For The Hayters

RIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses late-term stillbirth, medical trauma, and postpartum hemorrhaging.
"I didn't even have to hear the words. I could read it all over her face." Alyssa was 38 weeks pregnant—at the finish line—when the world stopped. In this raw conversation, Alyssa walks us through the devastating loss of her first daughter, Marianna Yvette, and the terrifying medical crisis that followed, leaving Alyssa "knocking on heaven’s door."
We dive deep into the reality of pregnancy after loss—the scans every two weeks, the inability to feel excitement until the baby is crying in your arms, and the bittersweet realization that one child's life only exists because another's ended. This is a story about honoring the dead while fiercely raising the living.

Becky has beef with the word budget.
It feels restrictive. It feels like failure waiting to happen. It feels like getting grounded.
So in this episode of Wallet Therapy, Becky and Alex are flipping the script. We’re retiring the word “budget” and replacing it with something that doesn’t make your nervous system panic: a spending plan.
Inside this episode, we cover:
Why 84% of people “fail” at budgeting (and why that’s not a you problem)
The three-bucket method: Needs, Fun Money (aka the Becky Fund), and Debt/Savings
Why fun money actually helps you reach your savings goals
How to stop the all-or-nothing spiral after one $20 salad
The 10-Second Reset to interrupt impulse spending in real time
Why your spending plan should align with your values — not punish you
This isn’t about tracking your failures.
It’s about planning your freedom.
If you’ve ever started a budget on Monday and emotionally quit by Thursday, this one’s for you.

This episode discusses severe alcoholism, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. Please listen with care.
I sat down with Nicole, a mother of five who lived a "normal" life on the outside while a dark hole was swallowing her from the inside. From her first blackout at thirteen to drinking a Costco-sized handle of vodka every 24 hours, Nicole’s story is a harrowing look at how addiction isolates us from the people we love most—including ourselves.
We dive deep into the moments the world doesn't see: the manipulation, the medical emergencies, and the day Nicole decided it would be better if she simply wasn't here anymore. But the pills didn't work, and what followed was a grueling, beautiful, and 180-degree transformation. This isn't just a story about quitting a substance; it’s about a woman who spent years unable to be alone with herself finally learning to love the person she sees in the mirror.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses the sudden loss of a parent and substance abuse recovery.
When Kylie lost her mother unexpectedly in 2024, her life shifted in an instant. She didn't just lose her mom; she became the legal guardian of her teenage brother, Josh. But she wasn't alone. Her husband, Griff, didn't hesitate. Without a formal meeting or a long debate, he stepped into the role of a father figure, proving that family isn't just about biology—it’s about who shows up when the world falls apart.
In this episode, I sit down with Griff to hear the perspective we don't often get: the partner who chooses to take on the "messy" parts of a spouse’s history. From navigating vastly different upbringings to the reality of family therapy and the friction of parenting a teenager while still being "newlyweds," this is a raw look at resilience, loyalty, and what it actually means to be a team.

Welcome to the very first episode of our Wallet Therapy miniseries!

Ever feel like everyone else got the "how to be an adult with money" memo except for you? You’re not alone. In this kickoff episode, sisters Becky and Alex pull back the curtain on their own bank accounts. Becky gets real about her "add to cart" addiction and the overwhelm of looking at a bank statement , while Alex shares how she went from financial chaos to becoming a Finance Coach.

It’s a kitchen-table conversation about our "Money Stories"—the good, the bad, and the expensive. We’re setting the stage to bridge the gap between being totally clueless and finally feeling in control. No shame, no jargon, just two sisters trying to help you (and each other) figure it out.

In this episode, we cover:
- The "Aha!" moments that led to this podcast.
- Alex’s non-judgmental approach to behavior-based coaching.
- How we’re going to survive these episodes without a sisterly blowout.
