Start Rewriting Your Money Story Today To Build Wealth with Kara Stevens

What’s one of the most overlooked pieces to building wealth? No, it’s not making more money. The secret is in understanding your money story. Your money story operates automatically in the background every second of the day, influencing how you spend and save your money. As our guest Kara Stevens, founder of The Frugal Feminista and author of Heal Your Relationship with Money, says, “Often, the money stories that we have held as adults aren’t even our money stories—they are inherited and unexamined money stories from our childhood.” The truth is your parents honestly were trying to do their best with money. It’s not their fault they got emotionally tripped up by money or made certain choices. But all those choices influenced your money story and where you are today. So, if you want to start growing wealth, you need to start by rewriting your money story and removing what doesn’t fit any longer.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to figure out your money story
• Understand how your money story is impacting you
• Learn Kara’s rewrite and reframe technique you can put into use
