Money is Not Your Problem
If you've ever said "I'm just bad with money" — this podcast is for you.
Money Is Not Your Problem is for capable, hardworking women who are tired of starting over, avoiding their numbers, and wondering why nothing seems to stick. The truth is, financial struggle rarely comes down to math. It comes down to patterns, beliefs, and the stories we carry about what we deserve or what's even possible for us.
Each episode gives you something real: a financial concept explained simply, a mindset shift worth sitting with, and a practical step you can take before the week is out.
I'm Madeleine Strasburg — Financial and Life Coach, former math teacher, and founder of Strasburg Coaching. With a Master of Education, over 20 years of teaching personal finance, and certifications from Ramsey Solutions and The Life Coach School, I've worked with women at every stage of the financial journey. I know what it looks like to be smart and responsible yet still feel completely stuck with money.
This podcast is built on one core belief: money management is a learnable skill. Not a personality trait. Not a moral score. A skill — and you can build it.
