I'm Cait host Caitlin Bristow straight off the

racetrack. Sorry I had to just get here on time but I have on the podcast today

New York Times best-selling author Nicole Lappin.

She is CEO and founder of Money News Network and the host of a chart topping

financial literacy podcast called Money Rehab. She's here to make us all feel a little more confident about

our finances talking about our finances. Should we talk about them at the beginning of dating?

She has a bunch of really great advice, easy for you to break down and I really think you'll enjoy this one.

Thank you for coming on the podcast and being here today. You are like I wish you could be in my pocket at all time so I could just pop you out whenever I need you because I didn't get that gene. I don't have that brain. I am not a big numbers gal. I just can't do it. I need help all the time and I feel like so many people can benefit from your

podcast and your knowledge so right off the bat I think a lot of people get

nervous talking about money and I don't know why but it makes I feel like it's an intimidating conversation

whether you feel like you have it or you don't it's just I always find it hard to navigate

which is obviously why you are here so let's start off with the topic of financial anxiety. My favorite topic.

It's a thing. It's a huge thing. Caitlin, so when you first started that little spiel out, which've heard many many times not to say that you're not

special but a lot of us feel the same way about financial anxiety and that we're not numbers girls

or we're bad at math or we don't have enough money. We don't have enough money to start. We're too old to start. These are all stories, constant stories that we tell ourselves to stand in the way of getting our financial lives together and these are all stories.

Like it is so far from the truth. Like I started as a poetry major like I am the least likely person to be talking about finances like much less have my finances
