Ep. #139 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I dive deep into the journey of financial freedom and wellness with our incredible guest, Shamina Taylor. We explore how fears around finances can hold us back and discuss the impact of childhood trauma on our relationship with money. We talk about the victim mentality versus taking accountability and how to overcome feelings of shame and guilt. Shamina shares practical tips on saving, breaking generational scarcity, and creating a wealthy mindset, as well as how to find your purpose and start small. We even dive into the fun (and slightly cheeky) topic of sugar daddies, how to embrace the art of receiving, and what it really means to redefine wellness when it comes to financial freedom and abundance. Let’s jump in!
