If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by student loans or unsure whether you can build wealth at the same time, this conversation will give you clarity, perspective, and actionable next steps.

In this episode of Dr. Sev Talks Money, I sit down with financial advisor Brenton Harrison to explore one of the biggest financial tensions many women face today. We discuss why income alone does not guarantee financial security, how childhood money experiences shape the way we handle debt and wealth, and why building reserves while paying down debt is not optional, it’s necessary.

Money is deeply emotional, and for many of us, it’s tied to fear, responsibility, and the pressure to get it right.

In this episode titled, Money and Freedom to Live the Life You’re Called to Live, Dr. Sev and her guest, Matt Morizio, explore what it looks like to move from managing money out of fear to using money as a tool for freedom. The conversation examines how faith, financial decisions, and real-life responsibility intersect, especially in seasons when outcomes aren’t guaranteed.

You’ll hear a thoughtful discussion about releasing the need for control, making high-probability money decisions, and learning to trust your next step even when the numbers don’t fully make sense yet. At the heart of it all is a question many of us wrestle with: how do we steward money while still trusting the life we’re called to live?

If you’ve ever felt caught between being “responsible” with money and honoring your calling, this episode offers perspective, clarity, and room to breathe.

Matt Morizio is the founder of Reconstructing Wealth and a financial advisor focused on helping people change their relationship with money.

After spending five seasons in professional baseball and experiencing an abrupt career ending, Matt navigated financial uncertainty, entrepreneurship, and seasons that required deep faith and trust. His work centers on moving from fear and scarcity to clarity and freedom—so money becomes a tool that supports life, not the thing that controls it.
