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.
Subscribe to Money & Legacy so you don’t miss an episode — and share it with a friend you want to see gain clarity, confidence, and a legacy that lasts.

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. Hey Accelerators and welcome back to Accelerate Your Legacy. Just so you know, this podcast name is changing and you get to have some say in what that changes to. But that is a thing for Instagram. Today we are talking about gratitude, not just because it is Thanksgiving, but because gratitude is a powerful tool to transform the way that we manage our money, our time and our other resources. This will be a short and sweet episode because let's face it, we've all got turkey waiting or maybe leftovers, depending on when you're listening to this, but take a moment to tune in and I promise it will be worth it. Here's the thing: gratitude shifts our focus. Instead of dwelling on what we don't have, Gratitude helps us see the abundance in what we do have, and when we're content, it becomes easier to make wise, intentional choices with our money and our time. Think about it. When you're grateful for the car you already own, you're much less tempted to take on unnecessary debt for a brand new one. And when you're thankful for the food on your table, you're less likely to waste money eating out all the time. Gratitude leads to contentment and contentment helps us live within our means, but it doesn't stop at money. Gratitude helps us steward our time better, too. Instead of constantly chasing more, more work, more activities, more stuff, and trust me, I'm guilty of this. Instead of chasing more, we can pause and breathe and spend our time on what truly matters. Our faith, Our family and building a meaningful legacy. So here's a simple challenge for you: this Thanksgiving, write down three things that you're grateful for. Keep that list where you can see it. Let it remind you to be content, to spend wisely and to live intentionally. Gratitude isn't just a nice feeling. It's a strategy and it's a key to living a life where you're in control of your resources, instead of letting them control you. If you're ready to take the next step in managing your money and resources, I've got an exciting opportunity for you. On December 2nd, we're kicking off the six day money experiment. This is a free video series where we'll explore six small actions that can make a It's the perfect way to take the principles of gratitude and contentment and put them into place.
