In fact, your financial health can really impact your physical and mental health.
So let’s start taking baby steps at becoming financially fit this year, and at taking the stigma out of talking about money.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Balance Black Girl Podcast. We're putting Black Girl Magic in motion. |
| 0:07.0 | This show is dedicated to reinventing wellness for women of color. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm your host Lestrandra Alfred. |
| 0:14.0 | Welcome back to the show jumping in with our second feel good Friday episode. |
| 0:20.0 | Last week was our first feel good Friday and I was amazed at the response. |
| 0:25.0 | It actually had the highest first day download rate of any episode of the podcast so far. |
| 0:31.0 | So I am so happy to hear that you all are really loving the short |
| 0:36.3 | digestible pieces of wellness information and I'm so happy to bring you more of it in the future. So for today I wanted to get you thinking about a |
| 0:47.6 | topic that I'm actually going to be talking a lot about across my content this year and that is financial wellness. |
| 0:56.7 | So when we think about wellness oftentimes we get very stuck in the physical. |
| 1:01.9 | Over the past couple years I think a lot more conversations have been started regarding |

| 1:57.3 | unfortunate truth, but it is something that is a reality of the world that we live in. And for me, personally, as I enter into this next decade, |
| 2:07.1 | I really, really want to focus more on my own personal |
| 2:10.0 | financial health. |
| 2:11.6 | And I personally have always been pretty good with my money in terms of just being |
| 2:17.2 | generally responsible with it. However, I really, really want to focus more on learning how to get more out of my money and how to make my money work for me and how to not just get by or do a little bit better than getting by, but I really want to thrive and I really want you to thrive too. |
