132. What your money anxiety is actually about — Jessica Moorehouse

Some episodes age like fine wine and this is one of them. Jessica Moorhouse (Accredited Financial Counsellor, bestselling author of Everything But Money, and host of the More Money Podcast) joined Andrea for one of the most honest, warm, and genuinely useful conversations this show has ever had about money. Jessica shares about the feelings, the stories, and even the stuff we inherited without realizing it.
