Key Takeaways: Money Moves & Mindset Shifts That Matter
Here are some of the most actionable insights and mindset shifts from our talk with Alana:
1. See Money as Freedom, Not Just a Paycheck
Alana challenges the notion that money is only for “things.” Instead, she reframes it as a tool that can buy options, security, and agency. (This shift helps women move from scarcity to possibility.) YouTube
2. Know the 3 Numbers Every Woman Should Track
She encourages awareness of foundational financial metrics—your savings rate, debt ratio, and invested assets—and building fluency with your own numbers so you can confidently make decisions. YouTube
3. Automate What You Can, Negotiate What You Should
Automating savings, retirement contributions, and investment flows helps reduce friction. But she also pushes negotiation—of compensation, benefits, equity—to optimize how your work returns to you. YouTube
4. Break Generational Taboo Around Talking Money
Silence about money limits collective understanding and perpetuates financial shame. Alana encourages open, intentional conversation—especially among women—to normalize financial literacy and strategy. YouTube
5. Mindset Shifts Are as Critical as Technical Moves
Even if you know investing, benefits, or tax strategy, your beliefs about worthiness, fear, and risk can hold you back. She pushes the “inner work” of wealth as hard as the external moves. YouTube
6. Align Work, Values & Wealth Trajectory
We dove into how women can design careers not just to make money, but to build purpose-aligned wealth that reflects their values and long-term goals. This reduces the dissonance many feel when financial gain conflicts with meaning.
Why This Episode Is Especially Rich for Episode 50
Celebration + Substance: This milestone episode is a reminder that our journey has always been about growth—not just numbers of episodes, but depth of impact.
Wealth As Power: In many leadership circles we talk strategy, systems, culture—but rarely do we foreground personal finance. With Alana, we center financial agency as a form of leadership.
Perspective Shift: Many women excel in professional skills yet feel uncertain about money. This conversation reframes that challenge, showing that financial capability is teachable and integral, not optional.
Your Next Moves (Action Steps You Can Do Now)
Pick one financial metric (e.g. net savings rate) to track for 3 months and revisit decisions based on it.
Automate one thing you’ve been procrastinating—whether a retirement contribution, transferring to an investment account, or a savings bucket.
Identify one area you feel underpaid or under‑benefited (stock options, health benefits, paid leave) and draft a case to negotiate it.
Share something financial you’ve learned with a peer (friend, colleague, mentor). Breaking the silence helps normalize financial conversations.
Reflect: What beliefs about worth or money still feel heavy? Sit with that and journal or talk about it.
With gratitude, excitement, and hope for each woman owning her financial story,
