In this episode, Emily interviews Dr. Lucie Bland about her financial journey from graduate school to self-employment. Lucie was severely underpaid as a PhD student, and she felt such guilt and shame around spending that she became terrified of money. Her money mindset didn't improve when her income increased several-fold as a postdoc, and it wasn't until she discovered the Good-Better-Best goal-setting framework that she started to heal her relationship with money.
