Episode 1:

Money isn’t just about numbers — it’s emotional. In this episode of the Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp, my co-host, Maya Fisher-French and I, explore the hidden impact of financial trauma. From the money messages we absorbed as children to the silent promises we made to ourselves (like "I’ll never be broke again"), our past experiences often shape how we earn, spend, save, or avoid money altogether.

We talk about how these deep-rooted patterns show up in adulthood — whether it's anxiety around checking your bank account or overspending to feel secure. We also share practical ways to start healing and shift your money mindset.
