In this episode of Aligned Ambition: Authentically Kate, Kate sits down with Shauna Frederick, CPA, FEA — financial literacy educator, entrepreneur, fractional CFO, and co-founder of The Finance Cafe.

Shauna is on a mission to transform the way entrepreneurs, especially women, understand and engage with their finances. As the founder of Frederick OTG and co-host of The Finance Cafe Podcast, she helps business owners move beyond financial overwhelm and build clarity, confidence, and resilience with their numbers.

Together, Kate and Shauna explore:

• The emotional roots behind our financial decisions
• How money stories from childhood shape our business choices
• Why financial avoidance creates stress — and how clarity builds resilience
• The truth about debt, safety, and freedom of choice
• Practical ways entrepreneurs can build financial confidence

This conversation is honest, grounding, and empowering. If you’ve ever felt unsure about your numbers or hesitant to ask financial questions, this episode will remind you that financial resilience is learnable — and you are not alone.
