Changing Our Financial Narratives | EP55

Many of us think immediately of the economic nuts and bolts when it comes to financial planning, but this episode of Centsability is focused on the big picture, including the emotional baggage many of us carry when it comes to money. Host Amie Baker invites her good friend, Dawn Thomas, to share thoughts about her journey as a Senior Financial Adviser at The Wealth Designers. Their conversation takes on thorny issues such as shame, fear and scarcity thinking – negative mindsets that can keep us stuck in an unhealthy (often counterproductive) relationship with money. “I’m not here just to put a spreadsheet in your face,” says Dawn, who is also the host of Your Money Story(https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/your-money-story/id1555980141). “If you want to work with me as an adviser, it’s really got to be a pretty open, brutal, honest relationship.” It’s all about getting real! You’ll come away from this discussion with a clearer understanding of the holistic role financial advisers play – not just when we’ve amassed wealth but in the early stages of planning that set the stage for long-term freedom. Herself a graduate of Amie’s Money Mindset course, Dawn explains her deepened understanding around how the stories we tell ourselves can block us from visioning the lives we want and deserve. Enjoy Part I of what will be a multi-part exploration of women, financial literacy and how to embrace mindsets that foster abundance and banish fear!    If you enjoyed this episode, please consider rating and reviewing it at podchaser (https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/centsability-1271312).
