Ep 02: Your Money Story Started Before Your First Paycheck — Here's How to Rewrite It

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:00:00 -0500

What if the financial anxiety you carry isn't actually yours? What if it's borrowed — from your parents, your childhood home, the money story you absorbed before you ever earned a dollar?

In this episode of Pay Day Club, money and career coach Jenn Jamali breaks down why so many high-earning women still don't feel financially safe — and what it actually takes to rewrite the money story running your decisions.

This one is for you if you freelance, consult, or run your own business, and you've ever felt like your income anxiety is out of proportion to your actual income.

You'll walk away with:

The three most common inherited money stories and how to spot yours
Why scarcity mindset isn't irrational — and why it doesn't have to be permanent
How language shifts (like "I can't afford that" → "that's not a priority") change your financial behavior
The connection between nervous system regulation and money decisions
A simple journaling exercise to start rewriting your money story today

Jenn also shares her own story — from watching her immigrant mother lose a job, to negotiating a contract rate from $65 to $85/hr, to moving to Colombia and redefining what rich means to her.
