423: Bankruptcy, Healing And Starting Over
On this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Deora Clairé—Digital Marketing Professional, author, speaker, and Christian bilingual singer-songwriter—for a deeply honest conversation about rebuilding your life after financial and personal setbacks. Deora opens up about her mental health crisis during the pandemic, the experience of filing for bankruptcy at 26, and the reality of starting over from the ground up—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. She shares how she moved from that low point into a high-earning corporate role while intentionally rebuilding her savings, paying down debt, and restoring her credit. Through her story, Deora offers powerful insight into choosing consistency over perfection, releasing financial shame, and finding the confidence to begin again—no matter where you're starting from. What Deora Discussed on the Podcast: Her experience navigating a mental health crisis and how it impacted her finances. What filing for bankruptcy at 26 was really like—emotionally and financially. The reality that habits don't automatically change after debt discharge. The turning point that sparked both mental and financial transformation. What choosing consistency over perfection looks like in real life. Mindset shifts needed to break cycles of debt and negative net worth. Letting go of financial shame and rebuilding confidence.

421: $80K in Debt to Homeowner: Angela's Financial Transformation
On this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Angela Weikel, founder of The Moneta Academy, for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to rebuild your finances while navigating burnout, service work, and real life pressure. She shares her personal journey from being nearly $80,000 in debt and emotionally overwhelmed to achieving financial stability, paying off her car, and becoming a homeowner. Through a nervous-system–informed lens, Angela reframes financial stress and burnout not as personal failure, but as a response to systemic strain, and offers a more compassionate, sustainable path to building clarity, confidence, and peace with money. Angela is deeply committed to supporting the helpers—case managers, advocates, and system leaders—who carry so much for others, often at the expense of themselves. What Angela Discussed on the Podcast: Her background and what led her to join Clever Girl Finance. What life felt like while carrying nearly $80,000 in debt—emotionally and financially. The decision to stop staying stuck and take control of her finances. Building a relationship with money rooted in clarity, consistency, and self-trust. The specific tools and frameworks that helped her pay off debt. What made her financial transformation sustainable—not just temporary. The difference between financial stability and true financial peace. How goal setting helped turn intention into real, measurable progress. Challenging the belief that financial stability isn't possible for everyone. How her personal journey now shapes the way she supports others through The Moneta Academy. Advice for women who pour into others but feel financially and emotionally drained themselves. Her clever girl superpower. Where to learn more about her work and offerings.
