Financial Emotional Resilience™: A Toolkit for Aspiring Mentors 📚

Before you buy, pause and ask yourself: ‘Do I really want this—or just reacting to a feeling?’ Give yourself space by setting a budget and waiting a day. Later, check back—does this still align with your goals for the week or month?

We can connect you with young people in the community who are seeking mentorship in various areas. We also have many individuals who are eager and ready to serve as mentors.

Yes, and thank you for naming that—everyone’s money mindset is deeply personal and evolves through different life stages. At PlayMoolah, we’ve seen powerful shifts happen when people feel safe enough to reflect and reframe.

One young person came to us believing they were ‘bad with money’ because they couldn’t save. But through guided reflection and small budgeting experiments, they uncovered that their spending was actually meeting emotional needs they hadn’t acknowledged. That self-awareness helped them reframe their narrative from shame to compassion—and build healthier habits over time.

Another example is a young adult who had just started working and felt immense pressure to ‘have it all together’ financially—saving, investing, supporting family. Underneath that was a belief they inherited: that self-worth is tied to earning power. Through our sessions, they unpacked that narrative and realised it was driving burnout and anxiety. By reframing their story, they began to see money not just as performance, but as a resource to support a meaningful life. That mindset shift allowed them to set healthier boundaries and financial goals aligned with their values—not just external expectations.
