Same Sh*t, Different Brain Rebecca Ryder

In the eighth podcast episode of Same Shit Different Brain’s third series, Rebecca talks to Leticia Fonseca.
Leticia is a personal finance mentor and she helps people, particularly women, to have a healthier relationship with money. She is the founder of Master Your Finances and a self-proclaimed ‘infectiously positive powerhouse’. Leticia talks about the close relationship between money and how we treat ourselves, after personally discovering the positive financial impact of getting to know and love herself more.
They discuss the resilience Leticia’s built up over the years since experiencing depression when she was younger, and going through a divorce. She shares about the challenges she faced around that time and how she's now found the right practices to build up her self-esteem; and to have a whole new appreciation for life.
They also chat about how Leticia came over from Brazil to London to change her life, ended up working in the city and built a career she loved; and how grateful she is to her younger self for doing that.

George became an in-demand speaker after his Pride Month 2022 LinkedIn post, proudly declaring his trans identity, got millions of views. He’s since become a celebrated public speaker, LinkedIn Top Voice and regularly travels around to share his story with different businesses and audiences, educating them on diversity and inclusion for the transgender community.
In George’s own words: “I’m now using my voice to educate the world on what it truly means to be transgender, sharing the stories of my transition and mental health.”

In the sixth podcast episode of Same Shit Different Brain’s third series, Rebecca talks to producer for the creative and tech industries, Emma Jackson. 
You may have seen Emma landing a plane with Kevin Bacon in an EE ad. As she likes to put it, she only gets out of bed for world firsts. She racked up millions of views for content produced for Cut Youtube channel, and using entertainment to show diverse role models is a particular joy of hers. She’s proudly and loudly neurodivergent, and they talk about their shared experiences with late diagnosed ADHD.
Emma  inspired Rebecca to talk about her ADHD publicly for the first time in a real-life space, during the Q+A of a panel talk she appeared in. As well as comparing notes on ADHD, they talk about female empowerment and how women can get better at recognising our own achievements, while businesses also need to have fairer systems for advancing people.
Also, how to approach allyship and why we have to put the work in to speak up for people without speaking *over* them; positive psychology and the science of happiness; trauma around ADHD why meditation and somatic processing are so important with neurodivergence; and what it was like to land that plane with Kevin Bacon.

In the fifth episode of series 3, Rebecca talks to the brilliant Pete Barnes, founder of the Northern Pride Sports Collective, the Manchester-based LGBTQ+ badminton team Northern Cocks, and a board games community too. I met Pete when he appeared on the panel of SSDB’s first live event last year, which was all about How to Make Friends and Find Communities as an Adult.
We talked about social anxiety, the power of communities, reinventing yourself through university and travelling the world, and why a lonely childhood can lead to a deepened determination to hone your skills at making friends in adulthood.

This time, Rebecca speaks to Ellie Austin-Williams, founder of This Girl Talks Money.
In her own words, Ellie is ‘Breaking the money taboo & putting financial wellbeing on the agenda’. She started TGTM because she was ‘bored of the same old financial tips written by middle aged white men in suits’, and wanted to ‘open the conversation up around earning, spending, saving and managing money.’
Alongside building a community of 30,000 financially empowered women, Ellie has worked with brands from Glamour to American Express, as well as providing financial expertise for Refinery29, Stylist, BBC News & more. She was recently invited to 10 Downing Street to talk with the prime minister about the new strategy for tackling fraud AND she’s just announced the release of her first book, Money Talks: A Lifestyle Guide for Financial Wellbeing.
Ellie gives invaluable insights around cultivating a healthy mindset around money, why so many of us end up in debt without knowing what we’re signing up for, and the way the system in the UK needs to be improved in order to support women, to close the gap when it comes to financial stability. Plus,  managing the pressure of running your own business, the fear of failure and the pressure to choose a career we’re going to enjoy.
