What impacts women's ability to do better with money? How do past traumas affect our future financial decisions? On this episode of Psych for Life, I welcome back Jane Monica Jones, a Financial Therapist to dive deeper into how women move from disempowerment to empowerment and agency when it comes to their finances. We share insights about how society and cultural systems can be both a hindrance and potentially a help for women financially. Importantly, we remember the historic financial disempowerment, oppression and abuse of women. We discuss how critical it is that girls and women gain fundamental knowledge, experience and confidence about money – as this is a major impact on their material lives, health and wellbeing. Learn how stress and traumas in childhood, as well as in later adulthood, impact our nervous systems and hence how we manage money now. Gain an understanding of how our intimate relationships can be an environment for money triggers and challenges.
