In this heart-to-heart episode of "I Don't Know But...," we’re tackling a common misconception: that money is evil and loving money is wrong. 🌟💖

Far from being evil, having money opens up opportunities to provide for your family, support causes you care about, and fulfill your dreams and desires.

We’ll discuss how to shift your mindset around money, embracing it as a means to create a better life for yourself and those you love. By fostering a healthy relationship with money, you can unlock its potential to bring positive changes and experiences into your life.
