Women and money mindset. If you're a high-earning woman wondering "why can't I save money," you're not alone. The women and money conversation rarely addresses what happens when you're smart, educated, and still struggling financially. 

In this episode, financial coach Sandra Park and I share the money mindset shifts that finally helped us stop overspending and start building wealth.

We get brutally honest about our own money mistakes: my near-daily Amazon orders during my time at Amazon, Sandra's multiple real estate moves, and the "I deserve this" mentality that kept us both stuck.

Sandra shares why women in STEM and other high-pressure careers often struggle with money despite their intelligence and education. We talk about why we outsourced our financial decisions to the men in our lives, the mental load that keeps women from learning financial systems, and what actually works when you're ready to take control.

Topics covered:

• Why making more money often leads to more money problems
• The "keeping up with the Joneses" trap in corporate environments
• Retail therapy, stress spending, and the entitlement mindset
• How women outsource financial decisions (and why we need to stop)
• The mental load difference and why women want simpler finances
• Sandra's order of operations for getting your money right
• The spending category that destroys most budgets
• One 30-day exercise that changes everything
• When to get help instead of figuring it out alone
