Talking About Money is Easy Once You Know How | Michelle Arpin-Begina | TEDxBayonne

When it comes to money, how much is your silence costing you? According to speaker and financial literacy advocate Michelle Arpin Begina, the answer is always “too much.”

Michelle breaks the money silence by telling her own story of facing and overcoming inherited money scripts – beliefs like money is power, but it’s messy and unreliable -- to show us why talking about money can transform our lives – and how to do it.

“In order to become good with money,” she says, “we first need to learn how to open our mouths and talk about it -- with ourselves, next with people who can help us, and ultimately, with other people we’re co-creating our financial future with.”

With her trademark wit and style, Michelle takes money from taboo to talkable, and invites you to see what’s possible on the other side of silence.
An Advisor, Author, and Speaker, Michelle has been called the Erin Brockovich of financial literacy for her ability to empower people to ditch their money story status quo for a life of confidence, bold choices, and financial freedom. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
