‘you Only Have One Brain’: The Money Coach Who Says Your Mental Health Is Key To Wealth
After years of anxiety and burnout, finance expert Shang Saavedra says the path to financial freedom may start with your therapist
Shang Saavedra was an immigrant family’s dream: She earned stellar grades and made her way to Harvard. Upon graduation she was making six figures, living frugally and investing at least $20,000 every year. She went to business school, got married, started a family – and was crushed by the pressure of it all.
“My parents were constantly comparing me against a pretty impossible standard for education,” recalled Saavedra, who was born in rural China and moved to Boston when she was 10. “Those voices never stopped in my head: ‘Am I ever going to be considered successful? Am I ever going to do right by the amount of money they put into my education?’”
