Ep. 84 - Changing the Money Narrative with Heather Coleman

In this episode of the Expert Speaker Podcast, host Majeed
Mogharreban sits down with author, TEDx speaker, and financial
wellness advocate Heather Coleman for a powerful and refreshingly
real conversation about one of the last great taboos—money.
Heather unpacks why financial wellness is the missing piece in
most wellness programs, how our earliest money stories shape our
adult behaviors, and what we can do today to take control of our
financial future. From practical steps like 15-minute "money
dates" to rethinking how we educate our kids about finances,
Heather brings both strategy and soul to the money conversation.


Key Takeaways:




Money is one of the few universal forces that touches every
aspect of our lives—and yet, we rarely talk about it.




Financial wellness is directly tied to mental wellness,
productivity, and peace of mind.




Your relationship with money is unique, and your strategy
should be too.




Start small: 15 minutes a month updating your net worth
tracker can change everything.




Don’t cut what brings you joy—learn to build a strategy that
includes it.




Financial literacy should start at home and be embedded into
our school systems.




You don’t have to go it alone. Build a team: financial
planner, accountant, money coach.
