Your Money Story: Rewriting the Beliefs That Are Costing You Wealth

Your Money Story: Rewriting the Beliefs That Are Costing You Wealth
The way you handle money today was shaped long before you earned your first paycheck. In this episode of Proactive Women Presents: The Uncomfortable Financial Conversations with Women, hosts Joyce Palmer and Francine sit down with certified money coach Shantel McRaven, founder of the Financially Mindful Society, to talk about the "money stories" we inherit from childhood—and how to challenge the ones that are quietly holding us back. This episode looks at what happens when the beliefs you grew up with about money stop serving the life you actually want to build. In this episode, we talk about: Your Money Story: How the beliefs and habits you absorbed growing up shape the way you spend, save, and see yourself with money—and why challenging those inherited assumptions is the first real step toward change. The "I Wish I'd Known Sooner" Trap: Why so many women reach retirement saying they wish they'd started earlier, and how getting proactive—at any age—changes the whole trajectory of your finances. Build It, Manage It, Grow It: The three pillars of a healthy financial life, why the person who manages money well often outpaces the person who simply earns more, and how to start thinking about legacy and long-term wealth. A Space for Accountability: How the Financially Mindful Society gives women of all ages a community to plan out loud, stay accountable, and redesign retirement for a world without the pensions and guarantees our parents counted on. If you've ever felt like your money habits are running you instead of the other way around, this conversation is for you.

What Women Really Spend (And Why It's Never What You Think)
07/29/2026
What Women Really Spend (And Why It's Never What You Think)
Retail therapy, retirement math, and the "story" hiding in every purchase—this episode gets honest about where the money actually goes. In this episode of She Is Not The Bank, Joyce Palmer and Fran Marie dig into the real, everyday spending habits of women—not the big splashy purchases, but the small stuff that quietly adds up—and what it means for the future you're trying to build. This episode looks at how it's rarely one big decision that derails a budget—it's the invisible, recurring ones—and how paying closer attention to where your money goes can reshape your whole financial picture. In this episode, we talk about: The Hidden Cost of "It's Not That Much": Why it's almost never the big purchase that breaks the bank—it's the stack of small ones (subscriptions, gifts, stress shopping, helping out the kids) that quietly drains an account. Every Dollar Tells a Story: How tracking your spending against what you actually value—not just watching the total—reveals your real financial priorities, and why those priorities shift as life does. The Subscription Audit: A practical case for regularly reviewing recurring charges (yes, even the ones you forgot you had) and freeing that money up for what matters more. Money as a Couple: Why financial planning shouldn't happen in isolation—how accountability with a partner changes the numbers, and why even the non-primary earner deserves a real seat at the table. What You Can't Control (and What You Can): A candid look at the retirement risks—taxes, inflation, market swings, long-term care—that are largely out of your hands, and why your own spending is one of the few levers you truly control. If you've ever looked at your bank statement and wondered where did it all go, this conversation is for you.

Rewriting Your Money Story: The Habits You Inherited and How to Change Them
The way you handle money today was shaped long before you earned your first paycheck. In this episode of She Is Not The Bank, Joyce Palmer and Fran Marie sit down with certified money coach Shuntel, founder of the Financially Mindful Society, to talk about the "money stories" we inherit from childhood—and how to challenge the ones that are quietly holding us back. This episode looks at what happens when the beliefs you grew up with about money stop serving the life you actually want to build.

She Is Not The Bank

She Is Not The Bank
The traditional family paycheck has changed hands. In this episode of She Is Not The Bank, Joyce Palmer and Fran Marie dig into how more households now run on a woman's income first—and what that shift actually means for how families plan, spend, and think about money. This episode looks at what happens when the main provider role changes, but the old assumptions around it don't always keep up. In this episode, we talk about: The New Breadwinner Dynamic: How more families now rely primarily on a woman's income, and what that shift changes—and doesn't change—at home. Money and Identity: How being the main provider can reshape a woman's relationship to work, security, and long-term planning. Old Habits, New Roles: Where outdated expectations around money and gender still linger, even when the numbers have shifted. Planning for the Provider: Why the person bringing in the primary income needs a financial strategy built around that reality—not around assumptions from a different era. If your income is what keeps things running, this conversation is for you. Connect with JP Financial Group: Want a financial strategy built around your role as a provider?

