Description

In this episode of the Women Talking Money podcast, Gretchen Betts chats with Dr. Moira Somers, a psychologist and family wealth consultant, about the fascinating psychology behind money. They cover a range of topics, from childhood memories about money to negotiating salaries, striking the right balance between saving and enjoying wealth, and why it's so important to have open conversations about finances. Moira highlights the need for humility and curiosity across generations, and the value of sharing both your financial wins and regrets. She also shares a heartwarming memory of buying a harp, which brought her a lot of joy. For Moira, financial freedom is all about living within your means and having the freedom to decide your next steps in life.

In this conversation Moira and Gretchen discuss topics such as:

• Early memories of money can shape our attitudes and behaviours towards it
• Negotiating salaries from the outset of a career can help narrow the gender pay gap.
•  Balancing saving and enjoying wealth is important, and experiences that provide relief from burden can increase happiness.
• Open conversations about money, including sharing successes and regrets, can help reduce fear and increase financial literacy.
•  Financial freedom means being able to live within altered means and having the freedom to choose what happens next in life.
