152: Master Your Money Mindset with Linda Grizely
Manage episode 419814655 series 3517772
Hello there everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. I’m sure many of you have read the title of this episode and asked “Why is Michelle having a conversation about money on a podcast entitled Thrive Beyond Size?” At first glance it doesn’t seem to fit, I know. But here’s the reason why: there are a lot of similarities between our relationship with food and our relationship with money. In past times when I thought I was doing “really good” with food, I was spending money like crazy because that dopamine hit needed to come from somewhere. So to heal our relationship with our whole selves - food, weight, work, money - I’ve invited financial planner and founder of Mindset & Money, Linda Grizely, to talk with me today.
I struggle a lot with money and Linda is no stranger to helping people like me improve our relationships with money. Whatever internal obstacles we have can be confronted by changing our mindset, and Linda is an expert in setting a positive mindset around money. Linda notes that a lot of how we deal with money is handed down from what we experience our parents or grandparents doing and changing that script is part of how we change our mindset. We talk about habits like not living within our means or overspending and Linda explains the reasons behind those mindsets and scarcity mindsets. Our conversation covers how understanding finance can help alleviate the stress surrounding it, why struggling to make peace with how we view money is very similar to the struggle we have with loving our bodies, and how to decide when to prioritize ourselves versus setting aside savings. Linda’s insight gave me a lot to think about in terms of my own money views and I hope you feel similarly inspired by this episode.

About Linda Grizely:
Welcome to Linda Grizely, your Money Mindset Mentor. Linda is passionate about guiding women through transformative journeys.
In her career as a financial planner, Linda witnessed clients facing self-imposed obstacles that hindered their financial growth. Many times, she found herself thinking, "If only they could break free from these internal barriers." Or more realistically, “They need to get out of their own way!”
Reflecting on this, Linda thought about her own experiences with money. Growing up in a lower-middle-class household, she had inherited a scarcity mindset. As her life progressed, she experienced diverse money situations and observed many narratives. Through these vast life experiences, and through self-realization, she set out on a journey of self-improvement and unwittingly rewrote her money script.
Now, she empowers others to overcome internal obstacles to financial success. At Mindset & Money, she enables women to shift their money mindsets, dismantling internal obstacles blocking their financial success.
