S1 01 | The psychology of money

Oprah was right. Turns out, your money situation could have less to do with your pay-packet, and more to do with what’s going on in your head. So how do the rich think about money? What secrets do they know that we don’t? And if you’ve got a poor person mindset, can you train your brain to think differently? Claire goes deep into her financial psychology and unlocks a crucial realisation about her money habits.

Juicy Slice — it’s a pledge-a-palooza!

S1 02 | The life-changing magic of a budget
