Talking about those feelings can ease the pressure. That's where financial therapy comes in…In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis is joined by John Hankins, a licensed social worker, Certified Financial Therapist, and Certified Financial Social Worker.

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. You can find her at moneyhealingclub.com and on Instagram @moneyhealingclub.  For listeners of the Business by Nature podcast, she has two special offers: A free Mindful Spending Challenge email course: https://moneyhealingclub.com/challenge 50% off your first month in the Money Healing Club with the code BIZBYNATURE There's no commitment required to join the club, and you can cancel anytime.

Are you building wealth but feel like you can never enjoy it? Do you struggle with money, fearing you carry the same poor financial habits as your parents? Whether you've got a lot of money or a little, many of us face the same mental financial challenges—anxiety, shame, and stress—but it doesn't have to stay this way. Today's guest is living proof that change is possible. After completely turning his financial life around, from maxed-out credit cards, a rock-bottom credit score, repossessions, and empty bank accounts, to achieving financial success, he now teaches others how to do the same. Steven Hughes, a money therapist, focuses on uncovering the financial beliefs shaped during childhood. Steven recognized that the negative money mindset affecting him in his youth also impacted countless others. To address this, he founded the non-profit “Know Money” to help people cultivate a stress-free, anxiety-free, and guilt-free perspective on money, empowering them to achieve true wealth—both mentally and financially.

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.

Episode 69: Our relationship with money is often influenced by personal experiences, cultural upbringing, and deeply rooted beliefs. These invisible drivers shape our financial habits, decision-making, and overall well-being. Financial therapists understand that money decisions aren't just about numbers and logic—they're about people. By recognizing clients' emotional and psychological responses to money, financial therapists create holistic plans that align with each person's values and goals. In this episode, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Emily Millsap, Manager of Financial Planning at Avantax Wealth Management. Early in her financial services career, Emily discovered her passion for behavioral finance and how our core money beliefs are deeply rooted in our generational wealth stories and personal experiences. Kyle and Emily talk about financial therapy and its role in holistic planning. They discuss the key differences between traditional financial advice and financial therapy and how a holistic approach can lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes. Emily also shares the process of managing a centralized planning desk and future trends in the industry. In this episode: [02:41] - Emily's money moment [05:10] - What is financial therapy? [08:09] - Differences between financial therapy and financial advice [11:37] - What it takes to run a successful centralized planning desk [13:35] - Bringing together financial therapy and holistic planning [19:41] - Integrating tax planning into financial therapy [22:52] - Keeping up-to-date with holistic planning [24:47] - Future trends in financial planning [27:23] - Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Financial therapy is a holistic approach to financial planning that considers both the emotional and logical aspects of money management. Understanding clients' emotional responses to financial decisions is essential for providing effective advice. A centralized planning desk streamlines the process for advisors and clients, allowing for a more efficient and effective approach. Emerging trends in the industry include the growing importance of holistic planning, the increasing role of women in wealth management, and the need to navigate the growing availability of financial information. Quotes [08:18] - "Most of us in this industry are problem solvers and solution bringers. But I think we have to get to a point where we humanize financial planning in many ways. And it's not just about getting to the solution but answering the question for the client." ~ Emily Millsap [23:27] - "If we continue to silo our financial lives, which is a very important part of our lives, how do we know the different pieces are working together and that we've got the best pieces in place? I would love to get to a point where this doesn't have to be a question anymore because everyone is doing holistic [planning]." ~ Emily Millsap [24:28] - "If we stay as a team and keep learning as a foundational part of our culture and what we do together, then we will be better positioned to stay on top and continue building an environment where it's okay for any one team member to not know something at any point." ~ Emily Millsap Links  Emily Millsap on LinkedIn Avantax eMoney Advisor MoneyGuidePro RightCapital Think Again Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Inspired by her own challenges with motherhood and postpartum experiences, Lindsey's journey is one of resilience and rediscovering passion. As a guest on our podcast, she shares how she overcame personal obstacles to follow her intuition, leading her to write a book and launch her entrepreneurial path. Lindsay's story highlights the often-overlooked emotional aspects of financial decisions and the critical role of emotional support in achieving financial wellness.Our conversation uncovers the intricate dance between money and emotions, drawing connections between upbringing, ingrained behaviors, and financial choices. We emphasize the necessity of open communication about money within relationships and the impact of social media on spending habits. Lindsey and I discuss why parents frequently overspend on their children and stress the importance of viewing personal and business finances as interconnected parts of a larger financial strategy. Together, we advocate for a holistic approach to financial planning that considers both emotional and practical elements.Building healthy financial habits within a family is another focus of the episode. Regular "money dates" for partners can bridge understanding gaps, while involving children in financial discussions can set the foundation for lifelong money management skills.

We conclude with reflections on intentional living and resisting impulse purchases, offering listeners practical insights to apply to their personal and financial goals.

