The Connection Between Money and Mental Health With Maureen Scanlon

Published on: 13th March, 2025

In this episode of I Date Money, host Lisa Drennon, the Wealth Activator, sits down with Maureen Scanlon, master life coach, author, speaker, and podcast host. If you're a divorced mompreneur struggling with cash flow and money confidence, this conversation is for you!

Maureen shares her transformational money story, from growing up in a scarcity mindset, navigating financial struggles as a military wife, overcoming divorce-induced money panic, and ultimately reclaiming her financial independence. Together, Lisa and Maureen dive into the psychology of money, breaking generational cycles, and shifting from money fear to financial confidence.


Lisa also drops major financial wisdom for divorced moms, covering:


✅ Why your relationship with money matters more than your income


✅ How financial security—not just freedom—creates peace of mind


✅ The emotional baggage that keeps women from building wealth


✅ Why ignoring your finances is the biggest risk you can take


✅ Practical steps to rewrite your money story and take control

Golden Nugget from Maureen: "The more I thought I needed money, the less money came. The less I thought about money, the more money came."


If you're tired of feeling like money controls you instead of the other way around, this episode will shift your mindset and your bank account!
