Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and those navigating major life transitions like divorce, reinvention, and rediscovery. If you're ready to shed old roles and finally put yourself first, you're in the right place.
In this episode, Wendy is joined by author and financial coach Veronica Deraleau, who paid off over $100,000 of debt in just three years, and is now teaching others how to do the same. Their conversation digs into the emotional weight of debt, the mindset shifts required for lasting change, and how reclaiming your financial power often starts with rewriting the stories you’ve been told (or told yourself) about money.
They explore:
- What it takes to break free from the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle (without shame or deprivation)
- How to rebuild trust in yourself and your financial goals
- Why healing your relationship with money is often the key to freedom, alignment, and self-worth
If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode or wondered if real financial freedom is possible for you, this episode is proof that it is.
