You’ve heard me say it before, but If your money isn’t right, it affects all other parts of your life –money is a part of wellness. That’s why I’m back with another episode of the Brown Vegan Podcast Money Series.
In this series, I speak with everyday people and money experts to share how we can get better with our money and heal our relationship to money to live our best lives.
Today, I have Dyana Marie on the show to talk about getting out of crippling debt, how she improved her money relationship overall, why staying on track can be difficult, and finding forgiveness for our financial mistakes.
Dyana, founder of Money Boss Mama LLC, is a single mom of 2 who paid off debt on a single income. She teaches other single moms how to increase their spending freedom by controlling their emotional spending so they can pay off debt and build their savings.
We start off this conversation exploring how money showed up during Dyana’s childhood, and the difference she noticed after her parent’s divorce at the end of her 3rd grade year. She recalls how she went from understanding that her family wasn’t wealthy but comfortable, to realizing after the divorce that there was a sense of scarcity and shame around a lack of money.
By the time Dyana was a young adult, she was supporting herself but having trouble figuring out WHY she was having such a hard time saving money. She shares that she eventually ran the numbers to find out she was spending over $400 on eating out just for herself, and once she had a daughter of her own and couldn’t afford diapers,, she was forced to face her financial situation and change things.
The reality check led Dyana down a rabbit hole of internet research to lower her monthly payments and set up a budget to get her out of debt and into savings. Make sure you scroll to the bottom of this page after listening to the episode to get Dyana’s free training on why you’re overspending.
