    Self-Worth and Money: The Hidden Money Beliefs Holding You Back - Ep. 149 Pt. 1

    Self-Worth and Money: The Hidden Money Beliefs Holding You Back - Ep. 149 Pt. 1. How does your self-worth affect your income? In this episode, Rebecca Robertson sits down with life and leadership coach Rose Latham to explore how childhood money stories, class identity and unconscious beliefs shape what we earn and what we think we deserve. From growing up as "the posh kid" to feeling out of place at Oxford and turning down corporate opportunities in favour of stacking shelves, Rose's story reveals how deeply our sense of worth is wired into our relationship with money. Rose Latham is a life and leadership coach for CEOs and MDs who want to lead more strategically without carrying the business alone. But before she got there, she had to confront a deeply embedded belief system that kept her playing small financially, even with a degree from Oxford. In Part one of this two-part conversation, Rose shares how growing up as the "posh family" in a Wiltshire village shaped her early money identity, how arriving at Oxford flipped that narrative completely, and why she walked away from every corporate graduate opportunity without even attending a single evening. Rebecca draws powerful parallels from her own experience, from working in a bank at 19 to navigating class assumptions around ambition. Together they dig into how the education system reinforces a "work hard = compliance" narrative, why the teaching profession fed Rose's low self-worth, and what it really costs when you try to fill a hole in your identity with a salary. What You'll Learn: How childhood money stories create unconscious limits on what you earn Why class identity shifts can shake your confidence at critical career moments The real reason "working hard" doesn't always lead to financial reward How self-worth and salary are connected (and what to do about it) Why the UK education system may be reinforcing unhealthy money beliefs Connect with Rose Latham: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roselathamcoaching/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rose.latham.127 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roselatham.lifecoaching/  Chapters 0:00 Introduction and welcome 1:30 How do you measure your self-worth? 3:15 Growing up as "the posh family" in Wiltshire 6:40 Arriving at Oxford: from big fish to small fish 11:20 State school kids sticking together at uni 15:00 The milk round: "This isn't for me" 20:30 Working at Tesco's and pubs instead of KPMG 24:00 Rebecca's parallel story — working in a bank at 19 27:45 Graduating with no experience: a humbling reality check 31:30 The power of networks and a free trip to Brazil 35:50 Learning Spanish at 26 and five years in South America 39:00 Coming back to the UK and going into teaching 42:30 How teaching fed the low self-worth narrative 46:00 "You could have paid me double and it wouldn't have been enough"   #SelfWorth #MoneyMindset #AcceleratingYourWealth #FinancialPlanning #WealthCoach #MoneyBeliefs #PersonalFinance #LeadershipCoaching #WomenAndMoney #ClassAndMoney   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Rebecca Robertson and the Podcast: Subscribe for weekly wealth-building strategies: https://www.youtube.com/@rebeccarobertsonifa Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebecca_robertsonifa & https://www.instagram.com/acceleratingyourwealth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-financial-advisor Facebook :https://www.facebook.com/RebeccaRobertsonwealth www.evolutionfinancialplanning.co.uk Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice.

    Divorce and Financial Independence: Taking Back Control | Ep.148. Divorce is one of the biggest financial turning points in anyone's life.
