  • I'm not going to lie to you - I'm a little bit nervous about releasing this episode.

    Partly because I'm talking about something that I have experience in, but not professional training in. And also, because I'm going to be very vulnerable and open here. I'm going to be sharing something about myself that not a lot of people know about. And usually, when they do find out about it, they're pretty shocked. And that is: I struggle with anxiety and depression.

    I need to add this disclaimer: I am not a therapist. I am not a psychiatrist. My experiences with the subject that I'm speaking on today stem from my own personal experiences.

    If you've ever battled with anxiety or depression, you understand that our money doesn't care about our mental status. Life still goes on. Bills still need to be paid. This is why it's so important to create systems and safeguards for our money so that when our mental state isn't the best, our money can still do what it needs to do.

    In this episode, I'm sharing the 5 things you can set in motion TODAY to ensure you thrive financially in the midst of anxiety, depression, and/or financial stress!
