What if the way we approach money, health, and success is shaped by the same underlying force: fear?

In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and Kim Potgieter are joined by Dr Riaz Motara, leading cardiologist, founder of the Cardio Group, and pioneer of the Women’s Heart Clinic, for a deeply reflective conversation about wellbeing, identity, and the stories that quietly drive our behaviour.

Together, they draw striking parallels between how we manage our health and how we manage our money. They unpack how early conditioning shapes adult habits, why high achievers often struggle to feel “enough,” and how fear can quietly drive financial decisions, overwork, and a loss of meaning.

The episode closes with a powerful reflection on legacy. Not only what we leave behind financially, but the wellness habits, emotional awareness, and sense of purpose we model for those who come after us.

A thoughtful conversation about health span, wealth, self-worth, and the courage to rewrite stories that no longer serve us.
