Trusting your financial coach and being able to have open conversations about anything related to your finances allows you to have a more holistic coaching experience. This is exactly what our guest, Jada Haynes, experienced working with Julie Everett at Financial Finesse. Jada is a postgraduate, first-year student at Harvard Business School and a graduate of Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. Tune in to hear how Jada’s mom positively influenced her financial journey, setting her up to take things to the next level herself. Jada also shares her thoughts on the idea of “money scripts,” how our culture has made talking about money taboo, and how she balances saving for goals and living for today with budgeting. To hear more about Jada’s conversations with Julie and the next-level financial goals she’s shooting for, listen now.

Quotes from this episode:
“Growing up as a Black American in the U.S., money and finances were very important as a means of economic mobility. So I think my mom learned at an early age—to use her financial discipline to build a way out of the south side of Chicago—and climb up the social ladder.” — Jada Haynes [4:14]
“I think because [my mom] really valued the tool of financial success, she passed that on to my sister and me—and ingrained that in us from a lens of money management, budgeting, and saving.” — Jada Haynes [5:06]
“Something that I can see as beneficial for a lot of people that use this service is really about how you can better understand your benefits. I love the fact that Financial Finesse has a strong relationship with my employer, and they understand the intricacies and complexities of the benefits and are able to give me unbiased opinions on what I should be doing and what I should be thinking about.” — Jada Haynes [21:36]

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
