Most of us were taught that talking about money is rude, dangerous or selfish. So we keep quiet, guess in the dark and then blame ourselves when things feel hard. In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, Meg digs into how that silence around money actually serves the systems that benefit from our confusion, not us or our communities. She looks at the family stories, cultural expectations and shame scripts that keep us from asking questions, sharing real numbers or telling the truth about what t...

Who decided “high net worth” starts at a certain dollar amount in an investment account, and why do so few of those definitions include us in the picture? In this episode, Meg takes apart the idea of being “high net worth” and asks a bigger, better question instead: what does wealth actually mean for our communities? She looks at how the financial industry use labels like “mass affluent” and “HNW” to decide who gets access and support, and how those labels were built on stolen land, unpaid la...

Trying to grow a business when you can’t get to the money you need? That’s not a personal failure—that’s a design feature of our financial system. In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, Meg talks about access to capital: who gets approved, who gets shut out, and why “just build your credit” is a lot more complicated (and biased) than it sounds. Meg walks through the receipts on how banks, credit scores, and venture capital decide who’s “worthy” of funding—often before anyone even looks ...

If you’ve ever been told “if you can’t beat the system, join it” and felt your whole body go NOPE—this one’s for you. Meg digs into a hard truth: most of the systems we move through every day—money, tax, healthcare, education, “justice”—were never designed to make space for us. They were designed to protect wealth, maintain power, and then gaslight us into thinking our struggles are personal failures instead of predictable outcomes of a rigged game. In this episode, you’ll hear how that riggi...

When you hear “DIY entrepreneur,” what do you picture? Because somehow it’s scrappy and admirable for some people, and reckless or “unprofessional” for others. In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, we’re unpacking the double standard baked into entrepreneurship: why marginalized business owners are expected to bootstrap forever, learn everything themselves, and “just Google it,” while others are encouraged (and funded) to outsource, scale, and get support early. We talk about how the glorifi...

In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, we pull back the curtain on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA)—the shiny new “tax relief” law that’s being sold as a gift to families and small business owners… while quietly shoveling billions toward corporations and high-income households. Spoiler: the marketing doesn’t match the math. Meg walks through what actually changed in OBBA. From the SALT cap drama to the child tax credit tweak, she shows you who really wins and who’s getting crumbs. Instea...

Most people would rather talk about sex than talk about their bank account. And honestly? Fair. Because when you don’t know your numbers, looking at them can feel like peeking into a financial jump-scare—you’re bracing for something awful. But here’s the truth: the fear isn’t in the numbers. The fear is in avoiding them. In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, we break down why knowing your numbers isn’t about spreadsheets, shame, or being “good with money.” It’s about liberation. It’s about c...

When you hear the word wealth, who comes to mind? If your answer isn’t you—you’re not alone. In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, we unpack what equitable wealth really means and why reclaiming it is one of the most radical, empowering moves we can make with our money. Because wealth as we know it? It’s not neutral. It’s political, it’s personal, and it’s been intentionally kept out of reach for too many of us for too long. Through real stories and sharp truth-telling, we break down how fi...
