“How much money we have doesn’t make us a better or worse person, but the beliefs that we carry and the meaning that we attach to money is then what we attach to our sense of self.” – Catherine Morgan
Experiencing deep stress, anxiety and confusion around our financial situation is something so many millions of people are struggling with today, or have experienced in the past. With the holidays approaching, I believe it’s a perfect time to explore this topic further, to gain greater awareness of what we can do to expand our financial wellbeing now and in the months to come. Today’s Finding Brave guest shares why we are all deserving of wealth, and shares key mindset shifts and action steps to take to begin building more wealth and achieving true financial wellbeing.
Catherine Morgan is a multi-award winning qualified Financial Planner and award-winning Certified Financial Coach, on a mission to reduce financial anxiety and increase financial empowerment and resilience for 1 million women around the world. Featured in Business Leader as one of the top 32 female entrepreneurs to look out for, she is host of the top 1% global podcast –‘In Her Financial Shoes’ – and founder of The Money Panel ®.
After almost losing her son at 5 weeks old to meningitis and spending years in “debt shame” cycles, she became determined to help women to release the guilt and shame they attach to money and change the financial services profession from one that is focused on products to a focus on behavioral change, which is transformational.
Catherine is the author of the Amazon best-selling book, The Woman I’m Becoming: Reflections to Empower the Females of Our Future and her latest book, It’s Not About the Money: 3 Steps to Become a Wealthy Woman, which was released in December 2021.
This is such an important topic, and the conversation with Catherine touches on such critical aspects around money, that we decided to air the entirety of the episode in two parts. Please make sure to tune in next week to hear more on how you can strengthen your financial wellbeing as we head into a brand new year!

QUOTES FROM TODAY’S SHOW:
“I think our biggest challenges that we have with money are that we attach our sense of self and our worthiness directly to money.” [6:52]
“[Financial] wellbeing is going back to separating our sense of self away from money.” [7:44]
“What would happen if you had more income and that extra income would enable you to help more people and create more income?” [20:45]
“The cycle I was stuck in was that I could make money, and I was quite a manifester, but I couldn’t keep hold of it because the meaning that I attached to keeping hold of it was [one of] greed.” [25:09]
“How can you leverage your time better? Time is the one asset that we can’t create more of.” [31:42]
“How much money is involved for you to create your desires? You’ll often find that the biggest desires we have in life don’t actually cost us anything.” [36:50]

FINALLY, PLEASE ASK YOUR ORGANIZATION TO BRING THE MOST POWERFUL YOU TRAINING TO YOUR WORKFORCE TODAY
Is your organization committed to supporting the growth and success of both women and men in your workforce? If so, do they offer opportunities for powerful hands-on career growth and leadership training that addresses the real-world challenges that professional women face in the workplace and in their careers that are often different from what men typically face?
I’m so thrilled that recently, a division of the United Nations recently sponsored several memberships to The Most Powerful You course for their staff members and what a powerfully supportive move that is, to bring real-world effective career and leadership training to professionals in their work cultures, to help them thrive and succeed and the highest level possible in their work and projects.
Coaching so many professionals and leaders as I do each year, I see that leadership and career growth training programs today are so often NOT effective because they simply don’t go deep enough to address what really holds us back from thriving, believing in ourselves, recognizing our talents and abilities, communicating effectively, asking for what we need, saying “STOP!” to mistreatment, building a great support community, and making the true impact we long to.
I’d like to make this request of you today:
Please take a look at what I’m teaching in The Most Powerful You course, which is the digital companion course to my book The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss, now translated into Chinese and Arabic and designated a top leadership book by the Leader to Leader Journal and among the TOP 5 books for productivity, confidence-building, addressing stress and burnout, helping new grads make a “dent in the Universe” and more by The Next Big Idea Club.
If you feel that this content — about 7 most damaging power gaps that prevent 98% of women and 90% of men from reaching their highest potential and most rewarding goals and how to close those gaps for good — would be helpful for you and the people at your organization, I hope you’ll ask your supervisors, HR leaders, DEI managers and Learning & Development staff to sponsor memberships of this course for you and other staff, so you can all thrive at the highest level in your roles and organizations.
Thank you so much and here’s to becoming The Most Powerful You!
