The Team Approach to Financial Wellness Episode 158 Financial wellness is the state of being where you can meet your current and future financial obligations, feel secure in your financial future, and make choices that allow you to enjoy life. It is about money, but more. It is about feeling comfortable and at peace with your financial decision-making, and sometimes involves working with a financial planner and a wealth psychology coach. In today's episode, I talk with Carolyn McClanahan, CFP® and founder of Life Planning Partners, about how we collaborate together to increase the financial well-being of our shared clients. Carolyn worked as a physician before she became a financial planner and discusses the similarity between medicine and financial planning. And I worked as a mental health counselor for 15 years, before opening up my business. We both believe a team approach is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to financial wellness.               Listen to this podcast and discover: The value of the team approach to enhancing financial wellbeing Why some advisors are resistant to working with wealth psychology coaches (or financial therapists)  The boundaries of financial planning vs. wealth psychology coaching  The signs that tell a planner it's time to make a referral  How working with other planners and coaches fosters self-awareness and personal growth - for you and the clients Book and organizations mentioned in the podcast: Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott  NAPFA  XY Planning Network  Alliance of Comprehensive Planners  OTHER WAYS TO ENJOY THIS POST: Listen on Google Listen on Amazon Listen on Stitcher Subscribe on iTunes Listen on Spotify Join Breaking Money Silence on Facebook KBK Connection, Inc., is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com Recent Posts The Team Approach to Financial Wellness | Episode 158 How Financial Life Planning Improves Financial Literacy | Episode 157 A Podcast Even Your Mother Would Love | Episode 156 The Power of Podcasts to Educate | Episode 155 Fintech Takes on Financial Literacy | Episode 154 Be a Financial Literacy Changemaker | Episode 153 Teaching Teens About Money | Episode 152 Entrepreneurship: A Leap of Faith | Episode 151 Being Well-Behaved Might Hurt Your Career | Episode 150 #BreaktheBias | Episode 149 Men and Retirement | Episode 148 Take Control of the Purse Strings | Episode 147 Money, Will You be My Valentine? | Episode 146

Be a Financial Literacy Changemaker Episode 153 Did you know that only 24 states in the United States require a high school personal finance course to be offered to its students? Most school systems that do require it don't make it mandatory for graduation. The result is many young people are not adequately prepared to manage money responsibly as adults. Today's guest, Michelle Arpin Begina, CFP®, CIMA®, is an advisor and changemaker who decided to take action in her home state of New Jersey. She contacted her local legislators, joined a task force charged with updating the financial literacy standards and was instrumental in getting behavioral finance added to the curriculum. This podcast is about how she went from being curious about the financial literacy problem in our country to being an agent of change. Listen to this podcast and discover: Why personal finance education should be offered in schools throughout the United States How some parents may not be equipped to teach their kids how to responsibly manage money Why behavioral finance should be included in the financial literacy standards The steps you need to take to advocate for change in financial education in your state Resources on financial literacy:  NCSL: National Conference of State Legislations (pending FinLit legislation) Council for Economic Education - Survey of States Council for Economic Education - Advocacy Special Offer for our listeners: Michelle has a “Success Formula Guide” for our listeners.

Entrepreneurship: A Leap of Faith Episode 151 Starting a business is a leap of faith combined with a lot of hard work.

In 2012, she founded Shredly, with the goal of giving women of all sizes something to wear mountain biking that was fun and fashionable. A decade later, the company is committed to inclusive sizing, sustainability, and making kick-ass women look great when they ride. Read more about Ashley.

Being Well-Behaved Might Hurt Your Career Episode 150 Is being well-behaved at work hurting your career? It just might be. Too many women focus on trying to fit in with the idea that it will help them get ahead in the male-dominated business world. The results range from getting passed over for promotions, failing to negotiate an equitable wage, and ending up overworked and burnt out.  Today's podcast explores why so many women strive to fit in and how being your authentic self is actually a better path to success. My guest is Shannon McCombie, a leadership expert with a career background in national security, biomedical technology, and corporate strategy. She has years of international experience and has chosen a career path that is interesting and varied - which makes her a perfect guest to discuss the value of not fitting in!   Listen to this podcast and discover: Why being well-behaved may be hurting your career The connection between authenticity, trust, and burnout How to resist the pressure to fit in and instead just be you The importance of sitting with silence during a negotiation How to stand up for your worth by not fitting in Want to connect with Shannon?

#BreaktheBias Episode 149 Today is International Women's Day! To celebrate, I interviewed my colleague and friend, Meg Smith about her work as the Director of the Vermont Women's Fund. While her work is specific to Vermont, the initiatives to #breakthebias and achieve gender parity are applicable around the nation. The Vermont Women's Fund, a component fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, was established in 1994 as an enduring resource for Vermont women and girls. The Fund remains the first philanthropic resource in the state dedicated exclusively to this mission. A council of women from around Vermont advises the Fund and participates in its grantmaking, fundraising, and leadership work. As Director, Meg is helping to improve the future for young women and girls using her community organizing, marketing, and fundraising skills.

Men and Retirement Episode 148 Over the past decade, the field of finance has delved into the topic of women and transition. There are white papers, educational presentations (some I have given!), and communities dedicated to helping women plan for retirement or move on after a divorce or death of a spouse. But what about the guys? Where is the research, education, and support for men in transition? My podcast guest, Michael Kay, CFP® asked the same questions and decided to start a blog, Chapter X, to explore these issues. The blog was a success, so he started a podcast too! Having recently sold his financial services practice, Michael now coaches men on how to navigate this life transition and is an advocate for breaking money silence on this often taboo topic. You may have heard of Michael Kay before. He is a fee-only CFP®, Registered Investment Advisor, founder of Financial Life Focus, and the author of several books including The Feel Rich Project. He has written for Forbes, Psychology Today, and been named of the Top 100 Most Influential Advisors by Investopedia. His list of accomplishments goes on and on (read more), but the best part about Micheal is his warm heart, willingness to listen, and his willingness to be a role model for men entering their retirement years.
