As I say in the Business by Nature podcast introduction, when the world is telling us to do business one way, what happens when we do it our own way?  If you've ever said: I'm sh*t with money. I've always been bad with money. I'm a failure. I can't do this right. I can't talk to my parents about money anymore. I ought to be better at this, and it terrifies me. I feel like I should be in a better financial place than I am. I actively avoid my money, or I flat out forget about it. My parents have bailed me out more times than I care to admit. Tune into this episode to understand what's ADHD, what's culture, and what's generational differences and all the different intersections that play out. Duncan has a similar way of thinking. She says, “You haven't done the rest of life the way everyone else does it, so why would you do money and business the way everyone else is doing it?” Rachel runs the Money Healing Club, which she dubs “the softest place to land in personal finance.” She used to try to separate her two life passions of Financial Therapy and Art Psychotherapy, but as clients found her, she realized the two weave together for deep money healing that ripples out beyond personal finance. Art is healing, and it's a powerful way to move through blocks without linear pushing. If you've ever said: I'm sh*t with money. I've always been bad with money. I'm a failure. I can't do this right. I can't talk to my parents about money anymore. I ought to be better at this, and it terrifies me. I feel like I should be in a better financial place than I am. I actively avoid my money, or I flat out forget about it. My parents have bailed me out more times than I care to admit. Tune into this episode to understand what's ADHD, what's culture, and what's generational differences and all the different intersections that play out. Rachel shares some of the financial support systems, tools and methods she uses with neurodiverse members of her community. She finds that these tools are universally helpful for money healing. Budgets and spreadsheets are typical financial tools, but the methods she employs are approaches such as: Landing softly Being welcomed Creating a judgement free space Joining a friendly community Having a group experience with folks working through similar challenges Body doubling All of these calm and support the nervous system so deep healing can begin. From that space there's an opportunity to connect with values.  If you're not just trying to keep yourself out of the red but actually want your money and your spending to mean something, tune in to this latest episode of the Business by Nature podcast. You'll come away with a deeper understanding of the neuroscience at play in your brain so you can circumnavigate the urge to impulse shop as well as the crash state that weakens resolve. Rachel Duncan is a Financial Therapist and Art Therapist. She helps people who impulse spend and avoid money regain their confidence and knowledge about finances. She works 1:1, hosts a community, and runs group intensives.

I have a Masters degree in Somatic Psychology from Naropa University, 1998, and ran a bookkeeping business for therapists and artists. In 2001, I merged all my training and created a somatic-based Financial Therapy methodology that I've been teaching via my Art of Money program and a Mentor Program. I am also the Author of The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness and The Art of Money Workbook. In my group programs and private financial therapy, I've guided thousands of people to bring healing, un-shaming, and empowerment to our money relationships and all that it touches. I live in Boulder, Colorado with my husband, son, many cats + large puppy.OTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS:Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn are common trauma responses that reveal how the nervous system reacts to stress or danger. In this episode, we explore these instinctive behaviors and their impact on emotional regulation, decision-making, and relationships.The four trauma responses most commonly recognized are: Fight – when we believe that if we are able to maintain power over the threat, we will gain control. This can look like physical fights, yelling, physical aggression, throwing things, and property destruction. It can also look like balling your hands into fists, feeling a knot in your stomach, crying, being argumentative, or experiencing a tight jaw.Flight – when we believe that if we are able to escape the threat and avoid conflict, then we will not be harmed. This can look like running away and avoiding interactions with others," notes Moronu. To avoid uncomfortable feelings, you may escape the situation by staying busy or fleeing for the exit whenever things get tough. Freeze – it might look like being at a loss for words, retreating into your mind, having a hard time breaking out and being present, sleeping, dissociating/spacing out, and going emotionally or physically numb.”Fawn – people-pleasing and engaging in pacifying behaviors. It's characterized by prioritizing people above all else by doing whatever they want to diffuse conflict and receive their approval. It seems good to be well liked and defer to others to secure safety, but not when it's at the cost of losing yourself. It can reach a point where you abandon yourself and your needs by merging so thoroughly with others.“Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn: Examining The 4 Trauma Responses” – Julie NguyenTamara SlaytonPeter LevinePersonal Geometry and Family Constellation Work The Big Leap by Gay HendricksSo Barbara Stanny Overcoming Under Earning Mikelann ValterraENCOURAGE US!: Donate $5 THE WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS.

