In this week’s episode of Your Cup of Joy, I’m sitting down with personal finance mentor and founder of Ambitious Adulting, Liz Enriquez, for a grounded and empowering conversation about something that impacts every one of us: money.If you’ve ever felt ashamed, overwhelmed, or just totally lost when it comes to your finances, you’re not alone. Liz and I explore the emotional side of money, how our childhood experiences, family dynamics, and scarcity mindsets quietly shape the way we save, spend, and invest. She shares her personal journey from anxious saver to confident investor, and how financial freedom doesn’t have to mean sacrificing joy.We talk about what it really means to feel secure with money, how to begin with a simple financial audit, and the difference between deprivation and intentional spending. Liz also opens up about the importance of financial education for kids, and how those lessons begin with the way we speak about money at home. Plus, we unpack the “treat yourself” culture and how to find a rhythm that lets you enjoy your life while also building a stable future. Liz’s approach is rooted in real life, no jargon or shame, just practical, actionable steps to help you take control of your finances with confidence and clarity.What I love most about this episode is the reminder that financial wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness, choice, and compassion. If money has ever felt like a weight on your shoulders, this one’s going to feel like a breath of fresh air.If this episode gave you something to think about, smile at, or scribble down, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, or send it to a friend who’s ready to build a healthier relationship with money.
