Join me LIVE on February 3rd to Uplevel Your Finances for 2026: (free rsvp) https://nataliabenson.myflodesk.com/money-uplevelIn today’s episode, I’m kicking off the Money Motivation Series with a conversation I wish every woman had before (or during) a relationship transition: women, breakups, and money. Because when your heart is already processing grief, uncertainty, and major identity shifts, the last thing you need is to be spiraling about your finances too.I’m walking you through the foundational pillars of financial self leadership, including why knowing your numbers creates emotional steadiness, how to assess your real earning capacity, and the mindset shift that moves you from need to desire to choice so you can make decisions from sovereignty, not survival.If you’re contemplating a separation, navigating divorce, rebuilding after a breakup, or you simply want to feel more anchored in your financial reality, this episode is your reminder: you cannot out-earn a money avoidance problem. But you can absolutely build a clearer, calmer, more mature relationship with your money, one simple step at a time.WE EXPLORE ✧ Why money clarity cultivates nervous system safety during major transitions. ✧ The first step to financial self leadership: tracking what comes in and what goes out. ✧ How to separate personal vs. business expenses for clean, empowering decision-making. ✧ The truth about earning capacity, and why it is always expandable. ✧ Money as energy: what it means to “hold more” without self-sabotage. ✧ The Need, Desire, Choice paradigm and how it changes everything in relationships. ✧ Why you cannot out earn money avoidance, and what to do instead. ✧ How financial organization creates the power of choice when life gets emotionally intense.FREE LIVE EVENTI’m hosting a Live Money Up Level Class + Enrollment Party on February 3 inside of MWMM.In this live class, we’ll cover: ✧ The MWMM financial organization system ✧ Money transitions + financial self leadership ✧ Moving from need to desire to choice ✧ Creating emotional safety and grounded clarity with your financesTo join the free event: https://nataliabenson.myflodesk.com/money-uplevelFOLLOWConnect on Instagram: @natalia_bensonExplore my work: nataliabenson.comLISTEN NEXTNext up in the Money Motivation Series: How to Stop Overspending (and actually feel good about money in 2026).Support the show
