“Avoiding money doesn’t make you safe—it keeps you small.”

What if the problem isn’t your finances… but the story you’ve been telling yourself about money?

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of The Girl Out of Order Podcast, Christine Gale opens up about her lifelong relationship with money—marked by shame, avoidance, and the belief that there would never be enough—and how that story quietly shaped her choices, her confidence, and her freedom.

If you’ve ever said:

• “I’m not good with money”
• “I don’t understand finances”
• “I’ll deal with it later”

…this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth: You don’t have a money problem—you have a money identity problem.

This is not a financial strategy episode. This is an identity shift.

We walk through 3 simple, actionable steps to help you:

• Identify and break the unconscious beliefs shaping your financial life
• Rewrite your internal narrative around money (without forcing fake positivity)
• Take one aligned action to begin building confidence, clarity, and control

Through storytelling, real-life examples from her work as a family law attorney, and her own journey from avoidance to ownership, Christine invites you to stop playing small and start engaging with your financial life in a whole new way.

Because money isn’t just about numbers.

Money is freedom.
Money is access.
Money is choice.
Money is impact.

And avoiding it? That doesn’t make you safe. It keeps you small.

“Your body will whisper… until it forces you to stop.” Lauren Wu

In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Wu — attorney, former ballerina, and pulmonary embolism survivor — whose life changed in an instant during a work training when hidden blood clots were discovered in both lungs.

Her recovery was long and brutal: months in a wheelchair, relearning to walk, and rebuilding her mind and nervous system from the ground up.

Out of that season, Lauren created Heart Lead Leadership, a framework redefining how we lead, work, and live — rooted in humanity, alignment, and trust.

This conversation will challenge everything you think about stress, success, and resilience — and invite you to rewrite your story from the inside out.

Key Takeaways:

• Burnout is often a systems issue — not a personal failure
• Your identity can be rewritten, even after crisis
• True leadership starts with humanity, not performance

"You don't have to know the whole story to refuse the one being written for you."

What if the story that was written for you isn't the story you have to live? In this powerful episode, Christine kicks off the Rewriting phase of Season One with a raw, honest, and deeply personal reminder: wherever you are, whatever you've been through — this is not the end.

Drawing from her own journey of childhood neglect and abuse, public professional humiliation, marital betrayal, and the challenges of raising children through mental health crises, Christine makes the case that your trauma is not your identity — and your past is not your final word.

We explore 5 powerful Steps to Rewriting Your Narrative:

1. Interrogate the story — Is it actually true, or was it given to you by people in pain?
2. Separate your identity from your experiences — You are not what happened to you, and you are not the worst thing you've ever done
3. Look for the gifts — Even strangely wrapped ones, even the ones that take time to find
4. Write new evidence — Every act of courage and self-respect builds a new proof of who you're becoming
5. Stay a student of yourself — Stay curious, keep evolving, because the you that got you here isn't always the you that gets you there
