Podcasts about financial therapy

Welcome to the very first NoBS Wealth® Roundtable, and we came out swinging. No softball intro topic. We went straight at the thing most people will never say out loud: the shame, the guilt, and the freeze that show up every time money gets hard. I brought four people who actually live in this work every day. Ashley Quamme and Rachel Duncan, both financial therapists. Tessa Santarpia, who works on the nervous system side of all this. And Kristina Hall, marketer, business owner, and the person keeping me honest. Watch it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/tC04eXprje4Here's the truth nobody tells you. Guilt and shame are not the same thing, and that difference changes everything. Guilt says "I made a bad choice." Shame says "I am a bad person." One you can work with. The other one keeps you stuck for years. We break down why your brain defaults to the worst possible story, why financial trauma is a real thing that deserves to be treated, and why comparing your insides to everyone else's outsides is a losing game every single time.Then we got into the freeze. It's 2026. Tariffs, wars, student loans restarting, businesses failing, headlines designed to keep you scared. A lot of you are responding by shutting down, Uber Eats-ing your life, and not moving at all. We talk about what to actually do when the world feels too heavy to function. Shrinking your time horizon. Looking for the glimmers. Treating your hobbies like the got-to-haves they are. And the single budget line item I put in every plan that gives you permission to spend on yourself without the guilt.The last topic hit closest to home. First gen wealth guilt. Four women who are my exact clientele, business owners carrying not just their own pressure but generations of it. Ashley on having no model for the life she wanted. Rachel on being a cycle breaker who's still uncomfortable with her own wealth. Kristina on her mom asking "did you find a job yet?" for four years straight. If you're building something nobody in your family built, this part is for you. Tessa's work on all of this lives at https://santaia.health/, and every panelist's full bio is on the Collective at nobswealth.com.If you heard something for yourself, take the step. If you heard it for someone else, send it to them. That's the whole point.Hosted by Stoy Hall, CFP®.If this hit home, drop a comment. Tell me where you're feeling it most.

Send us Fan MailThis week we're sitting down with Bari Tessler, a Financial Therapist and a pioneer in the Financial Therapy field. She has a Masters degree in Somatic Psychology from Naropa University, 1998. She then ran a bookkeeping business for therapists and artists.

She is also the founder of The Art of Money, a financial therapy program and a Mentor Program for therapists, coaches and financial professionals.Bari breaks down why 90% of our money decisions are based on emotions, not logic, and what to actually do about it. She shares her signature Body Check-In tool, why couples fight about money even when everything else is great, and how to start having real money conversations with your partner without it turning into World War III at the kitchen table.Bari's reminder is that the way you were raised to think about money shapes every financial decision you make today.

What is Financial Therapy? Dr Erika Rasure is here to tell us about it. Many sources of financial advice neglect the emotional/psychological components of money troubles. She shares how fear, self-perception, hope, and the lack of or presence of security interact with finding financial solutions, and some tips to face those issues.  Learn more about Erika's work at www.beyondfinance.com, and check out the Financial Therapy Association, www.financialtherapyassociation.org  The highlighted nonprofit this month is Prism United, local charity in Alabama focused on mental health, healthy development, and parental education for LGBTQ+ youth.

"..Consistent with social learning theory, individuals tend to carry beliefs about money and money skills learned in childhood into their adult lives..."This week, I'm reading selected quotes from Money Beliefs and Financial Behaviors by Bradley Klontz, Sonya Britt, and Jennifer Mentzer, published in 2011.Reflection Question:Which money script have you been operating in and how might you develop a new discipline?Reflection on Quote:An experienced campaign volunteer once told me that a capital campaign is like riding a wild, unbroken stallion without a saddle.  I've contemplated those words often as I coach clients.  When faced with an unruly stallion, we can either let the stallion take control or we can develop the discipline to work with him. The same applies to capital campaigns.  We can let the capital campaign spin out of control or we can develop discipline for the crucial elements of the campaign.  So, this month, we are starting a series on developing that discipline.  The first discipline we develop is becoming comfortable with inviting donors by unpacking our own beliefs around money before discussing generosity with them. During a capital campaign, these money scripts can allow the wild stallion to take over.  Those with money avoidance scripts can struggle with even inviting a potential donor to find out more information about the project. Those with money worship scripts tend to engage in magical thinking around one major donor that will complete the campaign without engaging a broader base.  Those with money status scripts can find crossing wealth classes intimidating when building a relationship with a more wealthy donor, and then approach that donor apologetically without confidence in the project.  Those with money vigilance scripts may find capital campaign work too all-consuming and focus on tasks that don't move the campaign forward.  The good news is that, in my experience, once we recognizes our own money scripts, we can develop new disciplines in discussing generosity.Copyright: Klontz, B., Britt, S.

