I Make Good Money… So Why Am I Still Stressed? (Ep 94)
About this episode
Do you make good money… but still feel like it’s not enough?
In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro sits down with financial coach Dianna Thornton to explore the deeper emotional and psychological relationship women have with money.
Because financial stress isn’t always about income.
It’s often about self-trust, control, and the way we’ve been conditioned to think about money.
In this conversation, we discuss:
• Why high earners can still feel financially insecure
• The emotional side of money and decision-making
• The difference between discipline and restriction
• Why budgeting often feels overwhelming or unsustainable
• How shame and past experiences impact financial habits
• Rebuilding confidence after failed budgeting attempts
• What financial self-trust really looks like
If you’ve ever felt like you should have it together financially—but don’t feel secure—this episode will shift your perspective.
