They say that money makes the world go around, but for a whole lot of us it means sleepless nights and constant worry. For many, the simple thought of money makes us feel inadequate, guilty and wondering when in our adult life we're going to get it right. For others, it means power, status and achievement. For me, having money means freedom and choice.

No matter where you sit on the spectrum, it's fair to say that money is always part of the conversation. So, with fuel prices at an all-time high, the cost of living higher than wages growth and the fallout from the last two years continuing to bite, today's guest is exactly who we need to hear from.

Jo Stewart is a writer, editor and content creator whose words and pictures have been published in more than 40 publications worldwide. Jo's latest book How to Unf*ck your finances shares 100 practical and actionable tips to help us sort out our finances and live the kickass life we all deserve.
