You're Not Woke, You're Broke™ #YNWYB
There’s nothing that you like to do just for the sake of not liking it.
But sometimes we ask the things we enjoy, buy, achieve, or pursue to compensate for what we feel our lives aren’t giving us. We talk about money injustice, inequality, and the systems that shape our financial lives. But how often do we stop to understand our own place in that story?
We each have a different money story, shaped by our identity, family, experiences, opportunities, and circumstances. Money can create freedom, security, and possibility, while also creating stress, restriction, shame, or pressure.
You’re Not Woke, You’re Broke™ is a call to wake up to your money. Challenge the rules. Question what you’ve been taught. Honor your past. Build your own future. Know yourself, know your money, and turn awareness into action.
Meet JaeVic
Hey Finessers, I’m Jaelyn Vickery—better known as your podcast host, JaeVic. I’m a Certified Financial Therapist™, founder of Dimensional Wealth, and someone who is just as passionate about learning as I am about teaching.
I created Finance, Fitness & Finesse (F3) in June 2024 while completing my Master of Social Work degree. Despite earning academic and athletic scholarships as a Division I softball student-athlete at the University of Illinois, I graduated realizing that my education had prepared me for a career—but not for the financial realities of adulthood.
F3 was built on one belief: the only way we learn about money is by talking about it. With a background in psychology, social work, banking, eating disorder treatment, and consumer psychology, I explore how emotions influence impulsive spending and Disordered Consumption™. Through my FIVEREPS™ framework, you’ll learn to recognize these patterns and build healthier habits.
No one has money completely figured out, which is why Collaboration is Currency™. Each week, we’ll learn from experts, industry professionals, and everyday people with extraordinary money stories.
Finances scare and bore me to death at the same time. Jaelyn’s podcast has provided me with a resource that breaks down finances in a digestible way! I enjoy listening to her passion for keeping people informed and the interviews she conducts so her audience can get a wide variety of insights and experiences with money.

I enjoy Jae’s podcast both for personal use and professional use! There is such good information that I have learned that I had no previous knowledge of. And being a clinician I have many clients come in with questions about money, and this is one of the first resources I utilize.

Learned about financial wellness through the podcast. My BIGGEST takeaway was high yield savings accounts! I never even knew what that was, but I have made several hundred dollars utilizing this!

JaeVic’s podcast, her depth of insight, and most importantly, her meaningful contributions to the field of financial counseling and therapy are powerful catalysts for change. She brings a rare blend of clarity, compassion, and cultural relevance that has the potential to transform lives and foster lasting financial and emotional well-being.

I started off by just listening to her podcast to become more financially independent and confident in my ability “to adult.” It was later that I had the privilege to have a more intentional conversation with Jaelyn about my life goals and aspirations. She really helps put my life journey (career- and relationship- driven) into perspective and makes it seem possible that I can achieve a life worth living. Even after a few conversations, I learn techniques to approach achieving my goals and forming strong relationships with others.
