Linda Grizely is a financial educator and motivational speaker on a mission to help women stop putting themselves last - in life, financially, and emotionally. She’s the go-to voice in women’s financial empowerment, known for helping audiences shift their mindset, reclaim their worth, and take control of their money with confidence and clarity.


Based in Northern Illinois, Linda blends her background in financial planning with lived experience, soulful honesty, and just enough Gen X sarcasm to keep it real. After becoming a single mom at 16 and later rebuilding her life post-divorce, Linda knows what it’s like to feel behind - and what it takes to start again.


Her personal journey and her work with others led her to create MeMoney™, a mindset-first framework that flips traditional budgeting from guilt and scarcity to clarity and self-prioritization. That approach became the foundation for her signature talk "The MeMoney™ Method: You Can’t Build a Life You Love on a Budget You Hate".


Linda's approach is rooted in both practical tools and emotional truth, offering a refreshing approach to financial growth that feels personal, possible, and sustainable.


It’s not just about helping women get their money and lives “right”- it’s about helping them feel seen, supported, and in charge of their story. Because confidence with money isn’t just about math. It’s about mindset, clarity, and finally believing you’re worth investing in.


As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional with a master’s degree in financial services, and a career background that spans holistic financial planning, business strategy, leadership, marketing, human resources, nonprofit consulting, association leadership, and sales, she brings a wide-lens perspective to personal finance - one that understands both the numbers and the nuance. Linda is also a Maxwell Leadership® Certified Team, coach, speaker, and trainer.


Linda has been a contributor to articles on ThinkAdvisor and CNN, is a popular podcast guest, has earned recognition in the Circle of Excellence by Women in Financial Services (2023 & 2024), is the recipient of the Women of Achievement and Charlotte Danstrom Award from Women in McHenry County (2019), and is a contributing author to the Amazon Bestseller, Lessons From Thought Leaders (2024).

Linda was incredible on our Financial Health episode. She speaks to the heart of what so many women feel but rarely say out loud. With wisdom, warmth, and zero judgment, she helped us explore how money and self-worth are deeply connected and how healing one helps heal the other. Her work is transformational, and her presence on the show was a gift.

R.N., Podcast Host, PodMatch

Linda is an amazing guest who made us reflect about how our management of finances is a mirror to how we see ourselves, the inner dialogue and beliefs that we use to make decisions and how we can empower ourselves by having a healthy relationship with money.

Linda Grizely was a panelist and speaker at an event I hosted at The Boardroom in Libertyville for Empowering Women of Lake County. Linda's presentation was about money mindset, and the audience was completely captivated with her message. Money Mindset is a new concept for many, and Linda did an incredible job of explaining it and encouraging women to consider how their mindset is affecting their lives. Linda is a powerful speaker who can simplify the message to ensure everyone in the audience could learn and put Linda's tips to use! I personally learned a lot from her presentation, and I absolutely will invite her back to speak again!
