Uncensored Money

Wish you could listen in as someone just like you chatted about money? That's what our Money Chats are all about.

In this episode, Mel talks with My Financial Adulting Plan alumni, Angela (or Ferg's as she permitted Mel to call her). Angela's money story growing up revolved around 'Never Enough', scarcity and fear and discusses how the My Financial Adulting Plan helped her reject this scarcity mindset. Through this, Angela was able to shift her thinking, from constantly hoping for a windfall that would change things, into an understanding of money and how to manage it properly.

Listen to this exciting episode, and be inspired to take charge of your own finances.
