In this episode, I unpack how I reshaped my relationship with money over the last 5–6 years, from shame, dependence, and hype-investing to seeing money as a tool for freedom, time, and peace of mind. I share the simplest habit you can start today to grow your wealth long-term, why your saving rate matters more than your income, and how wealth is more about psychology than spreadsheets. I also talk about letting money work for you without trading every hour for it, the mistakes I made along the way (hello, crypto hype 🙃), why women have been historically excluded from financial literacy, and how a few key books and conversations completely changed my mindset.
Books that helped me redefine my psychology of money:
“The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness” by Morgan Housel
“Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki
“One Up On Wall Street: How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market” by Peter Lynch
“The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life“ by Alice Schroeder
