Rewiring Your Mind for Financial Wellness: How Hypnotherapy Can Transform Your Relationship with Money By Anna Kato, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist Have you ever felt a knot in your stomach when checking your bank account?

From Beauty to Balance Sheet: A Letter from the Publisher, Dr. Anita R. Johnson There’s something deeply affirming about seeing your wealth reflected not just in your bank account, but in the beauty that surrounds you. In this month’s powerful issue of Affluence: Financial Fitness for Women, our publisher, Dr. Anita R. Johnson, opens with a moving letter that redefines what it means to be financially empowered—and artistically inspired.
