Candidate Conversations 2025: Mansfield City Council 1st Ward

This week we’re revisiting our conversation with financial coach and founder of “Tea Talk”, Teana Sykes. Teana joins us to talk about destigmatizing money conversations, building financial confidence, and breaking bad money habits. Teana shares why financial wellness is foundational to overall well-being and why it’s never too early (or too late) to get a handle on your money.

We talk about budgeting, saving, and the emotional side of finances, and Teana gives practical tips for how to start where you are with what you have.

If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart. Because we were never meant to do this alone. We are always Better Together.
