The Money Mindset Podcast with Ana Pereira

What if everything you’ve been taught to believe about money is wrong? well maybe not everything however... In this episode I unpack three common money beliefs that have shaped my own decisions, and probably yours too: they are -  that you have to work hard to deserve money, that being good with money means restricting yourself, and that there will never be enough. We look at where these beliefs come from, from our parents and upbringing to hustle culture and social media, and how they quietly drive guilt about resting, resistance to budgeting, and an endless chase for “more”. This is about learning to question, understand and re-choose the beliefs that no longer serve you. To go deeper, and better understand your own beliefs around money download The Money Audit, my free PDF that helps you identify one money belief you’re carrying, understand where it came from, and decide what you want to believe moving forward.

After time away from the microphone, I’m back, and I’m starting with the truth. Over the past two years I sold the childcare centre I spent more than a decade building, invested in a startup, and watched that investment not go to plan. In this episode I share what that experience brought up: the uncomfortable questions (“Have I wasted my family’s money?” “Who am I to talk about money?”), and how the mindset work I’ve done helped me separate a financial outcome from my sense of self. We explore why losing money hurts so much more than gaining it feels good (hello, loss aversion), and why we attach so much of our identity to our financial decisions. I also share the big questions I want to unpack this season: financial autonomy in a changing world, making money decisions that reflect our values, and whether the way we teach money needs to change altogether. A financial decision can have an outcome you didn’t want...but it doesn’t have to define who you are.
