In this episode Vanessa brings on her accountant and financial advisor Shannon Lee Simmons from New School of Finance for a vulnerable and personal discussion about how she is healing her relationship with money and finances. They discuss how to navigate stressful, or difficult financial times, the most common financial trends that have been present over 2019-2021, how to begin changing your financial situation in a way that is manageable and empowering, and how to spend and save while honouring "high emotional return on investments" with an "anti-budget". 

Vanessa shares a bit about her process as a young entrepreneur and what it was like filing for a consumer proposal and how that helped her become more aware and conscious of her money patterns, blocks, and stories around money and how working with a financial advisor like Shannon (who is also a life coach) was, and continues to be incredibly supportive as she rebuilds wealth. This episode is full of Shannon’s invaluable money management tips and gives you a break down of her two books Living Debt-Free and Worry-Free Money.
