Episode 9: Food, Financial Wellness & Supporting Our Community with Kristin Hughes
What does food have to do with financial wellness? More than you might think. On this episode of the Mindful Money Podcast , we’re joined by Kristin Hughes, Co-Executive Director at FoodChain, to talk about the work behind Neighborhood Green Grocery and what access to fresh, affordable food can mean for a community. We’re talking about the realities of food costs, education around food, and food insecurity, but also the importance of knowing when to use the resources available to you. Kristin shares more about FoodChain’s mission, the story behind Neighborhood Green Grocery and the impact this new resource can have on local families and the community as a whole. We also dig into what it means to be intentional about where we spend our money, how supporting local businesses can create a ripple effect and the many ways we can all play a role in strengthening our community. Because financial wellness isn't just about spending less or saving more. Sometimes, it's about knowing your resources, making mindful choices and understanding the impact those choices can have beyond your own wallet. Tune in for a conversation about food, community and what it really means to be mindful with your money.
