Financial Mission
Welcome to the Financial Mission podcast, where we empower women entrepreneurs and moms to take control of their finances, achieve business success, and create a life they love. Hosted by Jess Wayne, a former burnt-out nurse turned inspiring coach, this podcast is your go-to resource for financial wisdom, business strategies, and personal development tips tailored for women.
Hi, I'm Jess Wayne. After 13 years in nursing, I found myself overwhelmed, stressed, and trapped in a cycle of people-pleasing. My turning point came when I decided to take charge of my finances and paid off $100,000 of debt in less than two years while healing from a mental health crisis. This journey transformed my life and ignited my passion for helping other women break free from financial stress and achieve their dreams.
Today, as a financial and business coach, I leverage my personal experiences and proven strategies to guide women entrepreneurs and moms through their own financial journeys. My goal is to inspire you, provide practical advice, and support you in building a financially secure and fulfilling life.
In each episode, you'll find:
- Expert Interviews: Insights from industry leaders, successful entrepreneurs, and financial experts who share their wisdom and experiences.

#104 What I Wish I Knew About Money 10 Years Ago
10 years ago, my husband and I thought we were doing okay financially. Compared to the average American, we weren’t drowning in credit card or student loan debt—but we still weren’t where we wanted to be. We were living with $100K of consumer debt, making minimum payments on two vehicle loans and a camper, and thinking we’d figure it all out someday. But deep down, I knew we weren’t truly financially secure.
Fast forward to today, and everything has changed. By creating a financial plan, getting rid of debt, and taking control of our money, we’ve built the kind of financial freedom I never thought was possible.
In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest money lessons I wish I had known a decade ago—so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did. We’ll talk about:
✅ How budgeting actually gives you freedom—not limitations
✅ Why paying off high-interest debt is the best investment you can make
✅ The importance of an emergency fund (because life happens!)
✅ How investing early—even small amounts—can completely change your future
✅ Why money should be a tool, not a source of stress
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by money, stuck in debt, or unsure where to start, this episode is for you. Learn from my mistakes and start making smarter financial choices today!
