Presenting the Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp podcast series.
Are you ready to seize control of your financial destiny? The Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp podcast series is here to guide you through a transformative journey to help you master your finances.
Hosted by Maya Fisher-French and Mapalo Makhu, this series is designed to help you build a solid financial foundation, no matter where you are on your financial journey. In the first episode, Maya and Mapalo delve into the crucial topic of money and emotions. While personal finance may seem like it's all about numbers, our emotional relationship with money significantly influences our financial decisions.
Understanding this relationship is the first step toward achieving financial freedom. Maya and Mapalo share their experiences working with individuals and couples, highlighting how emotional triggers can sabotage financial goals. They introduce the Money Story Questionnaire, a powerful tool to uncover your money story and understand how your upbringing and past experiences shape your financial behavior. Completing this questionnaire can provide valuable insights and pave the way for healthier money habits.
One key takeaway from this episode is the importance of open communication about money, especially in relationships.
