Sue is joined by Meghan Dwyer, a financial planner and host of the podcast "Money Isn't Scary," to discuss why money is such a scary topic for many people, especially women.
She highlights the lack of financial education in schools and the cultural messages that women receive about their ability to handle money. Meghan shares her own experiences and struggles with money, including imposter syndrome and feelings of unworthiness. She also discusses the importance of self-reflection, self-compassion, and aligning financial decisions with personal values.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Money is often seen as a scary topic because it is not taught in schools, leaving many people feeling unprepared to handle it.
Cultural messages, particularly for women, can contribute to a fear of money and a lack of confidence in managing it.
Scarcity mindset can limit potential and prevent individuals from investing in themselves or taking risks in their careers or businesses.
Developing a healthy relationship with money requires self-reflection, awareness of personal values, and working through beliefs and stories about worth and self-deserving.
BEST MOMENTS
"We're not actually taught anything about money… we don't give kids and young adults going out into the real world the right tools to feel comfortable and confident with their money."
"Women are too emotional and women are not allowed to… they don't have the rational understanding around money to be able to do this, quote unquote, the right way."
"Scarcity was absolutely holding him back from doing what he wanted to do… it took a lot of convincing somebody… when you're in that mindset, you have no idea how much it's actually holding you back."
"If we don't feel like we are good enough for ourselves, we're not going to be good enough for anybody else either, because we project that out into the world."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
