Money talk without the shame. In this episode, financial educator and stylist Misty Jane shares how to feel safe and confident with your finances even with an irregular schedule. We unpack why traditional budgeting advice can fall apart for stylists, how to plan around cancellations, and the simple framework that helps you build security before you hit the big goal.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why irregular income makes traditional budgets hard and what to do instead
• How to separate self-worth from your prices and income
• A nervous system friendly way to handle no-shows and last-minute gaps
• The discipline → results → motivation loop and how to use it
• Misty’s Cash Confidence Stylist Framework:
• • Reveal what is really happening with your money
• • Rewire the story so you drop the shame and make cleaner choices
• • Rebuild with a simple spending plan you can actually follow
• Practical cues that you might have more money than you think
• How to create time freedom without sliding back into scarcity

Key takeaways:

• Awareness is step one, acceptance is step two, choice comes after
• Plan from your baseline income and treat anything above as extra
• Spend on what you value and cut what creates buyer’s remorse
• Money is a relationship and you can build trust with it

Quotes to pull:

• “Awareness is step one, acceptance is step two.”
• “If you don’t know how to handle a hundred dollars, you won’t handle ten thousand.”
• “It is not about spending less, it is about wasting less.”
• “Discipline creates results and results create motivation.”
