EP 183 - How to Build Your Relationship with Money
💬 From Teenage Mom to Financial Truth-Teller — you deserve to feel confident with money.
In this episode of Finding Better, John Suzuki talks with Linda Grizely, CFP®, money coach and creator of the MeMoney™ method. Linda went from being a teen mom who dropped out of high school to building a life and career rooted in truth, not performance. She teaches women how to stop living by other people’s expectations, start with themselves, and create financial confidence without judgment or lectures.
Inside this conversation you’ll learn:
Why “better” doesn’t always look like growth on paper — and why that’s okay.
How your relationship with money starts with who you are (not just numbers).
Linda’s MeMoney™ approach: mindset + practical steps to feel in control of your finances.
Real, actionable money moves: stop carrying credit-card interest, use the snowball/avalanche strategy, and build simple saving habits.
How slow, honest becoming (not hustle culture) creates sustainable financial wellbeing.
Linda’s personal journey: becoming a mom at 16, rebuilding after divorce, and choosing work that aligns with purpose.
đź’ˇ Key Takeaways:
The path to “better” doesn’t always look like growth on paper — it’s often slow, steady, and internal.
You need to start with you — your identity and values shape financial choices.
Wealth is built by what you keep, not only what you make — control spending, eliminate high-interest debt.
Small, consistent habits beat dramatic short-term fixes.
