Naked Money Meetings

Does a landlord keep life insurance after the mortgage is paid off? Can a debt-crushing family pause its progress before a new baby arrives? Two women bring very different questions about the same seductive financial fantasy: that the plan should continue exactly as expected, even when life changes the conditions.

Women have been taught how to behave with money, but have they been taught how to make it perform? From shame and inaccurate education to investing, negotiation, and asking for what actually works, this Naked Money Meeting gets intimate with the cultural conditioning that leaves too many women financially unsatisfied. There is no prize for grinding it out the hard way.

In the final episode of this three-part series, Jen came looking for help with debt, investing, and ambition. But beneath the numbers sat a loss she was still carrying and a few final tasks she could not bring herself to complete. Erin helps Jen see what happens when financial admin becomes emotionally loaded, moving forward feels like betrayal, and one brave email asks her to become visible again.

In the second of this three part series, Jen cannot imagine finding $5,000 for herself without crumbling under the pressure. Ask her to find it for someone else, however, and possibility suddenly appears. In this follow-up conversation, Erin gets beneath people-pleasing, self-rejection, and the costly ways women abandon themselves before anyone else has the chance.

In the first of this three part series, you’ll meet Jen. What if “being reasonable” is sometimes fear wearing a sensible little outfit? When a high-achieving woman decides she may simply want too much, Erin asks what she would do if finding $5,000 today were non-negotiable. The answer exposes a tender spot that has very little to do with money.
