Description

In this powerful episode, Lauren sits down with money mindset coach and financial mentor Deanna to unpack what it really takes to rewrite your money story. From navigating identity theft and single motherhood to building first-generational wealth, Deanna shares how deep mindset work—not just strategy—transformed her finances and her life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in generational money patterns, struggled with scarcity thinking, or questioned whether coaching could really help, this episode offers a raw, real look at how financial mentoring can lead to lasting change. We explore the difference between superficial mindset hacks and true transformation, and why putting your savings first (even when it feels impossible) is a game-changer.

You’ll walk away with practical insights into how financial coaching works, what to expect in one-to-one mentorship, and the mindset shifts that can create real financial freedom—no matter where you're starting.

Episode Highlights:

• Deanna shares how hitting rock bottom—including identity theft, single motherhood, and business collapse—led her to completely rewrite her money mindset.
• The surprising truth about why traditional money advice fails—and what actually works when you're stuck in survival mode.
• Why putting your savings first (even if it's $5) can radically shift your financial reality and emotional relationship with money.
• How deep, no-fluff coaching helped Deanna break generational money patterns and teach her kids a new narrative around wealth and self-worth.
