Episode description

Money can be a source of freedom—or a source of stress. Many of us struggle with financial challenges, but what happens when debt, shame, and avoidance take over? In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Andy Coley, an award-winning NLP trainer, speaker, and coach, to discuss his transformational money story—from financial struggles and hidden debt to career reinvention and a six-figure coaching business.

Andy opens up about the emotional and psychological impact of money mismanagement, his wake-up call moment, and how he rebuilt his confidence, career, and financial wellbeing. His journey is a story of resilience, reinvention, and learning to own your worth—something we can all take inspiration from.

✅ The danger of avoiding money conversations—and how silence can lead to financial disaster.

✅ How debt spirals out of control—and what Andy wishes he had known earlier.

✅ Overcoming shame and asking for help—why vulnerability is the key to financial transformation.

✅ The role of NLP and coaching in breaking negative financial patterns.

✅ From rock bottom to six-figure success—how Andy secured a £100,000 contract and transformed his business.

✅ Why financial freedom isn’t just about money—but about time, purpose, and balance.

✅ How to shift your mindset from survival mode to thriving.

🔹 Memorable Quotes from Andy:

✨ “Playing small and avoiding the truth doesn’t serve anyone. The sooner you face your finances, the sooner you take back control.”

✨ “I realised my money struggles weren’t just about numbers—they were about fear, avoidance, and shame.”

✨ “Success isn’t just about income—it’s about time, freedom, and being present for the things that truly matter.”
