Money is one of the most persistent sources of stress people carry, often silently and sometimes for years.It affects sleep, anxiety levels, relationships and even how we make everyday decisions. Yet most of us were never actually taught how money works. We’re given a payslip, a tax code you have never questioned, maybe a pension, and expected to just ‘figure it out’ as we go.Then add social media, constant comparison, targeted ads, and endless ‘must-have’ triggers and it becomes easy to feel like you’re already behind before you’ve even begun. In this episode of Vision of Health, Dr Frankie explores why money feels so overwhelming and what it actually takes to feel more in control of it.Dr Frankie is joined by chartered accountant and financial educator Abigail Foster, author of The Money Manual. Alongside her work in practice, she also teaches financial education in schools, helping young people build confidence with money from an early age.Together, we break down what most people were never taught, from understanding payslips and tax codes, to building savings, managing debt, and making long-term decisions without feeling lost or overwhelmed.A grounded, practical conversation designed to take money from confusing and emotional, to simple and manageable.What you’ll learn:Why so many people enter adulthood without ever learning the financial basics. Why feeling ‘bad with money’ is usually about education, not ability. Why money is such a major source of stress, even for working adults. The hidden everyday habits that quietly increase financial stress. The first small step to take if you avoid looking at your finances. How to build a simple budgeting system that actually works in real life. What ‘paying yourself first’ means and how to start, even on a low income. Whether ‘little treat’ culture actually matters financially. What a ‘freedom fund’ or emergency pot is and why it changes decision-making.Whether saving or investing should come first. How to start investing with small amounts, even as a beginner. The trade-offs between saving for a home and investing long term. What to do if you are in debt and feel stuck or ashamed. Simple habits that build financial control over time. Why better financial education could change outcomes for the next generation. Most financial stress does not come from income alone but from uncertainty. Once people understand the basics, money stops feeling so emotional and starts feeling more structured and manageable. This episode is not about being perfect with money. It is about building enough understanding to make better decisions, one step at a time.Watch the full episode on YouTube:Follow Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence: @drfrankiejshttps://www.instagram.com/drfrankiejs/To learn more about Abigail Foster:https://abifoster.com/Follow Abigail Foster on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/abigailrosefoster/If you found this episode useful, share it with someone who feels overwhelmed by money or is trying to finally get on top of their finances.And don’t forget to follow Vision of Health on Instagram too: https://www.instagram.com/visionofhealthpodHosted on Acast.
