Ladies, if money talk makes your eyes glaze over... or you secretly worry you’re “bad” at it... this is THE episode for you. I’m bringing in my girl Tess Smith, a financial educator who is the exact OPPOSITE of some stiff suit yelling on TV. (No jargon. No shame. No calculator required.) She’s keeping it SIMPLE and real, because money stress is one of the biggest weights we all carry… especially in midlife. And Magic Makers, you deserve better than flying blind or feeling stuck. In this fun conversation, we cover: ✅ Why “bougie broke” is keeping too many women trapped (good bye Stanley cup) ✅ The sneaky ways we’re held hostage by money beliefs ✅ How to build financial freedom, yes, even if you feel like its “too late” ✅ Why having a million bucks isn’t the only way to retire well ✅ What your 401k should actually be doing for you (and what Tess wishes every woman knew) If you’ve ever said: “I’m bad with money…” “I missed the boat…” “I’ll figure it out later…” …it’s TIME to listen. This could change everything. 👉 Hit play and if you love it, take a screenshot and tag me + @wealthwithtess   Links: Facebook group Free Resources: https://www.fitgirlmagic.com/freeresources_podcast Website:  http://www.kimbarnesjefferson.com  FREE Quiz – Is Your Metabolism Tired AF? https://www.fitgirlmagic.com/metabolism-makeover FREE Guilt Free Alcohol Guide https://www.fitgirlmagic.com/alcohol_evergreen_2025podcast/   Tess Smith https://www.wealthwithtess.com/ Instagram FREE beginner investing resources https://www.moneyconfidentclub.com/ Books mentioned I’ll teach you to be rich The Millionaire Next Door The Psychology of Money https://amzn.to/4kSNu2F
