This week on Blooming Out Loud, Halie Rose Bloom opens up about the financial anxieties and societal pressures of life in New York—a city that never sleeps and often measures worth by paychecks and professions. Raised by a single mother in Southern California, money was always present in Halie’s story but never her definition. From juggling jobs to refusing the word “no,” she built resilience and a relentless drive to keep moving forward. Guided by her mother’s mantra, “We’ll figure it out later,” Halie learned to chase opportunities even when the odds felt stacked against her. This episode explores the unseen struggles behind her determination, the lessons that shaped her, and her commitment to building happiness on her own terms—proof that even in a world ruled by money, there’s always a way through.
