In this episode, we sit down with psychologist, scholar and author Dr. Thomas Vance to discuss book: My Pocket Therapist Journal: Dating & Relationships. Dr. Vance brings his insights and culturally responsive approach to mental health to our conversation, sharing the inspiration behind his 7-week guided journal designed to help people heal from heartbreak, build self-awareness, and foster healthier, more authentic connections. We also discuss Financial Feminist by Tori Dunlap, a book that blends financial literacy with activism. We chat about how emotional well-being and money are deeply connected, particularly for women and marginalised communities, and what it means to build financial independence as a radical, empowering act.Together, we unpack emotional patterns in dating, the importance of aftercare and how money can be both a source of stress and a tool for liberation.
