73 : An Entirely New Way To Relate To Money with Sarah McCrumb - Part 1
The Mindful FIRE Podcast
How to Be Financially Independent
"I would say really look for freedom, not just independence. Independence is a bit of a myth because we're never independent," she says. "It's something to practice and get better at ... don't worry about doing it wrong."
Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond.
On today's episode of the podcast, I'm excited to bring you a really special guest. Sarah McCrum. Sarah was introduced to me by a former guest Morgan Bricca. Morgan joined us on episode six, seven and fourteen of the podcast.
Sarah is an author educator and business innovator. She's the founder of Liberate Humanity, which is a place for learning and sharing the skills for liberation of the human spirit. Sarah has spent more than 20 years teaching and coaching business owners and their families.
She is the creator of the innovative program “Thank You Money” based on the principles of her book, Love Money, Money Loves You.
