Money can be a loaded and emotional topic. Our beliefs around money influence all aspects of our financial journey, from our earning capacity, to how we spend money and how we save for the future. 

However, our money beliefs can be deep rooted and often subconscious. It can be tricky to know where to start when it comes to understanding our feelings about finances. It’s equally difficult to recognise behaviours we may have adopted. 

My guest today is Simonne Gnessen, founder of Wise Monkey Financial Coaching. She is also the co-author of the women’s guide to personal finance ‘Sheconomics’. 

Simonne has over 10 years of experience as a financial advisor. Today, through Wise Monkey Financial Coaching, she empowers her clients to build a better relationship with money, helping them use it effectively to achieve their goals. 

In this episode, Simonne shares powerful exercises that help us understand how we think and feel about money. She offers practical tips for building a positive money mindset once you have identified your limiting financial beliefs or blockers.

We also take a look at some of the common emotions that drive impulse purchases, as well as how we can resist today's temptations to spend.
