In this powerful episode of Mind Over Matter, we’re joined by Matt Paradise—bestselling author, financial wellness expert, and cancer survivor—who went from teenage homelessness to becoming a self-made millionaire. Matt unpacks why budgeting alone isn’t the answer, how trauma shapes our money mindset, and why “whole health wealth” is about more than just numbers. You’ll learn how financial stress affects your mental and physical well-being, why hope is the foundation of wealth, and how employers can (and should) support financial wellness at work.
