In this episode of The Art of BEing Unstoppable, Vicki sits down with Becky Spence for a grounded and empowering conversation about money, clarity, and self-trust.
Many women avoid looking at their finances because money conversations can feel overwhelming or stressful. Becky shares how avoiding your numbers often creates more anxiety — unexpected expenses, surprise tax bills, and uncertainty about what’s actually possible.
Instead, Becky encourages women to approach their finances with curiosity and clarity. When you understand where your money is going, you gain more options, more confidence in your decisions, and a deeper sense of financial peace. Whether you’re running a business, building a side hustle, or managing a household, Becky shares how creating a simple rhythm around your finances helps you be intentional with your income and ensure your dollars go where they matter most.
The conversation also explores the power of pivoting with purpose. Becky reframes pivots not as failure, but as awareness — a sign that you're paying attention to what is and isn’t working. She shares her practical “checkpoint” method, which helps women pause, reflect, and make aligned changes without making reactive decisions that disrupt their life or finances.
This episode is an honest and supportive conversation about building confidence with money, trusting yourself with financial decisions, and giving yourself permission to adjust your path as life evolves.
