In this Coffee Talk episode, Dr. Stacy sits down with Germaine Foley, Certified Life and Money Coach, to tackle a common (and rarely talked about) struggle: making good money but still feeling behind financially.

If traditional budgeting feels restrictive, overwhelming, or just not sustainable for you, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air ☕️

Germaine shares her signature approach to money—building wealth while still enjoying your life—and explains how she paid off over $200,000 in debt without giving up travel, fun, or the things she loved. Together, they dive into why extreme budgeting backfires for many women, how avoidance keeps us stuck, and the simple mindset shifts and habits that actually move the needle.

You’ll hear:

• Why “just spend less” isn’t enough
• How to stop avoiding your finances without getting overwhelmed
• The powerful “pause before you pay” habit that saves thousands
• How values-based spending creates both freedom and security
• Why financial security is often a top value—but the most underfunded

This episode is especially for women who are smart, capable, successful… and quietly wondering why money still feels stressful.

✨ You really can build wealth and enjoy your life at the same time.
