Episode 09: Financial Wellness | More Than Securing The Bag
The reason I've been able to be so financially successful is my focus has never, even for one minute, been money.
-Oprah Winfrey
In this episode we’re jumping back into the dimensions of wellness to talk about financial wellness. For a lot of us talking about finances can be touchy, but our financial wellness impacts our health, especially our mental health, profoundly. So we’re going to talk about it and reflect on what financial wellness means and what it means for Black women.
