#22: Conversations about money with young adults.

A healthy relationship with money is foundational to a “Prosperous and Happy” mindset.  Money leaves an imprint on almost everything we do in life and this starts very early, long before we’ve heard of things like compound interest, mortgage rates and salary bonuses.

In this episode of “The Prosperous and Happy life podcast”, I discuss the formative years of learning the value of money and how we can start early, as young adults, with healthy financial conversations in the family.

I’m delighted to be able to explore this topic with Nora Spinks.

Nora is the founder, president, and CEO of Work-Life Harmony Enterprises, a consulting firm that helps clients across all sectors achieve optimal well-being. With over 30 years of experience in the field, she is a nationally and internationally recognized leader and innovator who has worked with over 1000 organizations.

You can hear for yourself in this discussion that Nora is passionate about empowering individuals, families, and organizations to embrace innovation and optimize performance.

Nora is a prolific speaker and author who has delivered over 1500 keynote addresses, workshops, and lectures. She has also published many articles in magazines, trade publications and peer-reviewed journals, co-edited a special journal issue on families in Canada, and co-edited a book on Families, Mobility and Work. She holds multiple certifications, including the GBA+ Certificate, the Indigenous Awareness Introduction, and Scrum: The Basics.
