The Psychological Impact of Financial Struggles with Chris Rodil (Prof Toff)

Description

Money problems aren’t just about money, they can quietly affect your mental health too. In this episode of Mental Health Ka Diyan, we talk about the real connection between financial stress and mental well-being, something many Filipinos experience today. Kasama natin si Chris Rodil (Prof Toff), a nurse, mental health advocate and educator in crypto, tech, and finance who shares insights from both the mental health and financial world. Pinag-usapan nila ni Kai kung bakit kapag nawawala ang financial options ng isang tao, tumataas din ang pressure, anxiety, at sense of survival. Napag-usapan din kung bakit mahalagang makita ang pera as a tool, not the purpose of life. We also talk about financial literacy, mindset, and the realities people face when trying to improve their financial situation. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by money, pressure, or the feeling that your options are shrinking, this conversation might change how you think about both money and mental health.