Tax season's over. Kids getting out of school. Tariffs, war, graduations, business cycles, household pressure, all hitting at the same damn time. You're tired. You're stretched thin. And you can't figure out why more money isn't quieting the noise in your head.Dr. Preston Cherry is back in the booth, and we went where most people won't go. Financial wellness and mental wellness are not separate conversations. They're the same one. You can't out-earn the inner work. You can't out-hustle the self-audit you've been ducking. And the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it? That gap is you.We get into the honest self-audit (admit, acknowledge, act), the 35,000 decisions you're making every single day, and why your capacity is the most valuable currency you own. Across every income bracket, 32% of Americans think their finances will worsen in 2026. Highest pessimism Bankrate has clocked since 2018. That's not whining. That's the moment we're living in.Dr. Cherry drops one of the most important reframes in the episode: wealth funds wellbeing. Life and money alignment gives you money assignments. Translation, until you do the work to know what you actually value, no amount of income is going to fix what's broken on the inside. It'll just magnify it. More money doesn't solve the problem, but it does fund the solution if you've already done the audit.If you're a first-gen wealth builder, a business owner running on no sleep, or just someone exhausted from carrying decisions nobody else sees, this one is for you. Drill deep, not wide. Stop splitting your capacity across 14 directions. Start with the person in the mirror.If this hit home, drop a comment. Tell me where you're feeling it most.

Financial therapy isn't about having the right tools—it's about having the courage to face your own money story first. In this conversation, Khara Croswaite speaks candidly about burnout, money avoidance, and the quiet damage that can happen when helpers skip their own inner work. Through her path from mental health therapy to financial therapy, a hard truth emerges: we can't ethically ask clients to go places we refuse to go ourselves. Rick reflects on why vulnerability—not polish or credentials—is what builds trust, why so many therapists struggle with money in silence, and how financial therapy often becomes a second career precisely because it demands depth, humility, and lived experience. #FinancialTherapy #FinancialLifePlanning #MoneyPsychology #BehavioralFinance #HumanFirst #BeyondTheNumbers #InnerWork #MoneyStory #MoneyWounds #EmotionalMoney #EthicalPractice #DoYourOwnWork #SelfLeadership #InternalFamilySystems #IFS #PartsWork #SystemsThinking #FamilySystems #IntegrativePsychology #PersonalDevelopment #SelfAwareness #InnerClarity #EmotionalAwareness #HealingJourney #SelfDiscovery #FutureOfFinance #ProfessionalDevelopment #FinancialProfessionals #TherapistsOfInstagram #SecondCareer #PurposeDrivenWork #DeepListening #ClientCentered #MoneyAndRelationships #RelationshipPatterns #TrustBuilding #TransformationalConversations #BurnoutRecovery #TherapistBurnout #MoneyAvoidance #VulnerabilityInLeadership #AuthenticConversations #RealTalk #DeepConversations #ThoughtLeadership #HumanCentered #LivedExperience #FinancialWellbeing A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

You know that pit in your stomach when you open your bank account late at night? That moment where the numbers load and your heart rate spikes before you even see anything? That is not a math problem. That is a mental and emotional one. And if you have been avoiding your finances, snapping at your partner when the Amazon package shows up, or telling yourself you will deal with it tomorrow, this episode is for you.Stoy sits down with Ashley Quamme, therapist and founder of a practice built on helping people understand the intersection of their mental and emotional world and their financial reality. What comes out of this conversation is raw, honest, and something a lot of financial content will never touch. Money has meaning. It is tied to your identity, your security, your freedom, and your sense of whether or not you are going to be okay. When you ignore that layer, no budget in the world is going to stick.Ashley breaks down a simple three-word framework called Think, Feel, Do. It comes from the therapeutic space and it creates a map of what is actually going on inside you when financial stress hits. Not just what you did, but what you were thinking, what you were feeling, and what that drove you to do. She walks through how to actually use it, why you need to physically write it out, and why doing it while you are emotionally ramped up is one of the biggest mistakes people make.They also get into business ownership anxiety, the noise versus truth conversation around structure and emotional capacity, why men in particular resist this kind of work, and why Stoy believes your mental and physical health are the most important investment you will ever make. Way before stocks. Way before mutual funds.Watch the full episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/qUv3gbe9NSYIf you have been white-knuckling your way through your finances and wondering why nothing is sticking, this is the episode.

