What comes up for you when you hear the phrase “money isn’t scary”? For many women, money brings up anxiety, shame, guilt, or a deep discomfort we don’t even have words for. In this episode, I sit down with Meghan Dwyer, a certified financial planner and host of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast, to unpack why so many women feel disconnected or intimidated by money… and what we can start doing to change that. Meghan shares practical steps to shift your money mindset, rebuild trust with yourself, and approach your finances from a place of empowerment instead of avoidance. We talk about why money stories run so deep, how childhood conditioning shapes our relationship with money, and the small intentional choices that lead to confidence and clarity. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, guilty, or “behind” when it comes to money, this conversation will help you feel seen, and give you a starting point toward a healthier, more grounded financial relationship. Tune in and take your first step toward becoming a woman who feels confident, capable, and at ease with her money.   Episode Resources Megan Dwyer Podcast: Money Isn't Scary Podcast Megan Dwyer Instsgram: @Moneyisntscary Megan Dwyer Official Website: Money Isn't Scary.com Connect with Angela: I'd love to hear from you!

In this episode of This Is How She Does It, Angela sits down with Carolyn Ferguson for an honest, fun, and relatable conversation about the realities of working motherhood—especially when the best-laid plans fall apart. Carolyn opens up about what it looks like to pivot when life throws curveballs (like construction delays, sick kids and derailed schedules), and why she’s learned to let go of perfection and keep her focus on what truly matters. She shares how being transparent about home life at work helps normalize the challenges most working parents face, and why psychological safety and supportive leadership are essential. Together, they dive into the dynamics of the “default parent,” how to share that role more equitably, and the invisible mental load so many women carry. Carolyn also talks about her recent decision to hire a home organizer—proving that sometimes outsourcing isn’t a luxury, it’s a sanity-saver. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, or like your plans are constantly shifting, this episode will make you feel seen. Tune in for practical wisdom, laughter, and a refreshing reminder that you’re not alone in the juggle.   Episode Resources:  Trisha Nelson, Home Organizer  https://www.finelyfunctionalhomeorganizing.com/ The First Witch of Boston   Connect with Angela: I'd love to hear from you!
