Today I have the absolute pleasure of sharing some time with Gemma Mitchell. Gemma is a dear friend of mine, financial expert, adviser, and author of the upcoming book The Money Reset. But beyond the spreadsheets and strategies, she's a woman who's walked through big life transitions, including divorce and living in the aftermath that she couldn't navigate with the help of Excel. In today’s conversation, we explore the emotional side of growth, money, and starting over, with all the beautiful, messy complexity that comes with it.
