Ep02 Creating financial wellness with award winning Mikaela Patterson

Episode #2 What exactly is financial wellness? For some people the word 'finances' creates a feeling of stress and anxiety. Conversely, the word 'wellness' is a buzz word that often makes people think about meditation and yoga. Put the words together 'financial wellness' and you have yourself mixed feelings and confusion. In this episode, I chat with award winning financial wellness advocate, Mikaela Patterson from Entourage Finance.
