Rethinking Money: A Pathway Towards Financial Wellness | Stephanie Mackara | TEDxCharleston

Stephanie Mackara has lived in Charleston for 13 years and is the owner of Charleston Investment Advisors, LLC where she helps clients build healthier financial habits and stay accountable to their goals. Drawing from her own personal struggle with financial scarcity, Stephanie's insights challenge us to flip the script and rethink our relationship with money, advocating for a holistic integration of financial health into our overall well-being. Stephanie is an author and a business owner with an academic background is in psychology and the law which heavily influences my investment and client-centric business model. She believes we need to prioritize financial wellness in the same way we prioritize our physical, mental and emotional wellness. Our past experiences define our money personalities and influence our relationship with money, often to our detriment. Instead of focusing on the traditional methods, we need to rethink and reexamine how we relate to money through mindfulness. Her goal is to empower individual and families to prioritize their financial wellness so they can live a more purpose-driven life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