As a teenager, Kiki Jacobson silently battled depression, confused by deep hopelessness despite a loving childhood and no clear reason for her pain. Medication didn't help, and without open conversations around mental health, she carried the weight alone—until years later, when discovering she had premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) gave her clarity, language, and self-compassion. That understanding reshaped her life and inspired her to become the therapist she once needed. Today, Kiki specializes in the powerful connection between finances and mental health, helping clients unpack how money represents safety, identity, and self-worth. Through a trauma-informed approach rooted in safety and choice, she guides people from shame and avoidance to empowerment—proving confidence isn't about having it all figured out, but about believing, “I can face this.”

FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS:

Most couples think they're “broken” because they argue about money. The truth? You're probably more normal than you realize—you've just never been taught how to talk about money without going to war.In this 12 Days of Giving episode, I sit back down with financial therapist Ashley Quamme to walk through a real couple we'll call Mark and Mary—late 30s, three kids, decent income, solid marriage… until money comes up. He's the anxious saver, constantly bracing for the layoff that may never come. She's the practical spender who wants to make memories with their kids and not live like everything is on fire. The money isn't the problem. Their stories about money are. ashley-2-2025Ashley takes us into their backstory: Mark's single-mom, count-every-penny upbringing and Mary's “we're fine, we don't talk about money much” childhood. We break down how those early money memories hijack their adult arguments—why he feels panicked when they're not maxing accounts, and why she feels controlled and judged when he questions holiday spending. None of this is “just numbers.” This is nervous systems, fear, and unspoken expectations running the show.Then we get into the actual work: how Ashley helped them stop avoiding each other, set up structured money dates, and build rules of engagement so they're not trying to solve their financial life at 9:30 p.m. half-asleep and pissed off. We talk about what to do when you hit a stalemate, why “we'll talk about it later” usually means “never,” and how they finally landed on a savings target that calmed his anxiety without killing all joy for her.This is not some dramatic, on-the-brink-of-divorce situation. This is a normal couple that refused to settle for “fine” and chose to do the work before things blew up. If you and your partner are mostly good—but money convos feel tense, defensive, or like the same fight on repeat—this episode is your mirror and your playbook.

Here's a fresh way to choose the right “money-and-meaning” help: this conversation maps the entire financial therapy spectrum as a simple two-axis quadrant: financial to psychotherapy and shallow to deep, then shows where options like books, coaching, financial planning, CBT, IFS, and psychoanalysis actually sit, and how to know what you need; with guest Vessy Tasheva, Rick explores why credentials matter less than the therapeutic alliance, how identity and safety (gender, culture, lived experience) shape fit, and why histories like Bulgaria's hyperinflation can drive powerful money scripts today, offering clear, human guidance for finding a professional who supports both your numbers and your nervous system. #FinancialTherapy #MoneyAndMeaning #MoneyMindset #TherapyAndFinance #FinancialWellness #MoneyHealing #MoneyPsychology #MoneyCoaching #FinancialGuidance #TherapeuticAlliance #MoneyScripts #MoneyIdentity #FinanceAndMentalHealth #MoneyAwareness #FindYourFit A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

This one's for anyone walking into Thanksgiving with a pit in their stomach about money. You know the drill: old stories, old roles, and fresh triggers. I brought financial therapist Rachel Duncan back to help us keep it real at the table—and keep our dignity intact.We break down why holidays wake up your oldest money wiring. Families “snap you back” into your teenage self, and your money beliefs? Most of them got stamped on you by age eight. If you've ever felt “14 again” at Mom's house, you're not crazy—your nervous system just time-traveled. Then we torch the shame cycle. Shame says “I am bad.” Guilt says “I did something I don't like—and I can change it.” That shift matters because guilt leads to action. We walk through how to swap shame for guilt and actually move forward. We also hit boundaries—the real kind. A healthy boundary isn't a fight; it's clarity about what you will do. We show you how to feel when a boundary gets crossed, redirect explosive moments without stonewalling, and stop people-pleasing without burning the house down. Finally, Rachel gives a practical ritual you can actually use this week: a daily “pleasure practice” to reconnect you to yourself. Do one small thing that makes you feel human. It'll do more for your money than any spreadsheet ever could. Yes, really. Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lXnvkBWjGasAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

