🎧 Want to dive deep into the relationship between money and mindset? Join me as I chat with Money Mindset Coach, Mary Li.

💔 If you give away your financial power, explore the societal pressure on women to break the taboo around money. Embrace your agency and control over your finances because you are capable of so much more than you think! 💪🏼

💰 Don't miss out on this eye-opening conversation on the Saving Face podcast! If you're constantly comparing yourself to others when it comes to money, let's explore the detrimental effects of this mindset and discover how to align our core values with our earning and spending habits. 

Here's what we cover:

  1. The Money Mindset Journey: Mary Li and Judy Tsuei both grew up in immigrant families where money was scarce, leading to a fear and scarcity mindset around finances. We discuss how this fear and guilt still affect us as adults, even when we have enough to meet our basic needs.
  2. Awareness is Key: Mary emphasizes the need to observe our thoughts and beliefs about money without judgment. She suggests keeping a daily journal to track these thoughts and examine the underlying beliefs that drive our behaviors.
  3. Aligning Values with Actions: We agree that rewriting our money stories and aligning our actions with our core values can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with money.
  4. Gratitude and Honesty: We encourage listeners to appreciate the things they may be taking for granted and to be honest with ourselves about the way we make and spend money in accordance with our core values.
  5. Financial Empowerment for Women: We highlight the need for women to take ownership of their finances and break the taboo around money. Mary reveals that many successful women rely on their husbands to manage their money, which she attributes to societal conditioning and a lack of confidence in managing finances.
  6. Teaching Children about Money: It's vital to teach children about money and financial responsibility. Mary shared how she uses a finance box with her daughter to teach her about different financial choices and their consequences.
  7. Marriage and Money: We discuss how money differences can be a major cause of divorce and the importance of understanding one's own money values and beliefs before entering into a committed relationship.
  8. Self-worth and Self-reflection: Mary emphasizes that our relationship with ourselves is the foundation for all other relationships, including our relationship with money.
