The Power of Telling Your Money Story | Queer Money Ep. 502
Description
Do you make poor financial decisions, even when you know better? If so, it may help to dig into your money story to find out why.
Stephani Niblock grew up in a cult that viewed women as caretakers who never say no to their husbands.
So, when her partner wanted to buy a luxury car or see a pricey nutritionist, Stephani went into debt to make it happen.
How did understanding her money story help Stephani turn things around?
Today, Stephani is the creator of Be Your Money Hero, a platform and podcast that provides a safe space to explore the impact your past experiences and trauma have on your money.
On this episode of Queer Money, Stephani joins us to explain what it was like to grow up in a cult and how it affected her beliefs about money.
Stephani discusses how she got into debt and eventually filed for bankruptcy, describing how she took ownership of her ‘rock bottom’ money situation and finally got her financial life in order.
Listen in for insight on how trauma impacts our money decisions and learn how understanding your money story can help you change your financial life!
