What if your money struggles aren’t about numbers, but about the deeper stories you’ve carried from childhood?

In this episode of Real Money, Real Life™, Linda Grizely talks with Kate Juozaitis — licensed therapist turned transformational coach — about the emotional roots of money. Together they explore how trauma, identity, and personality patterns shape our financial lives and what it takes to break free.

We talk about:

• Why “success without purpose still feels empty”
• How money archetypes reveal hidden financial patterns
• The impact of trauma on women’s money stories
• What it takes to balance money personalities and live with alignment

About Kate: After 20 years as a licensed therapist, Kate pivoted into transformational coaching, combining neuroscience, purpose coaching, money mindset mastery, and real-life strategy. Through her company Lift As You Climb Coaching, she helps women who appear to “have it all” but feel stuck, lost, or unfulfilled. Her mission: to help women live and lead on purpose in their work, relationships, and finances.
