Money shapes our choices, our confidence, our freedom and in this episode of the You & You Podcast, we unravel why your relationship with money goes far deeper than numbers on a screen.

In this powerful and revealing conversation, Laura breaks down how our money mindset is formed between ages 0–7, how we inherit beliefs from parents and culture without even realising, and what it truly takes to rebuild a healthy, empowered relationship with money as an adult.

Together, we explore why awareness is the first step, how language rewires our financial reality and the emotional cycles that keep people stuck in shame, avoidance or overspending. Laura explains how to treat money like a relationship one that needs communication, consistency and attention and why budgeting isn’t restriction, but clarity, data and personal power.

From navigating overspending triggers, comparison spirals and luxury-lifestyle pressures on social media, to releasing the fairytale myth that someone else will “fix” our finances, this episode is a comforting yet transformative guide for anyone wanting financial stability, financial growth and emotional freedom around money.

We dive into practical steps: building a realistic budget, creating intentional saving and investing habits, knowing when to spend, when to pause and how to balance enjoying life with planning for the future. We also talk about debt shame, feeling overwhelmed by numbers, the fear of ageing and beauty costs, coping mechanisms that fuel impulsive buying and how to shift them into self-supporting habits.

If you’ve ever struggled with financial guilt, money avoidance, debt anxiety, comparison, or the belief that you’re “just not good with money,” this episode will show you that financial transformation is possible, mindset is malleable and empowerment is always available.

A gentle, honest, grounded conversation and the perfect reset for your financial wellbeing journey.
