How To Relate

Breaking the Broke Mindset with Taylor Gilbert

Listen Later

Taylor is a LCSW and founder of Social Work to Wealth- a finance education platform for social workers. Taylor shares how a tip about high-yield savings accounts sent her down a personal finance rabbit hole that reshaped her finances, her marriage, and her mission. She and her husband tackled $277,000 in debt — and she's been sharing that journey publicly ever since to normalize the money conversation for social workers everywhere.

In this episode:

  • Why the "you're not in it for the money" messaging is harmful — and wrong
  • What the NASW Code of Ethics actually says about financial wellness (Taylor asked the guy who wrote it)
  • The "digital envelope" budgeting method Taylor has used for four years
  • Practical salary negotiation tips, including why you need a script in your Notes app
  • Nontraditional career paths: trust and safety at Spotify, HR at IPSY, and beyond
  • The three currencies — money, time, and energy — and where yours is going
