Money Isn’t Scary - Money Mindset, Money Anxiety, Intentional Spending, Saving Money, Money Management
Meghan Dwyer - Financial Planner, Money Mindset Coach, Boy Mom
Feel Confident and Secure in your Relationship With Money Are you sick of feeling overwhelmed whenever you open you bank account? Do you want to learn to spend money with intention instead of emotion? Do you want to stop staying small and have more confidence in your financial decisions? In this podcast, you will find actionable steps and emotional support to free yourself from shame and help you find peace around money. My mission is to remove the cultural stigma around money, so that you feel less alone and more equipped to start running toward your fears. If you’re ready to have a healthier and more purposeful relationship with money, you’re in the right place! I’m Meghan, a mom of 2 young boys, a financial planner, and emotional spender. Despite being a financial planner, I’ve never truly felt a sense of control over my own financial situation. Even though I had the knowledge of financial tools and strategies, I just couldn’t seem to implement and I avoided it altogether. When I finally decided to explore my relationship with money and all the thoughts, beliefs and stories that come with it, I started noticing major shifts in my spending patterns. I began feeling less afraid and started feeling calmer and more confident in my financial decisions. And I’m here to share my journey with you! If you are ready to see massive shifts in your money mindset and finally feel good when you open your bank account – this podcast is for you! Its time to start listening to who knows you best – you!

Listen to the last episode:
In this week's episode, I’m talking about something that doesn’t get discussed nearly enough—the invisible financial load that so many moms carry every single day. Beyond paying bills or managing accounts, there’s a deeper layer of responsibility: the constant thinking, planning, worrying, and anticipating around money. And in many households, that emotional and mental load quietly falls on moms—often without being seen or acknowledged. I share my own experience with this, and how it can show up as pressure, burnout, guilt, and even resentment over time. We also talk about why this happens, how it becomes normalized, and what it looks like to start bringing awareness to it. This is a gentle, honest conversation meant to help you feel seen—and to remind you that it doesn’t have to feel this heavy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn’t Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.
