EP126: Money Mindset Matters For Working Creatives with Pamela George

Melissa Hartfiel and Pamela George Season 4 Episode 126

All of us have money mindset challenges. Whether they're rooted in our childhood or our choice of a career (starving artists, anyone?), we can carry around a lot of money baggage that gets in our way and stops us from being financially empowered women. That's where today's guest, Ottawa based financial literacy consultant Pamela George, steps in.

After experiencing a childhood rooted in poverty and homelessness, Pamela knew she was going to change the script for herself. Now she helps other women heal from money trauma, improve their relationship with money and start building wealth in their lives and businesses.  Today, with the help of her powerful story,  she's helping us get rid of that starving artist mindset and align our money mindset with our values.

TRIGGER WARNING: description of an incident of domestic violence from 14:15 - 14:35.
