I sat down with Megan Dwyer of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast to talk about breaking that silence. Because the real currency of courage isn’t in your wallet, it’s in your willingness to face what’s underneath your financial fears.

So many of us have been told to just be fearless. Put it on a mug. Slap it on a meme. Move on. I sat down with Kayla at the Shift Happens Podcast to talk about the real deal with fear.
