Cash Confident with Brie Sodano

You've taken a thousand coaching courses. Read a million self-help books. Paid the coach. And even when you got results, they never really tied back to the money. Or maybe you've been on a healing journey for years, excavating your entire childhood, addressing every wound, still waiting for the dollars to catch up. Or you get right to the edge of a breakthrough, and that's exactly w...

When something in your business feels off, and you can't put your finger on what it is, you're usually looking in the wrong place. For years, I tried to fix a lead problem with a sales solution, and it never worked. In this episode, I break down the five levers every business runs on and how to find exactly where your money is leaking. I think about a business like water moving through p...

You can have the budget, the plan, the spreadsheet that balances perfectly on paper, and still end up right back where you started. That's not because you failed at math. It's because there's a whole layer underneath the numbers that nobody told you to look at, and it's been calling the shots the entire time. This is the last episode in the June series on what it actually takes...

Credit card debt is one of the two biggest reasons people come to me, so this is the episode where I tell you how to actually get out of it. But here is where I flip it on you. On paper, the problem always looks the same: the balance climbing, the cash flow tight, that feeling of treading water. The reason you are actually in it is rarely the same as the next person's, and that is why rushing...

Everyone hands you a budget like it's the whole answer to getting your money straight. Make the spreadsheet, assign every dollar, stick to it. So you do, and a few weeks in, it falls apart, because a budget was only ever going to get you part of the way there. A budget is a planning tool, and a good one. But planning is the easy half. A budget will happily tell you where every dollar should g...

Most people think getting their money together is about getting a better budget. And yeah, budgets matter. But if the budget was enough, it would have worked by now. What I've seen over 13 years of doing this work is that the stuff that actually derails people has nothing to do with math. It's your body. It's scarcity kicking in and making decisions before your brain even catches up...

There's a difference between wanting something and being able to actually receive it. Most of the work I see people do is focused on the wanting, the vision boards, the affirmations, the asking. But what I've learned, after 13 years and working with thousands of clients, is that the real work is about becoming the person who can perceive the opportunity when it shows up. This is the four...

You can want more money with your whole mind and still have your body shut it down. Not because you're broken, but because your body is wired for survival, not for thriving. Thriving is manual. It has to be built. This is the part most wealth work skips. The mental work, the emotional work, they matter. But your body has ultimate veto power. If she doesn't feel safe with the expansion, s...

Most people chasing abundance are thinking about what they want. Bigger revenue, more freedom, more ease. What nobody tells you is that an abundant life isn't just more of the good stuff. It's bigger problems, bigger emotions, and bigger sensations your body has to be able to hold. Your emotional range aka your capacity to handle high sensation, is directly tied to how much you can recei...

Money mindset work can change everything. I've watched it happen with clients, and I've lived it myself. But there's a point where that same approach starts working against you, and most people don't realize it until they're spinning their wheels wondering why the thing that worked so well before isn't working anymore. That's what this episode is about. There are...

All month, we've been working on raising your vibration so you can become a match for the wealth you want, and in this episode, I'm showing you how all the pieces work together to create a complete system.  Once you know how to use it, your emotional state becomes your GPS for your money. If you're not paying attention to it, it's running your results for you.  This is the work...

What you observe isn't neutral. It's affecting your energy field whether you're paying attention or not. Most people are letting that happen unconsciously, which means they're letting life set their vibe for them instead of the other way around. This week I'm teaching you how to use observation as an intentional skill. There are three specific ways to work with it, and tog...

Most self-sabotage isn't a strategy problem. It's an emotional capacity problem. When you don't have the capacity to tolerate the sensations that come with the life you're building, your body will find a way to protect you from it, usually right when things are about to get good. This week we're going deep on allowance, the practice of letting your emotions move through wi...

Most people think shifting their energy is just a mindset thing. It's not. It's a body thing. And when you start moving out of survival mode and into states of love, joy, and abundance, your body is going to push back. This is the part that often gets left out of conversations around abundance. Your body is wired to protect what's familiar, and that includes the stress chemicals it&...

Most of us can describe the life we want in detail. The freedom, the love, the abundance. But if you check in with where you're actually spending your energy throughout the day, it's usually nowhere close to that. This month we're working on vibration, and this episode is where it starts. I'm walking you through David Hawkins' map of consciousness, how to use it to plot th...

If you think gratitude is just a nice idea or a feel-good exercise, you’re missing the point. I’m breaking down why gratitude is actually a mental discipline that directly impacts your ability to build wealth, hold onto it, and feel safe having it. In this episode, I’m walking you through what’s really happening in your brain and body when you practice gratitude, how it trains your mind to look fo...

You’ve probably heard the advice: stop buying lattes, skip the avocado toast, or stop getting your hair done to get financially ahead. But lately I’ve been down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at the belief systems behind a lot of money advice, and I started noticing something that made me pause. A surprising amount of financial advice aimed at women carries some very old assumptions about spending...

Everyone says you need an emergency fund. But what if that advice is actually creating more money stress than it solves? In this episode, I’m breaking down why the traditional emergency fund strategy doesn’t work as well as people think. The stop-and-start saving cycle creates financial drama, keeps you in reactive mode, and often leaves you unprepared for the expenses you can actually see coming....

Want to make more money? You have to be willing to ask for it. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to ask for a raise in a clear, confident, strategic way. We’re talking about how to separate your worth from your market value, how to document the real results you bring, and how to prepare so you don’t wobble when it’s time to make the ask. I’m also getting honest about flexibility, negotiation,...

Money triggers people. It reveals control issues, victim patterns, envy, and power dynamics most of us would rather not look at. In this conversation with Hendrix Black, author of Shadow Money , we break down what a shadow actually is and how it shows up in your financial life. We talk about money as a weapon, money as a savior, and how your first job may have quietly trained you on what you belie...

What if you’re not bad at business… you’re just divided? In this episode, I’m breaking down shadow integration and why the parts of you that you’ve denied, repressed, or judged are the exact parts holding your income hostage. I walk you through what the shadow actually is, where it lives in your psyche, and how your own internal judgments create the wall that splits your power in half. This is not...

What if body shame is the reason you’re playing small with your money? I’m joined by coach and speaker Evelyn LeVasseur, who helps women untangle from diet culture and reclaim their power. We’re talking about how early conditioning teaches us to disconnect from our needs, diminish ourselves, and spend time, energy, and money trying to be “enough.” This is about more than food. This is about how sh...

You had your best month ever... so why did it still feel like failure? I’m breaking down the subtle, expensive pattern of self-diminishment, and why so many high-achieving women struggle to feel successful even when the results are there. This episode kicks off our February series on the power of how we relate to ourselves. And we’re starting with your inner voice. I’ll show you how small critique...

If you've ever wondered why you're overwhelmed, overspending, or constantly cleaning up, this episode is your wake-up call. I’m joined by my dear friend Katy Joy Wells, host of The Maximize Minimalist , to unpack why clutter isn’t just a mess. It’s a massive energy leak that impacts your mental health, your money, and your ability to feel at home in your own life. We’re breaking down wha...

Just because you’re doing something doesn’t mean you’re moving forward. When your actions are driven by fear, stress, or scarcity, they might feel useful, but they’re actually keeping you stuck. In this final episode of the directional focus series, I’m breaking down the difference between aligned action and fear-based busyness. I’ll show you how to tell if your energy is going toward the thing yo...
