Ep 03: The Women Who Shaped How I See Money
The Woman Behind The Wallet with Prea Epps
Your money story doesn't start with your first paycheck. It starts in the homes you grew up in and the people who sat at the table with you. In this episode, Prea steps away from frameworks and formal lessons to tell a personal story: the story of two women who shaped how she sees money, giving, and abundance through how they lived. At the center is "Grandmom," Prea's great aunt who raised her, fed her, fussed over her, and handed her a credit card in the middle of a financial crisis without hesitation. Alongside her is another woman who co-signed a loan so Prea could return to school and...

Ep 02: Healing the Hidden Money Wounds
The Woman Behind The Wallet with Prea Epps
In our last episode, I got real with you about my own story. This week, we go deeper into the why behind it all. You can follow every budgeting book, every expert's step-by-step plan, and still find yourself stuck in the same financial cycles because the real work has to start on the inside first. I'm joined by Dr. Tiffany Mimms, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of the Rosetta Center for Counseling and Wellness in Sacramento, CA. Together, we unpack how unresolved trauma, grief, and rejection can quietly shape the way we earn, spend, save, and avoid money and what it can look...
