When you think of making healthy choices, there’s a pretty good chance you think of eating your veggies, watching the sweets, drinking water, or hitting the gym. Maybe you even think of things like self-care, seeing a therapist, or meditation.

But one thing most of us don’t think to associate with our health? Our money.

Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Yulin Lee, a financial coach for women. In her mission to help and empower women to become financially savvy to create independence and financial security on their own terms, Yulin frequently talks with women about all the ways our money influences pretty much every other aspect of our lives.

That said, I was super interested when Yulin happened to mention her theory on money and health: When we take care of our money, our health improves, too. 

If you ask me, the theory holds up! When we aren’t financially secure, we’re constantly stressed about it—we worry about whether we have enough, whether we’re saving enough, whether our money is in the right places, etc. And as we all know, stress plays a HUGE role in influencing our physical and mental health.

So, I want to give you a chance to hear my full conversation with Yulin—including the variety of ways money and wellness are tied together, how you can tell if money is behind some of your health issues, and what you can do about your money stress if it is creating issues for you.
