In this week's podcast we chat about the M word- the money- in terms of us growing up as poor kids, setting up a CIC, the gender nuances and the invisible role of home carers which is really being thrown into profile in our own lives in lockdown. We are getting our big girl pants on and looking at our relationships with money and our goals and recovery around it. We are also looking at the new Institute of Happiness research around measuring countries' wealth and tools to keep us well in uncertain times.
