What if the real reason you feel stuck financially isn’t your bank account — but the beliefs you’ve carried for years?

In part one of this two-part conversation, Shelly sits down with Audrey Faust, The Manifesting CFO™, to explore how our earliest money messages shape our confidence, decisions, and sense of possibility in midlife.

Together, they talk about growing up hearing phrases like “we can’t afford that,” how scarcity mindsets get passed down through generations, and why mindset work often needs to come before spreadsheets and strategies.

Audrey also shares her grounded, practical take on manifestation — not as magic, but as focus and alignment — and how learning to shift what we believe can open the door to more peace and confidence with money.

Key Takeaways:

How early money messages shape our beliefs in midlife
Why “we can’t afford that” can quietly limit what feels possible
What it means to be the transitional generation with money
Why mindset is the missing piece before financial strategy
A practical, down-to-earth explanation of manifestation

This conversation was so rich that it’s been split into two parts.
👉 In Part 2, we’ll get practical with money blocks, subconscious beliefs, and simple tools to start rewriting your money story.
