Welcome! This is a safe space to find practical, evidence-based tools to help you on your journey.
With the critic challenged and compassion cultivated, the next step is to solidify your value. This episode introduces actionable steps to create a "portfolio of worth," providing factual evidence of your strengths and qualities to anchor your self-esteem.
Money is a huge part of our lives, so it's no surprise that it has a massive impact on our mental health.
The link between financial stress and mental health is a powerful, often cyclical, one. Worrying about bills, debt, or job security can lead to anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress. In turn, experiencing poor mental health can make it much harder to manage finances, creating a spiral that can feel impossible to escape.
You are not your debt. Your worth is not your bank balance.
This is a common struggle, and you are not alone in it. Acknowledging the stress is the first step. The next is to know that support is available for both issues:
✔️ Talk to a Counsellor: A mental health professional can help you develop coping strategies for the anxiety and stress, helping you regain a sense of control. ✔️ Talk to a Financial Counsellor: In Australia, the National Debt Helpline (1800 007 007) offers free, confidential, and independent financial counselling. They are trained to help you make a plan.
Reaching out for help is a sign of strength.
