52: Money mindset, Manifestation & Psychology with Victoria Maskell
In today's episode I have a fascinating conversation with Victoria Maskell. I have always been notoriously skeptical of manifestation, and it turns out that was because I didn't know what it actually was. I took so much away from this conversation and I am confident you will too.

She has worked with people suffering from depression, anxieties, phobias, low self-esteem, weight-related concerns, IBS as well as those lacking in confidence and poor money mindset.

Life Changing
I’d been following the Dave Ramsey Baby Steps programme for 5 months and was in Baby Step 3 halfway through building up my fully funded 6 month emergency fund and was struggling with what to do when it came to Step 4 being investing as Dave is very American centred and I wasn’t sure how I could translate that to me being in the UK. So I searched UK alternative to Dave Ramsey and found Brian on YouTube. Binged his entire channel in a couple of days. The advice and information given was so clear and straightforward that I learned pretty much immediately exactly what I needed to do next in regards to investing in the UK. Am no working my way through this podcast starting with episode 1 and am loving it. Thank you Brian, I truly appreciate it. I’ve opened a Stocks & Shares ISA and Cash ISA to start with and am, for the first time in my life, feeling good about my future.
Fantastic Podcast
I have loved listening to this podcast with all your clear explanations. I am not your demographic but still learnt a lot. Please keep up your amazing work!
Great podcast
I follow Brian on Instagram. He puts the cool into Frugal. I’m possibly not his demographic, but love listening to his advice and hearing his own personal experience with money and lack of. I’ll be sharing these with my son as I think listening to someone who, let’s face it, is quite cool might help him more than an older frugal YouTuber or Instagrammer. Thankyou!
