Diana Yanez, Certified Financial Planner and host of the Highly Sensitive Money Podcast joined Tony on the Get Ready Before Life Happens podcast to explore how understanding who you are and what you care about can help you build a healthier, more values-aligned relationship with money.

Key Takeaways

🔹 Aligning money and work with your values builds clarity, energy, and purpose.

🔹Highly sensitive people relate to money through empathy, overwhelm, and deep processing.

🔹Community investing uses money to strengthen solidarity and shared good.

🔹Knowing who you are helps clarify who you are best positioned to serve.

🔹Values-aligned investing can be simple, starting with where you choose to invest.

🔹Marginalized experiences shape money beliefs through both harm and resilience.

🔹Self-trust is key to money confidence

🔹Your worth is not your net worth

💭 Tony’s Take: Financial readiness includes emotional safety and self-trust. When people understand that money is a psychological and values-based decision rather than a measure of worth, they gain permission to engage with it on their own terms.
