#163 - The Me Money Method: Behavioral Budgeting Without the Guilt — with Linda Grizely

Money advice tends to break down in one predictable place: the messy middle between knowing what you should do and actually doing it this week. That's where Linda Grizely shines.Linda is a financial coach, speaker, and podcast host who took a winding path into financial services. She brings a rare mix of empathy and practicality for people who feel behind, ashamed, or priced out of traditional financial planning.We talk about what she learned in sales-driven environments, why advice-only and coaching can better serve everyday households, and how meeting people where they are changes everything. Linda shares how her own life experiences shaped her mission to help the people many advisors overlook, especially clients without the assets for an AUM relationship or the budget for a full fee-only plan. The through-line is simple: clear education, no jargon, and systems that make progress feel possible.Then we get into her Me Money Method, a behavioral approach to budgeting and cash flow that turns gray-area spending into an intentional container. You will hear the story that inspired it, how it reduces guilt, improves communication between couples, and creates better choices without shaming lattes, shoes, golf trips, or vacations. Linda also breaks down five money personality types and how advisors can listen for cues to tailor strategies people will actually follow.If you want a realistic way to track spending, build money habits, and lower money stress, hit play.
