  • Summary

  • Money—it’s something we all have to deal with, yet so many of us feel ashamed, overwhelmed, or anxious about it. Whether it’s debt, emotional spending, or the way we tie our self-worth to financial success, these struggles can have a profound effect on our mental health. This week, I’m joined by Clare Seal, finance writer, speaker, and author, who became a leading voice in financial well-being after launching her Instagram account My Frugal Year, where she shared her journey out of £27,000 worth of personal debt. Together, we discuss: 💰 Why money remains one of our biggest taboos. 😨 How financial stress impacts mental health—and vice versa. 🛍️ Emotional spending, the ‘ADHD tax,’ and why many of us sabotage ourselves financially. 🔄 How to break out of shame cycles and build a healthier relationship with money. Whether you’ve ever felt out of control with money or just want confidence around finances, this episode is for you. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU 🗣 Got a question or a story to share?
