The Finance Therapist

There are four lessons that Taylor Swift can teach us about money and mindset; in this episode, we explore them and understand why her dating life is such a buzz, plus why we might want to pay attention to how she navigates.
This isn't about whether you agree or disagree with her politically or in any other way, but interestingly, she is creating waves politically just by dating.
In this episode, I will tell you why I think that is.
