Money and mental health on the Women & Money podcast: Coping with redundancy, loss of income, and working from home alone or with kids
The past year has put a terrible strain everyone – our physical health, our finances and our mental health.

In this episode of the Women & Money Podcast, Fidelity investment director Maike Currie and This is Money knowledge and product editor Sarah Davidson are joined by Leah Milner, money journalist and mental health campaigner, to discuss the relationship between money and our mental wellbeing.
With the impact of COVID-19 heightening the concerns that many people have, we explore the steps people can take to feel more in control.
