Welcome to another inspiring episode of "Let's Talk Money and More." Today, we're joined by the remarkable Annie Bennett, a woman whose journey from a career in teaching to becoming a charity founder and entrepreneur is truly inspiring. Annie shares her personal money story, beginning with her upbringing in a comfortable home that valued wise spending and saving. Her narrative takes us through a significant career shift, prompted by health challenges, leading her to a new perspective on money as a means to achieve happiness rather than a goal in itself.

We dive into the empowering themes of resilience, boundaries, and self-preservation, discussing the foundation of her charity supporting young adults who face the illness or loss of parents. Annie also shares her plans for a new podcast, "The Chronicles of Hope," and her upcoming book, highlighting her commitment to legacy and awareness.

Join us as Lesley Thomas delves into Annie's influential approach to life and money, exploring how gratitude and a growth mindset contribute to a more fulfilling and abundant experience.
