Wealth Begins in Your Mind: Rewiring Your Money Mindset | Shang Saavedra (EP20)

This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show.

Is your mindset helping or hurting your financial future? In this episode, I spoke with the author of Wealth is a Mindset, Shang Saavedra, to explore the emotional and psychological side of personal finance. Shang shares her journey as an "accidental author" and reveals how financial freedom is about more than budgets—it’s about understanding yourself, past traumas, and ingrained habits. We discuss the impact of social media on spending, the importance of financial conversations in relationships, and how parents can set their children up for success. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on money, mindset, and lasting financial well-being.
