How Women Can Reclaim Their Power and Confidence with Money

Mar 20, 2026

Are you ready to put yourself first with money?

 

On this episode of Get Ready Before Life Happens, Tony sits down with Linda Grizely, creator of the MeMoney method and host of the Real Money, Real Life podcast, to explore how women can build a healthier, more empowered relationship with money.

 

Linda shares why putting yourself last creates long-term stress, how fear around spending can actually be protective, and why reconnecting with your personal money patterns is the key to confidence. This conversation reframes money as a tool for self-trust, choice, and readiness rather than guilt or restriction.

 

🔑  Key Takeaways

 

🔹 Create a “me-money” bucket that gives you permission to spend on yourself.

🔹 Think about each choice you make when you spending money

🔹 Women should stop putting themselves last when it comes to money decisions.

🔹 Talking openly about money builds confidence and reduces shame.

🔹 Feeling fear around spending is normal and can be a healthy signal.

🔹 Let go of guilt so money supports your life instead of controlling it.

🔹 Have the courage to start over when your current approach no longer serves you.

🔹 Reconnect with your power by understanding how you personally relate to money.

Tony’s Take

When women give themselves permission to engage with money without guilt or shame, confidence grows and choices become clearer. Money works best when it supports who you are and the life you want to live.
