She Managed Millions. Now She's Helping You Manage Yours | Dinah Poehlmann | #QQ88

In this episode of The Quinntessential Questions Podcast, Paul Quinn sits down with Dinah Poehlmann, Founder of Your Finance Mind and Finance Mindset Coach. From living paycheck to paycheck as a child to spending 14 years across investment banking and private banking, Dinah shares her transformation from banker to entrepreneur — and the accidental WhatsApp group that started it all. She discusses money mindset, overcoming financial fear, self-directed investing, and why the number you're chasing for retirement is totally irrelevant. Dinah also opens up about leaving a high-powered banking career to become a stay-at-home mom, and how a single message to 30 people became the foundation of a coaching business that helps everyday professionals and entrepreneurs take control of their finances. Whether you're stuck in a scarcity mindset around money, unsure how to start investing, or simply want to build a healthier relationship with your finances, this conversation offers hard-won wisdom on money psychology, wealth building, and what it actually means to live a truly rich life.
