From Side Hustler to CEO: Why I Had to Learn My Numbers 🎯
A Conversation with Erin Gray on the “Your Money, Your Rules” Podcast
If you know me, you know I’m not a numbers girl by nature. But wow—what a shift happens when you finally stop avoiding your finances and start owning them. 💥
I recently had the chance to sit down with Erin Gray, the brilliant financial wellbeing coach behind the Your Money, Your Rules podcast. The title of the episode says it all: “Why Financial Literacy is a Must if You Want to Lead Your Business Like a CEO.”
And let me tell you—it got real. 🎙️
In our conversation, I shared my personal story of how getting serious about QuickBooks and understanding taxes changed way more than just my spreadsheets. It changed the way I see myself.
Here’s a peek at what we covered:
🔸 What happens when you stop outsourcing your power and actually learn your numbers
🔸 Why “just hiring a bookkeeper” isn’t the same as taking ownership
🔸 The sneaky ways financial avoidance shows up—and how to move past it
🔸 The confidence boost that comes from understanding your business finances
🔸 How shifting from side-hustle mode to CEO energy changes everything
And Erin? She’s not your average money coach. She’s like the financially savvy bestie you wish you had in your corner years ago. Her approach is practical and joyful—and trust me, she knows how to make talking about money feel fun. 🙌
Whether you’re running a business or just trying to feel more secure in your financial life, I think you’ll find this episode super relatable and empowering.
🧠Financial literacy isn’t just about math—it’s about mindset.
💪 It’s not just about confidence—it’s about control.
👑 And it’s not about being “good with money”—it’s about being the CEO of your own damn life.
