#199 Why Your Money Confidence Shapes Every Conversation You Have (or Avoid)

🎙 Episode 199: Five Bold Questions to Build Real Money Confidence – Why Self-Trust Matters More Than Strategy

Can you truly feel confident with money if you’re still performing certainty while quietly avoiding the truth?

In this heartfelt solo episode of Let’s Talk Money and More, Lesley Thomas shares a powerful listener story—and five bold questions designed to break financial habits and shift your mindset.

Inspired by a recent email from a former client, Lesley reflects on the invisible ways money confidence (or the lack of it) shapes our conversations, our choices, and even our self-worth. Because as Lesley says, how you do money is how you do everything.

With thoughtful prompts and compassionate guidance, this episode is a gentle wake-up call for anyone who’s ready to move beyond shame, ditch the “perfect plan,” and instead build real, lasting confidence in their relationship with money.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why financial confidence is more about self-trust than spreadsheets

✅ The importance of asking bolder, braver questions around money

✅ How to spot when you’re performing money confidence vs. actually feeling it

✅ Five transformative prompts to interrupt old patterns and ignite growth

✅ Why honest reflection is more powerful than trying to “get it right”

✅ How small pauses can create big financial shifts

🧠 Key Takeaways:

✨ “Money confidence isn’t about knowing all the answers—it’s about trusting yourself to ask the right questions.”

✨ “You don’t need to do this perfectly. You just need to stop doing it alone.”

✨ “Bad habits aren’t broken by willpower alone—they’re broken by self-awareness and better questions.”
