built from the ground up. You want to build wealth in a way that reflects your values. You want guidance that honors your full life—not just your portfolio. And most of all, you want a trusted partner who sees the whole picture, not just the numbers.

  • Episode 279: Less Pressure, More Purpose: Building a Life That Feels as Good as It Looks with Brandi Hudson
    Jul 8 2025

    What if success didn’t have to come with stress, hustle, and emotional burnout? Performance coach Brandi Hudson joins Melissa Joy to share how high-achievers can shift from chasing external validation to building a life rooted in purpose, clarity, and peace.

    Brandy introduces her powerful BASE framework—Beliefs, Alignment, Self-Awareness, and Emotional Resilience—a mindset map for those ready to evolve from achievement to mastery. Together, they explore the inner work it takes to untangle limiting beliefs, align your desires with your emotions, and build true emotional resilience so that success actually feels successful.

    This conversation is for the doers, the leaders, the “check-the-box” professionals who suspect there’s more waiting on the other side of the hustle.

    💡 Key Themes Covered:

    • Rethinking success: Why accomplishments alone don't guarantee fulfillment
    • How subconscious beliefs quietly shape your relationship with money, health, and love
    • The difference between wanting money and understanding what you actually want it for
    • Why emotional resilience is the ultimate leadership skill
    • Tools to align your internal world with your external goals

  • Episode 277: Money Hot Takes: Financial Controversies & Unpopular Opinions
    Jun 24 2025


    Ever feel like some financial "truths" don't quite add up? In this episode of Women's Money Wisdom, Melissa Joy, CFP®, teams up with colleague Alexa Kane, CFP®, for a candid conversation challenging some of the most widely accepted (but often unexamined) money beliefs.

    🔍 What they unpack:

    • The Hidden Costs of Buy Now, Pay Later:
      From fast food to impulse buys, installment payment apps are everywhere—but at what cost? Melissa and Alexa reveal how these “convenient” options can become debt traps, especially for younger consumers.
    • The Case Against Aging in Place:
      It’s a common goal—but is it always the best one? Learn why staying in your home might not be ideal and how retirement communities could offer more social, emotional, and physical support in the long run.

    💬 Expect real stories, smart analysis, and bold perspectives that just might shift your thinking. Plus, a preview of what’s next: a hot take on life insurance as an investment.

    🎧 Listen now and consider:

    • Are your financial choices based on habit—or strategy?
    • Could your assumptions about aging be holding you back?
    • Who needs to hear this? Forward it to a friend.
