In this episode I (alongside former co-host Garrett Philbin) chat with Yulia Steshenko, a certified financial planner who is committed to inclusive financial planning and disability advocacy. We talk about how her disabilities and receiving government assistance has shaped her relationship with money, and why she still struggles with a need to prove herself to others. We also talk about how gratitude has been instrumental in helping her be at peace with where she is, and how she’s found the ability to give so much to others regardless of her circumstances.
