In this episode of Feel and Act Money, hosts Maria Lasprilla and Danusia Cerqueira explore the often uncomfortable topic of money, particularly for expats and immigrants. They discuss the emotional and practical aspects of financial conversations, including salary negotiations, the taboos surrounding money discussions with family and friends, and the cultural differences in how money is perceived and managed. In this episode we emphasize the importance of overcoming fears, being vocal about financial needs, and finding supportive communities to foster healthy money conversations.
