Money Talk, Real Talk

Co-hosts Trish Gregory and Suzanne Alexander delve into the intricate relationship between our nervous system and financial behaviours.

We explore how our emotional responses, shaped by past experiences and traumas, influence our money decisions.

Our conversation highlights the importance of understanding the fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses in relation to financial stress and decision-making.

Suzanne shares practical techniques, such as breathwork, to help regulate the nervous system and improve financial habits.

Financial security is not just about practical tools but also about emotional well-being and mindset.

Enjoy!
