Episode description

Money Emotions are now the study of psychology and this guest is helping us to continue on our recent theme of money.  We're exploring where our personal beliefs around money originate and if we want to be savvy with money then what we need to recognise about our own emotions around money to have a balanced relationship with it.  

Simonne Gnessen’s mission is to demystify the world of finance, relieve you of the stress of any money worries and help you use your resources effectively so you can achieve your highest aspirations in life.

She is founder of Wise Monkey Financial Coaching and co-author of ‘Sheconomics’ - a finance book for women where she has identified 7 laws to help you with money. It's all in there ladies, including the woman who claims to 'lie back and think of shopping'! 

In 2002, disillusioned with the financial services industry, she left her role as an adviser and broke new ground by designing a money-guidance service which is different to traditional financial advice.

Simonne majors on the sometimes difficult area of guiding and supporting individuals and couples through the money side of their lives on a practical level, while also helping them address and transform their relationship with money.  Financial stress is often a reason for marriage break-up. 

In this enlightening chat with us she will open your eyes to alternative ways of looking for financial guidance, of how of she is pioneering this new concept of financial coaching to help us all to understand ourselves around money and feel empowered by it.
