Money, Motherhood & Mindset: How to Rewrite Your Financial Story
Why do so many women feel uncomfortable talking about money, and how can we change it? Where does this come from? How can we change this mindset?
Carina speaks with behavioral money coach and founder of Women with Cents, Natasha Janssens. From escaping war-torn Yugoslavia to becoming an accountant, mortgage broker, financial planner, and now a powerful voice helping women shift their relationship with money, Natasha shares her personal journey and how it led her to focus on the psychology of money to support women.
Whether you're returning to work, navigating the cost of daycare, or just trying to stay afloat, remember: this is a season. Give yourself permission to just survive, if that’s where you are. The time for growth will come.
You don’t need to know it all. You just need to take the first step and know your numbers.
We chat about:
Why women often avoid financial conversations
How our upbringing, traditional gender roles, and societal norms impact our money mindset
The emotional drivers behind financial stress and avoidance
Practical steps to build financial confidence (even if you're not a "numbers person")
Why understanding your "financial story" is key to making empowered decisions that can also have a positive impact on your children
Tips for navigating money conversations with your partner
Superannuation, contribution splitting, and what to know post-maternity leave
This is an episode with great tips and advice whether you’re returning to work, navigating childcare costs, working for a few years, or want to feel more in control of your finances to help you later in life.
