Why is our mental health affected by our financial wellbeing?

All our wellbeing parts intersect & make us who we are in this moment.

These are defined as our pillars of wellbeing.

There are tons of research papers that reveal how intrinsically linked our money worries are & how they have an impact on how we eat, how we sleep, how we interact at work & with friends.

Mind is a wonderful resource that has a lot of articles & you can get incredible support within.

When we feel low, depressed, & worried about money it can be all-consuming. Often the practicalities of which next step to take is clouded with emotions & there are heartbreaking stats on suicide being linked to depression & money problems.

If we think about how the cost of living crisis is creating feelings of anxiety, especially in people who have never experienced this before we know that there could be serious trouble ahead.

When you can't make ends meet, you will need some regulated intervention. StepChange is a great place to start as is good old Citizens Advice.

When I say I'm IN debt, I feel trapped. Like I'm squelching around in quicksand & being sucked downwards...

When I say I HAVE some debt, it removes it from me. It's something I need to sort out. It's not a physical part of me.

That takes some pressure off. What do you think about this?

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.

Let's sort out a robust plan that flexes with you in all of life's seasonal changes.

If worrying about money is keeping you awake at night, making you feel irritable & reducing your overall daily productivity & energy it's definitely time to take action.

Don't let it fester, like a toothache. That never has a happy ending!

A beautiful balance of support, guidance & practical actions will move you from where you are now to where you need to get to.

And that is exactly how I can help you.

Money is a tool.
It will take you wherever you wish
but it will not replace you as
the driver

Useful Tips & Extra Resources

🤍 Admitting to yourself you could use some help. We all do, we're not robots with an inbuilt knowledge of everything.

Did you learn how to manage your money in school?

Me neither.

🤍 Talking to a loved one is a tonic, a release & a weight off. A good friend will always listen. There's a chance they're feeling similarly too.

🤍 If you're feeling isolated & alone or your partner is simply on another plane of existence when it comes to money, do visit Mind, Citizens Advice or Relate.

What to do next?

Budgeting for your financial wellbeing is my most loved product - take a peak below.

A few extra tips

🤍 Does your workplace offer financial or mental wellbeing assistance? Often work benefits get overlooked but you could have some great resources available.

I deliver workshops for fantastic companies in partnership with a company called FinWELL - you can see me about ½ way down this linked page!

This is a big thing for companies to offer now, so if you're thinking it's just you & you're feeling silly or ashamed that you haven't got your act together, trust me many MANY people haven't either.

🤍 Statistically ½ of the UK adult population have never written down a budget, a spending plan, so it's no wonder that money causes so much stress.

If you're not controlling what you do with it, especially after having worked so hard for it in the first place, you're not going to FEEL in control.

This exacerbates feelings of anxiety.

🤍 So let's get you sorted shall we?
