Summary

Alyssa Davies, published author and founder of award-winning Canadian personal finance blog, Mixed Up Money, joins the podcast to discuss how your relationship with money is deeply connected to your mental health, why the traditional way of paying off debt didn't work for her and her new book Financial First Aid: Your Tool Kit for Life's Money Emergencies. We also talk about working through the scarcity mindsets we've picked up along our financial independence journey, giving ourselves permission to be selfish as moms, and more.

In this episode we discuss:

The 3 types of emergency funds you need
Her debt free journey
How she manages her anxiety when it comes to money
How to alleviate our fears of not having enough
Why finding a like-minded community is a powerful tool
The validity of your money struggles no matter how you grew up + more