Will I Outlive My Money?
One of the quiet financial fears many people carry is simple—but heavy: Will my money last as long as I need it to? In this episode of the Proactive Women Podcast, Joyce Palmer and Fran Marie explore the realities, questions, and planning gaps that sit underneath that concern. This is a practical conversation about longevity, financial decisions, and the assumptions we make about income, spending, and the future. In this episode, we discuss: The longevity question: Why this concern shows up more often than people admit, and what typically drives it. Spending vs. sustainability: How lifestyle choices today can impact long-term financial stability. Retirement expectations vs. reality: Common misunderstandings about how long money actually needs to last. Planning gaps: Areas people often overlook when thinking about long-term financial security. Awareness over assumptions: What it looks like to get a clearer picture of your financial runway without overcomplicating it. A grounded look at the question behind many financial decisions—and what it takes to start answering it more clearly.

Things I Wish I Knew: My Money Story
Money has a way of reflecting the choices, habits, and conversations we often avoid. In this episode of the Proactive Women Podcast, Joyce Palmer and Fran Marie reflect on the financial lessons, missteps, and realizations that shape a personal money story—and what they wish they had understood sooner. In this episode, we discuss: Looking back at money decisions: How early experiences and choices can quietly shape your financial path. Lessons learned the hard way: Common financial mistakes and what they reveal when you look at them with hindsight. Money habits over time: How small patterns in spending, saving, and avoidance build up into bigger outcomes. Emotional ties to money: How fear, pride, stress, and expectations influence financial decisions more than we realize. What we wish we knew sooner: Practical insights that could have changed the way we approached money earlier in life. A reflective and honest conversation about personal money journeys—what they teach us, and how they can guide better decisions moving forward.

Welcome back to Part 2 of our deep dive into Social Security! This week on the Proactive Women's Podcast, Joyce and Fran tackle the hard-hitting questions regarding the future of your retirement income.

Proactive Prevention: Why investing in your physical health now—through lifestyle changes, stress management, and preventative care—is the ultimate retirement strategy.
This week on the Proactive Women's Podcast, Joyce and Fran are having a crucial conversation about the leading health risk for women: heart health. It’s impossible to talk about a successful, happy retirement without discussing physical wellness. The undeniable link between financial stress and cardiovascular disease means that taking control of your money is actually a form of preventative healthcare. Furthermore, managing a heart condition in retirement comes with significant medical expenses that can easily derail an unprepared portfolio. We are breaking down the true costs of cardiovascular care, the gaps in traditional healthcare coverage, and how creating a proactive, stress-free financial plan can quite literally save your life. Protect your heart, protect your wealth.

Caregivers Need Care Too: Protecting Your Health & Your Wealth
This week on the Proactive Women's Podcast, Joyce and Fran are having a heart-to-heart about a role many women find themselves stepping into: the family caregiver. Whether you are part of the "sandwich generation" caring for aging parents while raising children, or supporting a sick spouse, the emotional and financial strain can be overwhelming. Too often, women sacrifice their own retirement savings and career progression to care for others. In this episode, we discuss how to navigate these challenges without losing your financial footing. We break down the true costs of caregiving, the vital importance of long-term care planning, and why setting financial boundaries is necessary for your future. Remember, taking care of your own retirement is taking care of your family.

Taking a Bite Out of Your Savings? The Reality of Dental Care in Retirement
This week on the Proactive Women's Podcast, Joyce and Fran are diving into a massive blind spot in most retirement plans: your teeth. It’s a harsh reality that traditional Medicare leaves routine dental care completely uncovered. Without the right plan, everything from standard cleanings to major procedures like crowns and dentures comes straight out of your pocket. Furthermore, poor oral health is heavily linked to broader medical issues, meaning neglecting your dental care can lead to soaring medical bills down the road. We’re breaking down the true costs of senior dental care, exploring the gaps in the healthcare system, and sharing actionable strategies—from supplemental insurance to specialized savings tactics—to ensure your smile doesn’t compromise your financial security.

Celebrating Black Financial History & The Blueprint for Generational Wealth
This week on the Proactive Woman Podcast, host Joyce Palmer delivers a powerful solo episode dedicated to Black History Month, focusing specifically on our financial history.
