✨ What to expect in this episode:
- My early dream of wealth, inspired by lottery fantasies and a “Richie Rich” mindset
- The reality of living a Champagne lifestyle on a Prosecco budget: consumer debt, emotional spending, and the pressure to "look rich"

- My lightbulb moment: shifting the focus from wealth to financial wellness and embracing small, impactful changes
- How Financielle was born from a desire to help women take manageable steps toward financial security and stability
