Money & Legacy: Debt, Wealth, Family & Career
Money shouldn’t feel this overwhelming — especially when you’re doing everything “right.”
Money & Legacy is a financial clarity podcast for capable, high-functioning families who make good money but still feel stressed, uncertain, or stuck when it comes to their finances.
Hosted by Laura Sexton, Money & Legacy Coach and founder of Accelerate Your Legacy, this podcast helps families move from financial overwhelm to clarity — and from clarity to confidence — so they can build a legacy on purpose.
Many families today aren’t struggling because they lack income.
They’re struggling because they’re drowning in information.
Between podcasts, gurus, social media advice, and conflicting opinions, it’s easy to feel frozen — unsure who to trust, which system to follow, or what step actually matters next. When everything feels important, progress stalls.
This show exists to quiet the noise.
Think of Money & Legacy like a conversation with a trusted friend over coffee — where big financial ideas are distilled, simplified, and made tangible for real life with kids, schedules, faith, and long-term goals.
Laura brings both lived experience and professional training to the mic. She and her husband paid off $372,347 in debt, and for more than five years she has coached hundreds of families to gain clarity, reduce financial stress, and move forward with confidence.
Laura is trained in the Dave Ramsey principles of budgeting and debt elimination, as well as Ken Coleman’s clarity-driven approach to decision-making and purpose. Her coaching style is forward-focused, practical, and intentionally impartial — she does not sell financial products or earn commissions — so every recommendation is made solely in her clients’ best interest.
Most episodes are solo teaching conversations, designed to help you:
- Cut through financial overwhelm and gain clarity
- Build a budget that gives permission, not pressure
- Pay off debt with confidence and direction
- Make calm, values-aligned money decisions
- Create simple systems that work for real family life
- Lead money conversations with confidence at home
Occasionally, Laura brings real families onto the show for coaching conversations, where listeners can hear real questions, real numbers, and real breakthroughs — and yes, you can apply to be coached on the show. Select interviews with thoughtful leaders also support listeners on their financial journey without shame or conflicting advice.
At its core, Money & Legacy is about transformation.
This podcast helps you move from:
Overwhelm → Clarity → Confidence
From reaction to ownership.
From stress to peace.
From survival to legacy.
As you keep listening, money will feel calmer.
Your goals will feel clearer.
And your confidence will grow as you lead your finances with intention.
If you’re ready for money to feel simpler, lighter, and aligned with the life you’re building, you’re in the right place.

Hello and welcome to the Accelerate Your Legacy podcast. I'm Laura Sexton, your trusted financial coach and money mindset specialist. Join me as we explore the world of money and money mindset while also paving the way for a lasting legacy that extends far beyond money. Together we'll eliminate stress, amplify freedom, and ensure you stop paying for your past so you can start saving for your future. If you're seeking peace in your finances, more margin in your budget, and a legacy that inspires generations to come, you're in the right place. Happy Thanksgiving accelerators. Welcome to this very, very short episode of the podcast on this day of celebration that is focused specifically on things we are thankful for. I wanted to talk about gratitude and how it affects the body. You see, a person's mindset also affects the biochemistry inside of your body. This seems crazy, but your mindset affects your body affects your outcome. So, there was a study done at UC Davis that, the associate Robert and he wrote that gratitude blocks toxic emotions, such as envy, resentment, regret and depression, which can destroy our happiness. But here is the crazy thing. My friend, the practice of gratitude has a dramatic and lasting effect on the person's life. Where it lowers blood pressure, improves immune function, and facilitates more efficient sleep. Gratitude can reduce lifetime risk of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders. And it's also a key resiliency factor in the prevention of suicide. My friends. It is very important to be grateful, not only for your money, but also for the other areas of your life. It affects the biochemistry in your body. So be grateful. Please, please, please be grateful today. Think about it this way. The way your brain receives gratitude, it's kind of like having a parking spot in your brain. The same receptor in your brain that accepts gratitude is also the same receptor that accepts. Depression regret and envy. If you park your grateful car into this parking spot, the other things can't get in the envy. The resentment can't get in. So when you feel these negative emotions, stop and be grateful because it takes those negative emotions out of that receptor and puts in gratitude, puts in that happy feeling that lowers cholesterol and reduces stress. I want you to sit down on this day of gratitude. I want you to sit down and write down 7 things that you are grateful for and if you are up for an additional challenge, I would love to see if you can fill an entire page full of things that you're grateful for. What I'm going to do is anybody that sends me in a list of things they are grateful for, you don't have to show me all of it. It could be blurred out if you don't want me to see all of the specifics, but write down the things you're grateful for. And if you will send me in a list, the person whose list is the longest. I'm going to send you something I'm going to take money out of my own pocket and send you a gift because you've taken the time to be so grateful. I am incredibly grateful to you. I am so thankful that you are here and you are listening to this podcast. I hope actually that you aren't listening to this on actual Thanksgiving and that you have time with your friends and your family, but. I'm so thankful that you're listening at all. I hope that you have an absolutely lovely day. Happy Thanksgiving, friends. Christmas is right around the corner. I look forward to talking to you again soon. Go out and make a difference.
