I first interviewed Eve Menezes Cunningham in December 2022 and you can read the original interview here:

“My main relationship with money is one of gratitude.”

What’s changed?

It’s been so interesting to revisit my answers from before.

My relationship with money has both improved and ostensibly got worse – a head injury and months of concussion in 2023 then late diagnosis of ADHD in 2024 (aged 49; how did it take me THIS long to realise I was impulsive???) made things worse.

I’ve been really getting into the weeds around my spending, earning and EVERYTHING (even when I want to cry with frustration because I struggle so much with numbers), tracking things and working with my nervous system (the way I do in all other areas of my life and have been supporting clients in doing for over a decade – why did it take me SO LONG to apply what I know to money?).
