The Money Remix: Own Your Financial Power

The Money Remix: Own Your Financial Power Guest: Stephanie McCullough Website: sofiafinancial.com Description: Let’s talk money—without the shame spiral. In this episode of Gen X Remix, I sit down with Stephanie McCullough, founder of Sofia Financial and co-host of the Take Back Retirement podcast. She’s not your typical financial advisor—she’s one of Investopedia’s Top 10 Financial Advisors of 2023 and she’s on a mission to help women, especially those navigating retirement solo, feel confident with their cash. Stephanie breaks down why money isn’t just about math (hallelujah), how to find the right financial professional (no more dad-talk energy), and why your financial habits don’t define your worth. We get real about money shame, retirement fears, and how Gen X women can ditch the judgment and take back control of their finances—no spreadsheets required. If you’ve ever cringed at the thought of talking to a financial advisor or felt “behind” when it comes to your money…this is the warm, wise, and slightly spicy remix you didn’t know you needed. 🎧 Pop in those earbuds, grab a journal, and get ready to feel seen (and smarter). What We Cover: Stephanie’s remix story and how she went from “I can’t do this” to running her own firm Why money is emotional—not just numbers The financial blind spots that trip up women making career pivots Science-backed reasons why your brain makes money mistakes (it’s not just you!) How to actually find a financial advisor you trust Why judgment has no place in your money life The one step you can take today to feel more financially in control Stephanie’s Mic-Drop Advice: “The numbers aren’t judging you. That shame? That’s not coming from your 401(k)—it’s coming from stories we picked up along the way.” 🔗 Resources & Links: Connect with Stephanie: sofiafinancial.com Check out her podcast: Take Back Retirement Follow on Instagram: @sofiafinancial 🎁 Ready to Remix Your Career Too?
