E040 — Stop, look, adjust: your money feedback loop with Liz Carrillo
In this insightful and warmly candid episode of Good in Motion, Juliette welcomes Liz Carrillo, an operations consultant and money coach who shares her personal journey from financial uncertainty to empowerment. Together, they dismantle the taboos around money, revealing how honest conversations about finances can bring clarity, confidence, and control—especially for overwhelmed women entrepreneurs navigating the delicate balance between business and personal life.
Liz opens up about her early challenges with debt, the importance of developing a healthy money mindset, and the practical steps she took to create a personalized financial plan she calls a “money map.” Their conversation touches on the realities of transitioning into entrepreneurship, the necessity of planning for uncertainty, and the power of reframing financial language to create a more supportive relationship with money.
Throughout the episode, Juliette and Liz offer grounded wisdom on honouring individual needs and timelines, embracing the slow and steady path to financial well-being, and celebrating milestones in ways that nourish the soul rather than deplete the wallet. This episode is a compassionate invitation to slow down, reflect, and build a money story that truly supports the life and business you want to create.
“Money wasn't something that we talked at home. And in a way, it was a taboo topic.”
