Money isn’t just about numbers — it’s emotional. In this episode of the Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp, my co-host, Maya Fisher-French and I, explore the hidden impact of financial trauma. From the money messages we absorbed as children to the silent promises we made to ourselves (like "I’ll never be broke again"), our past experiences often shape how we earn, spend, save, or avoid money altogether.

We talk about how these deep-rooted patterns show up in adulthood — whether it's anxiety around checking your bank account or overspending to feel secure. We also share practical ways to start healing and shift your money mindset.

No Job Left Behind – The Power of Event-Based Insurance

Whether you’re a freelancer, teacher, entrepreneur, or corporate
professional — your ability to earn an income matters. But what happens

In this episode of The Woman & Finance Podcast, we break down
event-based cover — a type of insurance designed to support every
occupation, not just the traditionally insured ones.

We’re joined by Bidvest Life to explore why this cover is especially
relevant in today’s unpredictable world, how it differs from traditional
disability cover, and what you should consider when choosing a policy.

✨ This episode is a must-listen for breadwinners, business owners, or
anyone whose income depends on them showing up daily.
