- Talking about money is difficult. People don't tend to talk about the same way they might talk about fitness or food habits or meditating. It's equally important though and it's very easy to go wrong with it. - Should keep this in mind particularly when I work with those who are lower income since they're more likely to deal with this.

It’s just not a topic that we talk about a lot because it’s personal. We don’t talk about our struggle with money as much as we even talk about our struggles with our fitness journey.
