Do you have authenticity with how you spend and save your money? Chances are you might spend money on things you think you need or that other people spend their money on and then realize that’s not actually what you want. Enter our guest, Catherine Collins. She is a nationally recognized entrepreneur and author of the book Mom's Got Money: A Millennial Mom's Guide to Managing Money Like a Boss. She co-founded a personal development company called Five Year You. In this episode, we explore how to find authenticity with your money, especially when you’ve been told there are money rules to follow. Newsflash: the rules are fake. And how to take the steps to create authenticity with your money so you can live out your preferences and values. If you’ve never thought about authenticity with your money, this is your sign to listen in and go deep.
