In the work Dalina and Melissa do, we uncover a lot of *stuff* about mindset - and often hear the refrain "I realized my relationship to food is kind of like my relationship to money". Have you ever noticed this too? It’s like sometimes mindless, other times too restrictive, other times too "spendy” (aka a money binge)? That’s why we asked Bola Sokunbi – Certified Financial Education Instructor, money expert, best-selling author, and CEO/founder of Clever Girl Finance – to talk a bit more about money mindset with us on this episode! We answer how to measure financial health, how your parents' relationship to money impacts you today, common money mindset roadblocks (and ways to overcome it!) and more about financial health, so you can explore this important part of your overall health. DM us your thoughts on this episode - we’d love to hear how it inspired you!
