Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores themes of personal development, with a strong focus on topics such as burnout, boundaries, and belonging. Specific episodes like The Holy Work of Grief with James Kress highlight real-life experiences and practical insights, aiming to inspire listeners to reclaim joy and authenticity in their lives.
We shouldn’t have to trade our authenticity for belonging. The cost is too high. Hosted by Sheila Delaney, Crazy Beautiful Truth is good medicine for navigating burnout and loneliness, reshaping identity, and navigating transformation. We explore healing, leadership, human-ing, and what it means to reclaim vitality, courage, and creativity. We ask big questions of good people and want you to feel at home here.
Is there more to life than this?
Yes. Anything your heart desires.
A version of this episode was released in Season 1 and is back by popular demand — because the conversation about women and money is far from over. This is freshly edited and includes closing insights from Sheila.
So many women have told me they feel uneasy around their financial lives. Not incompetent — uneasy. Like there's something they should know, something they should be doing. If that's you, this episode is for you or for the people who love you.
Mikelann Valterra is an author, speaker, financial therapist, and master money coach who has spent twenty-five years as a thought leader in financial psychology. She helps women around the world rise above the money fog, transform their relationship with money, and design their ideal lives. Her book Rise Above the Money Fog is available now.
In this conversation we get into what money fog actually is — and the sneaky ways it shows up in midlife. We talk about the stories and beliefs we inherited around money, why women carry more financial anxiety than men, and what it means to treat your finances as a sacred resource for designing a life you love. We also talk about mimetic desire — the great romantic lie that our desires are actually our own.
This is not a budgeting episode. It's a freedom episode.
What we cover:
- The FOG framework — Fear, Overwhelm, and Guilt — and how to recognize it in yourself
- Why midlife transitions bring money fog roaring back
- Elegant financial simplicity — and why fewer accounts means more peace
- The seeds of possibility that money fog quietly kills
- How to ask better questions of yourself and your advisors
- Where desire actually comes from — and why it matters
