We don't grow in the dark, growth happens in the light.

I'm challenging you to come out of hiding, to shed secrets, to step beyond shame.

I'm challenging you to stand in the light of truth.

Why go to therapy because it's defined work?

When you are emotionally healthy, you are more powerful spiritually.

You are now listening to The In the Light Podcast, hosted by Dr Anita Phillips.

Hey, hey, hey in the light tribe. Welcome to another conversation that I pray takes you ever closer to living your most powerful life.

I just know you were blessed by last week's conversation with LaCray.

I so appreciate the way he opened up to talk about the really hard stuff.

He gave us a clear view of his lowest moments in his battle with depression and anxiety.

But he also gave us a front row seat to the journey to recovery that now empowers him to say, I am restored.

And I love inviting you into conversations about hard stuff like that.

The stuff that scares us, the stuff that people don't like to think about, much less say out loud.

And today's talk is no exception because today we are talking about M-O-N-E-Y money and mental health.

Did you know that among all the things that people wish you would mind your business about, money is at the top of the list?

People would rather talk about death, politics, religion, or their personal health more than their personal finances.

That's how big of a taboo we have when it comes to talking about money.

So how does mental health come into play?

Well, first of all, anything that we avoid talking about has strong feelings attached to it.

These feelings are anchored in our beliefs about the matter at hand and those same feelings influence our thoughts.

So we don't just have thoughts about money.

We also have strong feelings rooted in deeply held beliefs.
