Actions
Linda Grizely is a financial wellness speaker who partners with organizations to reduce the hidden cost of employees' personal financial stress — the cost that quietly shows up as lost focus, lower performance, and retention challenges.
Linda speaks to employees, ERGs, associations, HR leaders, and leadership teams across the country, in person and virtually.
Through her human-centered approach to money, Linda helps audiences bridge the gap between financial knowledge and real-life decision-making. Her programs go beyond traditional financial literacy to explore the behavioral, emotional, and practical realities that shape how people earn, spend, save, invest, and plan for the future.
Linda is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional with a master's degree in Financial Services and a dual-major bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management and Marketing. Her background spans holistic financial planning, leadership, business strategy, marketing, human resources, nonprofit consulting, association leadership, and sales.
Her signature keynote, The Human Variable™, explores the identity, money history, and emotional conditioning behind financial decisions. She is the creator of the MeMoney® Method, a framework that replaces guilt-based budgeting with clarity, confidence, and intentional action, and host of the Real Money, Real Life® podcast. In 2026, MeMoney® was named a finalist for a Money Awareness and Inclusion Award.
Her perspective is shaped by what she calls her "many financial lives" — including becoming a single teen mother, being a suburban married mother of three with financial abundance, rebuilding after divorce, and returning to school as an adult before building her career in financial services.
