In this insightful and deeply grounding conversation, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui is joined by Cleo, a financial coach and money trauma specialist, to explore the often unspoken relationship women have with money and how generational beliefs quietly shape financial decisions.
Cleo shares her personal journey from accountant to financial coach, explaining how money trauma shows up in women’s lives, from under-earning and avoidance, to fear around investing and wealth building. Together, they unpack why financial education is not just about numbers, but about confidence, values, and rewriting inherited narratives around money.
This episode opens up honest conversations around paying yourself properly, building sustainable wealth, and creating financial freedom without shame or secrecy. It is a powerful reminder that women are not risk averse, but risk aware, and that with the right education, mindset, and support, wealth becomes something we can consciously build, rather than something that feels out of reach.
- What you will learn
- What money trauma is and how it affects women
- The impact of generational beliefs on wealth and self-worth
- Why women are stepping into greater financial independence
- The importance of financial education for long-term change
- Building healthy money habits, starting with paying yourself first

This episode is an invitation to gently examine your own relationship with money, without judgement. If you have ever felt uncomfortable talking about finances, unsure about investing, or disconnected from your earning potential, this conversation will help you feel seen, informed, and empowered.
Building wealth is not about perfection or privilege. It starts with education, awareness, and the courage to rewrite the stories you inherited.
