Welcome to the Money Mechanics Podcast with your host, Sarah Poynton-Ryan! In this very first episode, Sarah shares her personal journey from being £60,000 in debt to mastering money and investing. She opens up about the lessons she learned the hard way and how understanding money can radically transform your life.