“Sometimes, ‘good enough' is good enough. You don't have to be extreme. In fact, extreme is so confining. Those things that are the most rigid are most susceptible to complete collapse. Building in flexibility can sometimes make things sustainable over time.”New Healthy Love and Money team member Dr. Christine Hargrove joins our host Ed Coambs to share her unique approach to financial therapy through the lens of neurodiversity.Walking us through her unique journey from religious studies to becoming a pioneer in financial therapy, Dr. Hargrove walks us through her experiences working with individuals and families affected by ADHD.Achieving breakthroughs in people's financial lives requires an understanding of diverse money mindsets and a willingness to get personal, in order to navigate financial stress more effectively. She contrasts the often rigid advice of mainstream financial influencers with the adaptable strategies of empathy-focused financial therapists like herself.Christine and Ed also get into the emotional impact of financial trauma, using her personal experiences from the 2008 financial crash to illustrate how economic events can shape your personal identity and family dynamics, for better or worse. Recognizing and bridging the gap between financial intentions and behaviors between your relationships, she says, promotes not only understanding, but also positive reinforcement within yourself.Finally, Dr. Hargrove speaks on the concept of proactive relationship wellness. She encourages couples to seek guidance early to manage financial stress more effectively, which of course allows them–and even their kids–to enjoy healthier, more fulfilling relationships with money.Key Topics:Dr. Hargrove's Inspiring Career Journey (00:00)Why We Get Intimidated to Talk About Money (11:43)How Dr. Hargrove's Own Relationship with Money Has Changed Over the Years (16:10)Facing Our Shame Around Our Financial Struggles (28:25)How Financial Stress Impacts Our Kids in Their Formative Years (32:56)Working with Couples as a Financial Therapist (40:17)Why We Shouldn't Overly Focus on Consequence and Accountability (48:50)Dr. Hargrove's Parting Words of Wisdom (53:53)Connect with Healthy Love and Money:Schedule your free 30-minute Healthy Love and Money Discovery Call Today.Learn about your money and attachment style with this short Attachment Style Quiz.Buy the Double Award Winning Book: The Healthy Love and Money Way.

This week, I'm joined by Amanda Clayman, a therapist turned financial wellness and relationship coach who focuses her work on the intrinsic connection between money and mental health. Amanda's 30 years of experience in the field allows her to dive into some of the thorniest, most personal dilemmas we face, in order to bring compassionate clarity to the conversation.   Amanda is a clinician, coach and speaker specializing in money issues. She entered the mental health field with a unique focus: the role of money in people's lives. Her journey into this niche began in her 20s when she noticed how deeply emotional her relationship with money was. Financial challenges she faced were more about underlying emotional wounds than mere poor financial decisions. As she delved into therapy for herself, she realized that simply understanding these emotional roots wasn't enough to change her behavior, it required dedicated focus and effort. Determined to transform these insights into healthier financial behaviors, Amanda questioned why the intersection of finance and emotional health wasn't more widely addressed. This sparked a passion within her to help others navigate the same path. She found herself compelled to continuously explore and work in this area, aiming to illuminate the connection between money and emotional well-being for her clients.   Find More from Amanda:  Her Website: https://amandaclayman.com/ Emotional Inve$tment Podcast: https://www.audible.com/pd/Emotional-Investment-Audiobook/B0CYN8HKKP   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

Happy Satiated Saturday! I wish financial literacy was taught in schools earlier on in life. I've had so many conversations with others about the deep shame and personal judgment that can arise when you feel unclear about how to navigate your money life. And how does this connect with food?Well, often how we interact with one area of our life is how we respond to all other areas. Have you ever noticed that when you want to eat everything you also want to spend your money on things you potentially don't need? Have you ever noticed that when you're restricting your food intake you're worrying about not having enough money?Both food and money are a reflection of what's going on inside your body. Just as I talk about eating is a somatic practice, you can approach your relationship with money in a similar somatic way.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I talk with Bari Tessler, M.A. in Somatic Psychology, Financial Therapist and Author, about body check-ins when making financial decisions, money dates, emotional awareness in managing money, the connection between Enneagram types and money habits, and practical steps to start your journey toward a healthier relationship with money. You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/revolutionize-your-money-habitsWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Bari here:Website: https://baritessler.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baritessler/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bari-tessler/Book: The Art of MoneyThe Art of Money WorkbookSupport the Show.Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/discount/STEPHANIEMARA?rfsn=7433250.c99684Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensound.co...

