Money anxiety with Brad McEwan

When you’ve got a bill to pay, how do you feel? Does your heart start to race or your hands get clammy? Do you put off looking at your bank account… because you’re worried about what’s in there? Or what’s NOT in there. 

If any of this sounds familiar you’re not alone. Money anxiety is common in Australia and we need to have more open conversations about it. Which is exactly what we’re about to do in this episode of Money & a Good Life.

To chat about this important subject, Ryan and Steph are joined by Brad McEwan, a highly respected former sports presenter, professional storyteller, and active mental health advocate. Brad’s personal story with mental health & money is both compelling and inspiring, and sure to connect with many people on a deep level.  

His insights, together with Ryan’s wealth of experience around financial wellbeing and reducing money anxiety, adds up to a podcast of real worth and value. 

Here’s to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.
