The episode:Money can be a source of stress, confusion and avoidance, but what if being good with money wasn’t just about building wealth but an act of self-care?
This week, Marie Claire Australia Editor Georgie McCourt is joined by financial adviser, author and SugarMamma founder Canna Campbell to talk about money mindset, financial freedom and how taking control of your finances can be a powerful way of taking care of yourself.
Canna shares practical advice on setting specific financial goals, creating a simple budget, spending intentionally, and building additional income streams. They also discuss superannuation, investing, income protection, the gender retirement gap and FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).
Plus, how childhood beliefs can shape our relationship with money, why social media can distort our perception of wealth, how couples can have better conversations about finances, why decluttering can reveal more about our spending habits, and the one financial task Canna says you should stop putting off.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed, ashamed or simply unsure about your finances, this is a reminder that getting better with money doesn't have to mean doing everything at once. Sometimes, looking after your money is simply another way of looking after yourself.