After seeing some of Lindsay's work through a friend, we knew we needed to have her on our podcast. Lindsay Bryan Podvin is a licensed social worker turned financial therapist, and the first of her kind in Michigan! As a financial therapist, Lindsay's job is to look at the emotional side of money and help others with their mind/money connection.Money is a hot topic whether you're single, partnered, or married. Sometimes we think we are doing worse financially than we really are. Lindsay's work with individuals and with community groups has shown that you may not be as bad off as you think! It's important that we understand our emotions behind money and understand things like why it may be hard to stick to a budget and why we feel the way we do about money. And it's people like Lindsay that can help you figure that out!If you have a partner, discuss and get clear on what your financial goals are as a couple. And if one partner makes more than the other, it's important to have a game plan on how your finances will be shared. Making sure that you are being transparent about your debts, salary, and spending habits is part of financial fidelity. Lindsay touches on other trending topics like “loud budgeting”, 9 financial goals for couples in their 30s and 40s, her financial type quiz and book titled “The Financial Anxiety Solution”, and even gives us a mini therapy session!

Have you ever wondered how to balance your love for travel with financial wellness?In a recent episode of the Transform with Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Erika Wasserman, certified financial therapist. Erika brings a wealth of knowledge, not just from her professional life but also from her personal experiences. Erika explains the core of financial therapy: understanding the intertwining of money and emotions. A strong relationship with money offers choices and opportunities, while a weak one can lead to feelings of defeat and helplessness. Erika emphasizes the need for financial education and open conversations about money, which are often neglected in many households.Kelly addresses a common concern – how to save for big trips without feeling financially irresponsible. Erika introduces the concept of a "Yes Plan," focusing on what you want to say yes to instead of feeling restricted by a budget. She shares practical tips like setting travel alerts, flying economy on less busy days, involving the family in saving efforts, and visualizing your travel goals to build momentum and make savings enjoyable.Reflecting on her extensive travels, Erika underscores that travel taught her life's fragility and the importance of seizing moments with loved ones. Whether on grand adventures or daily micro-explorations, appreciating the present and those around us enriches life immeasurably.We talk about:00:00 Intro02:21 Rapid Fire Questions with Erica03:35 Erica's Journey to Financial Therapy07:25 The Roller Coaster of Life and Financial Control12:09 Erica's Love for Travel18:18 Balancing Travel and Financial Wellness26:02 Choosing Experiences Over Material Possessions26:37 Family Money Stories and Values27:37 Fluidity of Financial Priorities28:16 Travel on a Budget30:34 Communicating Financial Priorities with Partners31:17 Handling Different Travel Preferences in Relationships35:31 Communicating Financial Plans with Family37:34 Setting Realistic Financial Goals for Travel40:49 Understanding Your Money Mindset48:28 Final Thoughts and Life Lessons from TravelMentioned in This Episode:Byte: https://transform-with-travel.captivate.fm/byteandcoffee Connect with ErikaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourfinancialtherapistwww.yourfinancialtherapist.com Connect with meFollow the Podcast on IG: www.instagram.com/transformwithtravel Instagram: www.instagram.com/kelly.tollidayInstagram www.instagram.com/risingnatureretreats Website: https://risingnatureretreats.com

We often think about Survivor Guilt as something that happens to survivors of accidents or natural disasters, but a financial twist also happens. Financial Survivor's Guilt is a phenomenon where individuals feel guilty for their financial stability while others around them struggle. People who experience this might experience similar symptoms of traditional survivor guilt: racing thoughts, anxiety, and physical pain or discomfort. In this episode, I cover this phenomenon, and give listeners ideas for how to cope with it and dial down the intensity of those symptoms [Hint: it doesn't involve giving away all of your worldly possessions and living in the woods].

We can spend a lot of time working on our own relationship with money, but it's equally important to know how to discuss it with others. If you've ever clammed up or stumbled over your words, you're not alone. And frankly, whether it's explaining to your nieces and nephews why you can't buy them ice cream again or discussing a house down payment with your partner, money conversations are inevitable. Despite our progress, surveys show people still find talking about money more awkward than discussing sex. But trust me, many of us want to have these conversations; we just don't know how to start. In this episode, I'm laying out 5 steps to help you have the money talk.

