Introducing the Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp podcast series.

Are you ready to take control of your financial future? The Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp podcast series is here to guide you through a transformative journey that will help you understand and master your finances.

Hosted by Maya Fisher-French and Mapalo Makhu, this podcast series is designed to help you build a solid financial foundation, no matter where you are on your money journey.

In the first episode, Maya and Mapalo dive deep into the crucial topic of money and emotions. It’s easy to think of personal finance as just numbers and cents, but our emotional relationship with money plays a significant role in our financial decisions.

Understanding this relationship is the first step towards achieving financial freedom.

Maya and Mapalo share their experiences working with individuals and couples, highlighting how emotional triggers can sabotage our financial goals.

They introduce the Money Story Questionnaire, a powerful tool for uncovering your money story and understanding how your upbringing and past experiences shape your financial behaviour. Completing this questionnaire can provide valuable insights and pave the way for healthier money habits.

One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of open communication about money, especially in relationships.

Maya and Mapalo discuss how different money personalities can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings, but also how empathy and understanding can strengthen financial partnerships.

They share real-life examples of couples who transformed their financial lives by understanding each other’s money backgrounds and working together towards common goals.

The episode also touches on the concept of generational wealth and financial education. Maya and Mapalo emphasise that teaching children about money and involving them in financial discussions can set them up for success in the future.

By modelling healthy money behaviours and creating an environment where financial topics are openly discussed, we can empower the next generation to make informed financial decisions.

As the series progresses, listeners can look forward to practical tips and expert insights on a wide range of financial topics, including budgeting, credit management, saving and investing, life insurance, medical schemes, retirement planning, and more.

Each episode is designed to provide actionable steps that you can implement in your own financial journey.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your financial strategy, the Santam Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp offers valuable guidance and support. Join Maya and Mapalo as they share their expertise and help you take control of your financial future.
