Money Matters: How to Take Control of Your Money Without Feeling Overwhelmed with Jamie Trull

Today we’re talking about money.

Budgeting. Saving. Investing. Debt. Mindset.

But not in the “cut your Starbucks treat and buy a house” kind of way.

We’re talking about it in a way that actually feels achievable, empowering, and grounded in real life.

Because no matter where you are in your career, your business, or your life, money stress has a way of creeping in and taking over when you don’t have a system and when you’re avoiding it altogether.

In this episode of Quick Before You Forget, I sit down with financial literacy coach, CPA, and author Jamie Troll to talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface when it comes to money.

We get into:

why so many smart, capable people feel behind
how avoidance keeps us stuck longer than we realize
the simple shift of giving every dollar a job
and how money can actually become a tool for good, not something to fear

This conversation isn’t just about finances.

It’s about taking your power back. It’s about getting honest. It’s about building a life that actually feels like yours.

If you’ve been doing everything “right” but still feel off… this is a good place to start.
