Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Let's talk about the time I was rejected by the media for saying what I really feel.

Now, I was being interviewed by a prestigious financial publication as a life coach who works with many people,

and they were asking about money. Now, there are plenty of finance experts out there. There are

endless apps. If you're looking for finance advice, you will not find a shortage, free videos,

free podcasts. I mean, it's endless. You can find

strategy, insights, rules, books, more than you could ever even consume in your lifetime.

But during this interview, the reporter was asking me very practical, especially as a life coach now with a thriving

business, which I'm so, so proud of. She was asking me a lot of kind of money specifics, which I'm

happy to go into and share. But what I really wanted to convey most strongly is the fact that

it's not about the money itself. It's not about the stuff. It's not the

number on the screen, aka the money in the bank. That determines your prosperity. So if you've known

me on my work for a long time, you'll know that I grew up with very, very little, living in

domestic violence shelters and government housing on welfare,

living on donations and hand-me-downs, and having a lot of embarrassment around that as a kid.

And so now being able to have had a great successful career in tech, now having my own business,

which I love so much, what I wanted to convey was, it's not the money in the bank, right? Or it's not the salary

that you have. It's not your annual income. That's the thing. Of course, it matters. It's there

and everyone earns something. And hopefully, you know, we're able to invest a little, save a little,

spend on things that matter to us. But I said, you know, really what I want to talk about when it

comes to money isn't the nuts and bolts, isn't the advice because it's, I mean, there's a really

incredible advice out there. Follow Farnush Taravi, my incredible friend and finance expert for all