It's no secret that mental health is a fundamental part of overall wellbeing. 1 in 5 American adults experience a diagnosable mental health condition annually, and 1 in 4 will experience a mental illness at some time in their life. I'm a believer that we don't need to have a diagnosable mental illness to tend to our mental health. Especially because our mental health impacts how we think, feel, and behave financially. In this video, I'll share more about how money and mental health intersect, including how it impacts those without a diagnosis and how we can tend to our financial and mental health. Whether you're experiencing mental illness,  an employer hoping to better support your team, or an ally helping a loved one, I've got practical tips to help you at the intersection of money and mental health.

Learn more at www.moneyhealingclub.com/healing-circle Use coupon code: NOTAVGLAW at checkout for 10% off I discovered Rachel when she became a prospective content who inquired about trademark services. Looking through her website I knew she'd be a great fit for the podcast. While I give people the technical skills to get their business finances together, if they are looking for help with the money mindset around that I want to point them in the direction of specific resources. I know that people need this because it would be hard for me to tally up how many people have cried on meetings with me, money is an emotional topic. Rachel and I work through an exercise that she does with her students to identify our, what Rachel calls "money scripts" which are things that we've learned about money that are intense either general senses about money or things that were taught to us by specific people. Make a quadrant on a piece of paper with each one labeled "Income," "Expenses," "Debt" and "Savings." Write down a phrase that immediately comes to mind for each of these words. What are your beliefs or what are the quiet voices saying in your head about each one? For me, my income quadrant was around hearing about our money tree as a kid. Needs were met and I recognized as a kid we were what I call "country middle class" because we could afford to go visit family in Florida every summer, but if I asked for certain wants like a trampoline I'd be told to "go pick the money off the money tree in the backyard." For expenses, I wrote "do you actually need that?" and also wrote, "treat yo'self" from Parks and Rec. I'm a big treat yourself person, I'm a spender. And I saw some of that growing up, so it's not coming from a place of rebellion because spending wasn't allowed. I feel like my parents preached the importance of savings, but I wasn't necessarily witnessing it. No one seemed particularly frugal, other than my grandpa who was also preachy about it. For debt, I wrote "cash only." This comes more from my dad who was the son of a farmer, and the only one of the nine children who didn't go into farming. A lot of the farming was crops that were paid for in a lump sum and they could turn around and buy something with that and then save the rest. My dad's not a farmer, but to this day he doesn't have a credit card. For savings, I wrote "save 10%" and I don't know why my mind went to church tithing. We were always told to save a little bit of the money we got like at Christmas time. From reading books over time I've learned that the reason I've never really been able to save is because it comes from a scarcity mentality. Like when you see money in your bank account and you want to spend it before it's gone. I have trouble letting money accumulate in a certain area. As you do these exercises, identify where these phrases came from in your life and how the people in your life came to believe that, was it war, the Great Depression, etc. Take a few of these, especially if one goes against what you'd like to be doing, and really break them down. For me, I've rephrased my money mantra and I say my business is my money tree and it will be fruitful when I develop it. It brings more abundance but also makes me think I'll just save later because I'll just keep making money. All these quadrants reflect on one another. And savings is quiet, it's not something we see people do so it can feel mysterious whereas spending money is the most visual and tangible. Same with debt, it's less sexy and therefore not talked about the same way. If you could rewrite some of these phrases, what would you say that feels good for you? Rachel suggests ending this exercise by making a new grid, not only with the new phrases, using different words to reframe our mindset as well. Instead of debt, which is a scary word for many people, maybe call it "borrowing money." Debt can be neutral if you borrow money (use a credit card) and then pay it back. Instead of income, look at it as "making money." Savings, look at it as "keeping money" or "future spending." What other words can you use?

Navigating the financial landscape at any stage of life can be daunting. While situations may change, the pressures remain the same, as well as the cultural messages that tell us we need to have more to be more. In this episode, we discover the hidden connection between money and self-worth as we're joined by financial therapist Khara Croswaite Brindle. We tackle the emotional weight of managing money through evolving life chapters, from the youthful skepticism about the value of traditional milestones to the introspective middle age when retirement isn't just a distant concept but a looming reality. Khara introduces us to the empowering practice of conscious spending and challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to success, encouraging a life measured in quality, not just quantifiable assets.Khara also introduces us to the concept of "loud budgeting", which may be the key to unlocking a harmonious financial relationship that allows us to find stability in the ebb and flow of personal finance. Special GuestKhara Croswaite Brindle, MA, LPC, ACS, CFT-I is passionate about turning pain points into possibilities for mental health and financial therapist professionals.
