A New Way of Being – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, we tackle a subject that affects us all but remains somewhat taboo —money. Anna joins me to share her powerful journey from financial uncertainty to mastering her finances, and together, we explore how much headspace money takes up when we’re not in control of it. Financial stress can cloud our ability to think clearly, reduce our creativity, and drain our energy, but by understanding our relationship with money, we can free up that space for the things that matter most. What we discuss: How the mental load of financial stress weighs us down, and why building financial literacy can unlock creativity and fresh perspectives. Anna’s personal story of escaping the paycheck-to-paycheck trap, and the actionable steps she used to regain control. Why financial "drift" happens when we don't have a clear plan, and how you can take purposeful steps towards your financial goals. Identifying and breaking through limiting beliefs around money, allowing you to cultivate a mindset that supports growth and possibility. Practical strategies for budgeting, automating your finances, and diversifying your income—whether through investments, property, or starting your own business. Throughout the conversation, Anna reminds us that money is just a tool. By creating healthier financial habits, you can reduce stress, reclaim your mental space, and open up new possibilities. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their relationship with money and, ultimately, their quality of life.

We can’t all be better than average – there just isn’t room at the top for everyone. Striving for the top is a nice idea, but the other side of it is: if we become anything other than ordinary, we feel that we have failed somehow. This goal-orientated outlook is widespread. But, is it really important to be remembered as a high achiever or 'Champion'? Isn't it more important to be a kind, caring individual who treats his friends and family well? That's what broadcaster and author Konnie Huq is here to suggest.
