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!

Bridging the Gap from Scarcity to Abundance (and Why We Need to Wear our Patience Pants) with Jen Piala
This week, I'm so excited to have my friend Jen Piala back on the show. Jen is a Financial Abundance coach and a Certified Mindset Coach. Jen helps women create a simple plan to help them stop worrying about money. Having come from a place of lack, she recognized she wanted more from life and wanted a life of abundance. Jen took the time to create and actually live a life of abundance. She is thrilled to be able to bring this work to other women so they too can start creating the life they want to be living instead of thinking ‘this is just how it is’.
We talk about why its so important to focus on the things that are in our control, what abundance looks like and how we bridge the gap from scarcity to abundance and the power of Fact checking our beliefs.

The Productivity Trap: How to Break the Cycle and Find More Balance in our Every Day
Today, I thought it would be helpful re-air an episode that I did over 2 years ago on our struggles with productivity. In it, I talk about the internal and external pressures that so many of us feel and how we can form an identity around getting things done.
I talk about where we learned this, how it might be serving us (because it does serve a purpose in our lives), and what we can do about it if we want to break the cycle and find more balance in our everyday.

The End of Scarcity with Kristin Ragusin
This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with Kristen Ragusin, author of the book 'The End of Scarcity – The Dawn of the New Abundant World’.
Kristen's book teaches us about the flaws in our current belief system around money, and how we can change our beliefs to unlock the abundance that is already all around us.
As a society we've been conditioned to have beliefs about money that are meant to control us and keep us feeling a sense of scarcity. And we often just accept it as fact without even questioning it. Kristen encourages us all to know that we are all already born with wealth in the form of creativity, passion, and joy.

Self-Awareness, Self-Worth and Needs with Confidence & Assertiveness Specialist, Talia Bombola
This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with Talia Bombola. Talia is a professor, podcast host and business coach for women. Her work centers around helping women increase their self-worth, confidence, and assertiveness by rewiring beliefs about themselves, the world and those around them. Talia believes that once women heal the "not enoughness” they often feel inside, they can finally be free to pursue the life and success they deserve.
We talk a lot about the importance of understanding and identifying our needs beyond just physiological (so important as women) and how they show up in our relationships – not only with others but also with money and ourselves.

Values in Action: Designing Your Life Around What Matters Most
This week, I talk about personal values - what they are and why they are important to remember, not only when it comes to our money, but for every aspect of our lives. I share my thoughts on how it's not so simple to live according to our values everyday (I wish it was), so we just do the best we can, while staying true to ourselves.

Summer Reflections - musings on control, belonging and simplicity
In my first solo episode in a few months, I reflect on the Summer and how cultural and personal expectations impact my day to day decisions. Ultimately, its never about the thing, or the memory that we crave so much, its the feeling underneath it all that we're looking for.
Join me as I talk through my reflections and feelings on where I've been and begin to prepare for the transition into a new season.
