How to get unstuck with money (featuring Dennis Harhalakis and Emily Shipp)

Between “get rich” headlines and endless money advice, why do so many of us still feel stuck with money? Is it really a lack of knowledge – or the beliefs we absorbed long before our first pay cheque?

In this episode of the Money:Mindshift podcast, Dr Tom is joined by money coach Dennis Harhalakis to explore how childhood conditioning shapes our relationship with earning, saving and self-worth – and why it’s hard to build a life around something you feel conflicted (or even repulsed) by. Then Emily Shipp of the Edinburgh Futures Institute unpacks the hidden forces shaping women’s financial futures and how context influences the plans we make for tomorrow.
