Shownotes

In this episode of the Made For More Podcast, host Ally Nitschke is joined by financial coach and educator Karen Eley to explore what financial well-being really means.

Karen breaks down why financial well-being is not just about budgeting, investing, or how much money you earn, but also about the emotional relationship we have with money.


She shares how our early experiences and childhood messages about money shape our beliefs, behaviours, and sense of self-worth well into adulthood.


Together, Ally and Karen discuss the often-taboo nature of money, the impact of financial stress on performance and wellbeing, and why open conversations about money matter in both life and work.


This episode offers practical insights and thoughtful reflections for individuals and leaders looking to build a healthier, more balanced relationship with money.
