Send us a textWelcome back to the Self-Reflection Podcast, where we dive into conversations that empower and enlighten. I'm Lira Ndifon, and today I'm thrilled to introduce you to my dear friend, Ugochi, a brilliant accountant and entrepreneur from the Bay Area. We're tackling a topic that touches everyone: finance, and how it intricately weaves into our mental well-being.Ugochi, the founder of One-Up Accounting and a master's degree holder, shares her journey from helping classmates understand accounting to building a thriving business. She emphasizes the importance of understanding your financial landscape, whether you're a small business owner or an individual planning for the future. We discuss how she helps clients see the real numbers behind their ventures, enabling them to make informed decisions and achieve their goals.We then delve into the common financial pitfalls young adults face, particularly credit card debt and the lack of emergency funds. Ugochi stresses the significance of being proactive about financial health, not just when it's convenient, but as a consistent lifestyle choice. She shares personal anecdotes and professional insights, highlighting the power of early financial planning and the compounding growth of investments.In honor of Women's History Month, we explore the unique challenges and triumphs of women in finance. Ugochi, raised by a single mother, discusses the importance of financial independence and empowerment. We also address the societal pressures on young women to rely on men for financial support, advocating instead for self-worth rooted in personal values and achievements.Finally, we discuss the profound impact of financial stress on mental health. Ugochi shares how childhood experiences and societal influences can shape our financial behaviors and anxieties. She underscores the importance of finding role models and seeking knowledge to navigate financial challenges. We also touch on the "buy, buy, buy" culture prevalent in the US, and how it can lead to unsustainable debt and heightened stress.Thank you for joining us on this enlightening journey into financial freedom and empowerment.
