   Ep #21: Starting Over, Finding Yourself: Lorraine Murphy on Identity, Separation & Rebuilding Your Life

   This episode is such an honest and powerful conversation about what it really looks like to start over. I’m joined by Lorraine Murphy, who shares her journey through separation, identity shifts, and rebuilding her life in a way that actually feels aligned. We talk about:• The pressure so many of us feel to “fit in” and how it disconnects us from who we really are• What happens when you realize your life doesn’t feel right anymore… even if it looks good on the outside• Navigating separation, motherhood, and new relationships all at once• The messy, emotional side of rebuilding your identity• Simple but powerful tools like journaling, therapy, and setting boundaries This conversation is for any woman who feels like she’s in the middle of a transition… or quietly questioning if there’s more for her. You’re not alone in that feeling - and you’re not behind.

   EP#20: Why not us? Being the Breadwinner and Rewriting the Story with Dr. Michelle Dickie

   What does it really mean to be the breadwinner, emotionally, practically, and quietly, when you’re also raising a family? In this episode of Friends with Money, I’m joined by my friend Dr. Michelle Dickie, a chiropractor, mom of four, and the primary income earner in her family. Michelle shares how stepping into the breadwinner role wasn’t a single moment, but a gradual shift, one that came with pressure, responsibility, and a lot of unspoken expectations. We talk about the mental load that comes with being “the responsible one,” the guilt many women carry around work and motherhood, and the narratives we’ve inherited about who should be earning what. We also talk about partnership, flexibility, and how Michelle and her husband navigated changing roles at home, especially during the intense tween and teen years. And we explore how she’s now teaching her kids about money in a way that feels open, grounded, and shame-free. This is an honest conversation about carrying financial responsibility without burning out, and about asking a powerful question more women deserve to ask: Why not us? If you’re the breadwinner, becoming one, or quietly holding it all together, I think you’ll feel seen here.