Our host, Ed Coambs sits down with fellow Financial Therapist Jillian Knight of Her Financial Therapy to talk about her eye-opening journey to financial freedom. The challenges she faced on her road to being debt-free offer a ton of insights into the power of open communication between spouses and the dark truth about mainstream money management programs."Navigating student loans without a financial roadmap was daunting, but it ultimately led me to discover the transformative power of combining therapy with financial guidance."As with many people, Jillian's financial awakening began when she realized the gravity of her student loan burden and her lack of financial education after getting married. With nowhere to go but up, she talks about how she fought through the sense of isolation and overwhelm she felt while paying down her debt, with the guidance of financial expert Dave Ramsey."Rigid financial systems can impose moral judgments and hierarchies that hinder personal growth; recognizing these barriers is essential for fostering a healthier relationship with money."Over time, she and her husband became disillusioned with Ramsey and the shame-based culture prevalent in many similar overly rigid financial programs."Evolving social dynamics, like the pandemic and movements for racial justice, have reshaped my approach to money management, underscoring the need to balance financial goals with self-care and emotional health."But it was really when significant recent events, particularly the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, that led Jillian and her husband to break away entirely from Dave Ramsey and chart their own road to being debt-free–a road that values tolerance and flexibility above all else.She hopes that her unique path to redefining financial therapy inspires others to walk their own journey with intention and empathy!Key Topics:From Performing Arts to Financial Therapy (03:07)Why Most People Don't Realize How Extensive Their Student Loans Are (08:30)Spending Dynamics in the Household (10:12)Why the Saver/Spender Stereotypes Are Harmful (15:14)The Danger of Rigid Financial Programs (21:43)Resources:Her Financial TherapyConnect With Healthy Love and Money: Schedule your free 30-minute Discovery Call About Therapy-Informed Financial Planning™.

"Financial infidelity is in the category of infidelity and the root of it is a hiding and a lying about the truth."   Join our hosts Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines as they chat with Jess Bost, CFP at Lake Avenue Financial. She's spent over 15 years coaching people to get from where they are to where they want to be. It's a passion that finds its roots in her inspiring journey to overcome her own financial struggles.   For Jess, those struggles revolved around one of the toughest periods in her life: dealing with financial infidelity. Listen in as she opens up about the moment she discovered that her partner had been living a financial double-life–hiding mounting credit card debts, separate bank accounts, and loans that eventually led to their separation.   Jess reflects on how the shock of that revelation compelled her to take ownership of her finances, leading her down a path into the world of financial services and, thankfully, eventual reconciliation with her partner.   Through Jess's experiences, you'll learn why it's so important to get clear about your strengths and weaknesses around financial management, as well as, if applicable, those of your partner. Jess is a staunch advocate for no-nonsense, transparent dialogue between spouses, especially early on in the relationship.   By getting clear about each other's money management roles in marriage, you'll be able to nip financial infidelity in the bud!   Key Topics: Jess's Journey to Financial Services (3:56) Dealing with Her Partner's Financial Infidelity (12:36) What Makes a Great Financial Advisor?

was always good at math. As a teenager, she and her Dad would sit in front of the family computer (then, households had one computer), dial up AOL (America Online), and check out the latest stock market figures. Dad, an optometrist, was keenly interested in the markets and enjoyed bonding with Erika over all things involving numbers. Erika studied finance and international economics in college, and following graduation, she took a finance role at IBM. Early on, she discovered the advantages of being in a large company where opportunities for mobility were readily available. Erika moved to the consulting side of the business, serving clients, becoming a project manager in a variety of functional areas, and developing her leadership chops. Interspersed within that time, she married, lived in Asia, had her first child, and moved nine times in ten years. Needless to say, Erika's personal and professional journey was not a linear one. For her, there were many changes: growing up in a household where money was an exciting dinner topic, getting married, having three children, getting divorced, living abroad, moving nine times for a job, and losing a parent. Erika found herself at a crossroads. After a successful decade at IBM, Erika left her corporate role to work on emerging organic food brands, transforming them from innovative products to household names while raising her growing family. Along the way, Erika noticed a gap in how people all over the world talked — or didn't talk — about money, both within family structures, relationships, and workplaces. Erika then discovered the field of Financial Therapy and decided to pursue her graduate Certificate in Financial Therapy from Kansas State University. Today, she works with individuals, couples, families, teams, and corporate wellness programs to improve communication and relationships regarding money. Partnering with her clients, Erika helps them transform their mindsets and beliefs about money, paving the way to clearer choices and new options. In this week's learn more about Erika's journey: Erika created the Financial Wellness Conversation Cards, which allows people to explore the topic of money with 50 thought-provoking questions. Her expertise has been featured in The New York Times, Yahoo! Money, and Time. Learn more and connect with Erika here:
