I’ve spent almost a decade teaching financial education and helping millions of women get their finances on track with a real-life budgeting system.
The truth is that your finances don’t exist in a bubble or a neatly organized spreadsheet. They’re connected with your goals, values, aspirations, and emotions.
On The Miko Love Podcast, I tackle topics such as personal growth, mental health, relationships, physical health, and other elements that shape your overall well-being and contribute to fulfilling living. Join me every Wednesday for fresh perspectives and meaningful conversations on how to create a life rich in purpose.
I’m Kumiko Love, the voice behind The Miko Love Podcast. Over the past nine years, I’ve worn many hats—financial educator, bestselling author, Accredited Financial Counselor, and creator of The Budget Mom. But The Miko Love Podcast gives me the chance to explore even more of what fuels my passion: living a life filled with purpose, meaning, and passion, alongside financial wisdom.
As a single mom earning $30,000 a year while facing $78,000 in debt, I initially believed money was just a numbers game. Despite sticking to my budget, I still found myself reaching for my credit card to purchase things that didn’t truly make me happy. That’s when I realized that our financial decisions are deeply intertwined with personal growth, emotions, mental health, and relationships.
Losing my mom in April 2023 intensified my understanding of how precious life is. It inspired me to focus on what brings true joy, rather than living up to superficial expectations. Through The Miko Love Podcast, I explore a wide range of captivating topics—from personal growth and mental well-being to lifestyle, passions, and the ways we can create a life rich in meaning and fulfillment.
Join me as I dive into these diverse conversations, helping you navigate your journey to a more purposeful and joyful life.

No gatekeeping of strategies to help others succeed and feel supported - she understands the assignment and her voice is so needed in this space. I can't wait to see how this pod impacts people all around the world!
I have to say, the grief episode I really resonated with. I lost my mom 8 years ago and some moments are still so hard! You are so inspirational and this conversation really helped in my journey. It does get easier, the pain doesn't cut so deep over time.
She's a fantastic person and shares so much knowledge not just on budgeting and financials, but fun things in life too. She's the best and we're lucky to have her in our corner of the internet. Super excited about her new podcast and will be tuning in every week!
I enjoy you being so honest about your ups and downs. You make things relatable to know that anyone can go for it. I see you as a positive guide. I wish you the best and will share with my family and friends. You're off to a good start, can't wait for the next episode.
I love the new angle! Love that you're expanding on so many other things. I've been a longtime TBM follower but you're exactly right, life isn't all about money!
