The nebulous idea of âenoughâ is the topic of conversation in the season 2 finale of A Sunny Side Up Life podcast. Most of us struggle with this concept very early in our lives, as we begin to understand complex topics and facts of life like class, race, and inequity.
But how do we handle not being enough as adults when not reaching âenoughnessâ has real mental, physical and psychological ramifications?
I explore âbeing enoughâ by discussing our inner critic, the power of therapy and trusted confidants, and how social media will never be able to tell the full story.

The term âtraumaâ seems to be rampant in 2023⊠especially on social media.
Being âtrauma informed,â experiencing âchildhood trauma,â or having a âtrauma bondâ are phrases used repeatedly to describe certain pivotal and disturbing life experiences and/or mental distress. And while sometimes âtraumaâ is over exaggerated or used incorrectly, the current spotlight on this pervasive problem has brought, front-and-center, the need to explore it in greater depth.
This leads to the question: what about trauma and money? Can you have financial PTSD? Can you experience financial trauma? How valid are these things⊠or are we, as a society, being dramatic when it comes to this pairing?
In this episode, youâll learn more about:

Being a content creator sounds enticing, right? The glamor of having creative agency, working with big brands, and being paid to simply be you. Unfortunately though, like every job, itâs not all ring lights and TikTok trends.

For decades, finance has been dictated by straight, cis-gendered, white males. The need for something radically different is what pushed Regina and Angela, founders of Womenâs Personal Finance, to begin their online community for women and non-binary identifying folks.
WPF originated from female friendship and has grown into a force of personal finance education, encouragement, and inclusion.
WPF has been featured in The New York Times and Forbes and won the 2021 Plutus Award for Best Financial Content for Women.
In this episode, youâll learn more about:
The power of female friendship + close-knit community during isolating experiences or environmental barriers Why Womenâs Personal Finance focuses on a group of people instead of a personality or person Centering women and non-binary folks in the personal finance conversation How divorce or separation is an act of bravery + moreMENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:

The story of how WPF began dates back to 2018, when Angela wrote the blog post âMeet the Women of the Financial Independence Movementâ. That post kicked off the beginning of a real place where women could connect and talk about money and all other things important to them and soon after the post was published, Angela created the Womenâs Personal Finance Facebook community.
Later that year, Regina wrote a guest post on Angelaâs blog about her newly coined term PrepperFi. Angela and Regina cemented their friendship over the course of Reginaâs son developing cancer and entering into treatment. Sometimes, great things come out of hardships. The Facebook community has now grown to over 70k members and is known to be one of the best, most supportive places on the internet.
With WPFâs expanded community and mission supporters, they offer a premium community, WPF Insiders, articles about money written by other women, access to money experts, resources about all things finances, a super neat swag shop, and more.

My husband, Daniel Womack, joins A Sunny Side Up Life podcast to talk about his perspective on our debt free journey, budgeting, and different client personal finance situations.
Daniel and I have been married for 14 years, together 19 years. Through that time weâve gone from half a million dollars in debt to an over three hundred and fifty thousand dollar net worth.
It hasnât always been rainbows and butterfliesâ and often in the personal finance space, a male partnerâs perspective is missing. If youâre wondering what itâs like living with a money nerd and financial coach, this episode is for you!
In this episode, we chat about:
Our love story + how we each grew up with money How we ended up in debt + the actions we took to get out of it The biggest money mistakes weâve made as a married couple (hint: Keeping Up With The Joneses) Retiring early, living an intentional life + the difference between wanting to work and needing to work Why you need to budget in cheap fun while youâre getting your financial house together so you can have rich fun in the future + more MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:
