Managing Money Made Easy by Karen G Adams
Welcome to Managing Money Made Easy – the podcast that takes the stress out of money and replaces it with confidence, clarity, and real-life results.
Hosted by Karen G Adams, financial coach, author, and founder of Financial Management 101, this show is for everyday people who are tired of financial stress, living pay to pay, and feeling like they're always behind. Whether you’re single, raising a family, or somewhere in between - if you want a better relationship with money, this podcast is for you.
You’ll hear simple strategies, motivational money tips, real client success stories, and plenty of down-to-earth chats to help you take control of your finances without the overwhelm. Karen makes the complex simple and brings 30+ years of financial experience straight to your ears, without the boring jargon.
Each week, Karen dives into practical topics like:
- Budgeting that actually works for your lifestyle
- Getting out of debt without giving up your morning coffee
- How to save money without living like a hermit
- Mindset hacks to stop sabotaging your progress
- Building financial muscle (even if you’ve never lifted a calculator!)
- And how to finally stop stressing about money and start living again
Karen believes managing money is 80% mindset and 20% know-how, and she brings a powerful mix of both to every episode. She shares what’s worked for her clients and herself, and what doesn’t work, so you can fast-track your own financial success.
