In an empowering session earlier this year, Vanessa Bowen opened her talk with these words: Our relationship with money is the longest one we will ever have. Money impacts every part of our lives, from our personal growth and emotional well-being to our financial future. But how many of us truly understand this relationship? 

The truth is, none of us knows what tomorrow holds. We’re not guaranteed next week, next month, or even the next hour. But we do have today. And today, we can choose to love ourselves a little more fiercely. To slow down. To rest without guilt. To stop proving and start being.
