Women, Wealth & Why No One Taught Us This with Cleo Nedd

Women, Wealth & Why No One Taught Us This with Cleo Nedd

Author: Polly Lavarello January 23, 2026 Duration: 50:13

I was genuinely excited to record this one because money isn’t just numbers, it’s identity, safety and nervous system stuff we’re rarely taught to look at.

In this conversation with Cleo Nedd, we talk about why so many women can make money but feel strangely uncomfortable holding onto it, and how that links back to money trauma, family patterns and being one of the first generations really building wealth on our own terms.

Cleo helps high achieving women stop endlessly earning and start building real wealth. She’s a financial coach and money trauma specialist who blends money psychology with practical wealth strategy, so your money actually starts working harder for you.

We talk paying yourself without guilt, investing as a habit rather than a personality type, and building financial confidence when you’re self employed and cash flow isn’t always predictable. This episode is grounding, expansive and quietly powerful.

Highlights:

(02:40) Why women are the first generation really learning how to build wealth

(07:36) How childhood money stories quietly shape what feels safe now

(15:43) The emotional load of paying yourself properly from your business

(21:50) What to do when you have money sitting there and no clear plan

(31:48) Why strategy only works if your identity can hold it

(44:53) Investing as a habit, not a personality trait
