Money - having it, not having it, managing it - can be a source of chronic stress, and chronic stress is the exact opposite of mindful wellbeing! Today we are joined on the podcast by Lena Rizkallah, financial advisor, recovering lawyer, stand up and sketch comic, and story teller, to explore the ways we can approach money matters in a healthy way.

Lena and Courtney talk about practical ways to improve our financial wellbeing through educating ourselves, building a sound financial foundation, budgeting, and sitting with the emotions that this touchy topic sometimes brings about.
