Honest Tea

Money isn’t just numbers in a bank account — it’s habits, mindset, trauma, power, and let’s be real… sometimes a little chaos.

In this episode, Money Talks (and So Do We), we’re getting into the real conversations people avoid: how we think about money, how we handle it, where we mess up, and how it quietly shapes our relationships, confidence, and lifestyle.

From spending habits that don’t make sense (but feel so good) to le...
