I Make Good Money… So Why Do I Still Feel Broke - Bougie Budgeting for High-Earning Women with the Budget Besties

You make good money… so why do you still feel broke?

If you’re a high-earning woman who looks successful on paper but still feels behind financially, this episode is for you.

In this eye-opening conversation, Rebecca Whitman sits down with Budget Besties—Shana & Vanessa, best friends, business partners, and master financial coaches helping women stop wondering “Where did my money go?” and start building wealth with clarity and confidence.

They reveal why overspending isn’t the real issue, why budgeting feels emotional (even when you’re smart and capable), and how disorganization—not discipline—is quietly draining your bank account. Most importantly, they share how to create a simple, automatic system that allows you to save, spend, and invest without sacrificing your bougie lifestyle.

This episode proves you don’t need to hustle harder, restrict yourself, or give up travel, dinners, or luxury to feel financially secure—you just need the right system.

✨ WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM THIS EPISODE

• Why making more money doesn’t automatically create financial peace

• The real reason budgeting feels emotional, overwhelming, and exhausting

• How disorganization quietly leaks money every single month

• A simple automatic system that builds wealth for you

Why Aging Is Optional: Rewriting the Rules of Fitness, Strength & Longevity

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, fitness expert Timothy Ward challenges one of the most damaging myths of modern society—that getting older automatically means getting weaker, slower, and less capable.

Drawing from decades of hands-on experience coaching adults across multiple age groups, Timothy breaks down why so many people are chronically unfit despite having more access to fitness information than ever before. We explore what actually happens to the body after 50, why “acting your age” is a cultural lie, and how strength training—especially for women over 50—is non-negotiable for independence, confidence, and long-term health.

Timothy also explains the concept of fitness momentum, the most overlooked physical marker of longevity, and how adequate fitness directly impacts brain health, including cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s risk.

As the creator of the Fitness Quadrant System, Timothy has developed a framework that resonates deeply with people over 45 because it meets people where they are—focusing on sustainability, function, and real-life performance rather than extremes. His work is further explored in his book, The GOAT Within, which challenges readers to redefine their limits and unlock lifelong physical and mental strength.

Overwhelmed? Take a Breath and Break That Stuff Down

Lately, my life has been one big project—moving parts everywhere, big transitions coming, and a to-do list that looks like a CVS receipt. Between preparing to take my practice fully virtual and planning the next chapter of my life, there have been plenty of moments where I’ve thought, “holy shit, this is too much.”

So in this episode, I’m keeping it brutally real about how I deal when everything starts to feel overwhelming. The trick? You stop trying to swallow the whole damn elephant. You take it one bite at a time. Break it down, piece by piece, until it’s actually doable.

Because here’s the truth: overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re failing—it just means you’re human. I’ll share how I’ve been breaking my own chaos into smaller wins, how I stop myself from spiraling, and why control starts with clarity, not perfection.

If you’re staring down a massive project, a big change, or just life being life—this episode is your permission to slow down, get organized, and remember: you don’t have to do it all at once. Just start with one small step and keep going.

Why You Stop Wanting Sex With the Person You Love (And How to Fix It) with Diane Mueller

Passion doesn’t disappear because something is wrong with you.

It disappears because desire requires different fuel than love.

In this provocative and deeply honest conversation, Rebecca Whitman sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller—doctor of naturopathy, libido expert, and bestselling author—to unpack why sex often fades in long-term relationships and what actually brings desire back.

This episode dismantles the myth that low libido means something is broken. Instead, we explore how hormones, stress, emotional safety, and modern burnout quietly shut desire down—and how to reignite passion without shame, pressure, or blowing up your life.

If you love your partner but miss wanting them, this conversation will change how you see desire forever.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

🔥 Why passion naturally declines in long-term monogamy

🧠 The real root causes of low libido (hormones, stress, burnout & emotional safety)

✨ How to create novelty, turn-on, and erotic energy inside monogamy
