The Money Mindset Podcast with Ana Pereira

After time away from the microphone, I’m back, and I’m starting with the truth. Over the past two years I sold the childcare centre I spent more than a decade building, invested in a startup, and watched that investment not go to plan. In this episode I share what that experience brought up: the uncomfortable questions (“Have I wasted my family’s money?” “Who am I to talk about money?”), and how the mindset work I’ve done helped me separate a financial outcome from my sense of self.

We explore why losing money hurts so much more than gaining it feels good (hello, loss aversion), and why we attach so much of our identity to our financial decisions. I also share the big questions I want to unpack this season: financial autonomy in a changing world, making money decisions that reflect our values, and whether the way we teach money needs to change altogether.

A financial decision can have an outcome you didn’t want...but it doesn’t have to define who you are.

You’ve Been Asking the Wrong Money Questions

Most people are asking all the "wrong" questions about money…

In this episode, I’m inviting you to flip the script. To stop treating money like a math problem and start seeing it as a mirror. Because when you shift the quality of the questions you ask, everything begins to change — your mindset, your decisions, your emotional patterns, your wealth.

We’ll explore:

Why most money questions are rooted in fear and lack

The real reason strategies like budgeting and saving rarely “stick”

How to spot when you’re outsourcing your power to external solutions

Three of the most common “wrong” questions and the transformational, soul-aligned alternatives that create clarity, confidence, and connection

Expect truth bombs. Self-reflection. A little discomfort.

🎧 Tune in to hear the questions that changed it all for me and how they can transform the way you relate to money, safety, and your own self-worth.

In this episode, we delve into the five often-overlooked forms of abundance: money, trade, gifts, synchronicity, and imagination.

Learn how each form contributes to creating a fulfilling and balanced life. Ana challenges societal norms and invites listeners to broaden their perception of abundance, embracing the myriad of ways it can manifest in our lives.

Embrace this opportunity to shift your mindset, expand your definition of abundance, and open yourself to new experiences and opportunities. By recognizing and appreciating abundance in its multiple forms, you too can live a life full of freedom, joy, and fulfillment.
