In November the Women Talking Money podcast is celebrating International Men's Day – with our episodes throughout the month featuring men.
In this episode of Women Talking Money Gretchen chats with Nick Elston, an award-winning Inspirational Speaker and Founder of Forging People, specialising in mental health engagement and transformational speaking coaching.
They discuss Nick's journey and the connection between mental health and financial stability. Nick shares his experiences with money, including growing up in a toxic environment and the impact it had on his relationship with money.
He also talks about his approach to budgeting, debt management, and creating a business that doesn't solely rely on his time.
In this conversation, Nick and Gretchen discuss the importance of balancing personal and professional life, the emotional aspect of budgeting, and the need for better conversations around money and mental health.
They also explore the role of trust and rapport in helping others with their financial challenges, the significance of self-care for financial advisors, and the concept of financial freedom as peace of mind rather than material wealth.