Financial Therapy isn't about how much you make—it's about how much you keep. Most people earn more as they move through life, but the real difference lies in how they manage it. Are you living paycheck to paycheck while making six figures? Or are you the one who lives below your means, invests wisely, and builds lasting security? This podcast is about rewiring your money mindset—tracking spending, cutting unnecessary habits, saving aggressively, and investing with purpose. It's not easy, but over time, these shifts can transform your future. Financial freedom starts with you, and the work you do today creates the life you and your family deserve tomorrow.

“There is not good or bad with money” Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with financial therapist Wendy Wright to unpack the emotional complexities that often underlie our financial behaviors. Wendy believes that money issues aren't just math problems—they're emotional ones too! Rather than focusing on dollars and cents alone, Wendy helps her clients understand why they avoid budgeting, overspend in emotional moments, or feel incapable of managing money. Her mantra? “Abundant, compassionate curiosity and zero judgment.” Wendy discusses common patterns like the belief of being “bad with money,” the influence of childhood messages, and the emotional burden of debt. She advocates for intentionality, self-awareness, and sustainability over perfection, as well as financial journaling and identifying emotional triggers to help people rewrite their “money stories” and build healthier, more resilient habits. “Nothing's going to work for you if it's not sustainable.” Healing your relationship with money begins with something as small as a $10 weekly savings goal. It's totally unhelpful to label yourself as “good” or “bad” with money. Personal finance is a deeply personal journey that benefits from reflection, not just spreadsheets. Whether you're confronting debt, struggling with avoidance, or simply seeking a more peaceful relationship with money, give yourself permission to start exactly where you are—with grace.   Key Topics: Wendy's Financial Therapy Framework (03:20) Avoidance and Emotional Burdens (08:39) The “Bad with Money” Myth (10:45) Algorithmic Influences on Money Shame (13:22) Debt, Shame, and Sustainability (15:10) Money as a Tool, Not a Goal (31:28) Where to Begin: Curiosity, Not Judgment (34:14) Resources: WendyWrightFinancialTherapy.com     If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

In this episode of the Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with John Hankins, a financial therapist with a rich background in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. We delved into the critical topic of financial therapy and how it can help nonprofit leaders overcome financial anxiety. John shared his journey, starting from his early days as a CFO in a small nonprofit to his transition into financial therapy after witnessing the anxiety many nonprofit leaders face when managing funds they've never encountered before. He emphasized the importance of understanding our personal money stories and how they shape our relationship with money. We discussed the contrast between healthy and unhealthy relationships with money, highlighting how misalignment between our financial goals, feelings, and actions can lead to anxiety. John pointed out that societal pressures and the stigma around discussing money contribute to this anxiety, especially in the nonprofit sector, where leaders often feel guilty about raising funds. John introduced the concept of financial therapy as an essential overlay to traditional therapy, aimed at building a positive relationship with money. He also mentioned the Financial Therapy Association, which bridges the gap between financial planning and emotional well-being. Throughout our conversation, we explored the behaviors that can hinder nonprofit leaders, such as reluctance to engage with financial details and feelings of shame around money. John encouraged listeners to recognize that it's okay to talk about money and to seek help in navigating their financial relationships. As we wrapped up, John offered a valuable reminder: everyone has a relationship with money, regardless of their financial situation, and exploring that relationship can lead to significant improvements in both personal and professional life. I hope this episode inspires nonprofit leaders to address their financial anxieties and consider the benefits of financial therapy.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ashley Quamme, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Beyond the Plan. Ashley is someone I've admired for a long time, and this conversation is packed with powerful insights into the intersection of psychology, relationships, and personal finance. Ashley shares her unique journey—from launching a private therapy practice focused on couples, to navigating military life as a spouse, to eventually blending her clinical background with the world of financial planning. We explored what financial therapy really means and how deeply emotional and relational our financial decisions truly are. Ashley's passion for helping people understand the “why” behind their money behaviors is infectious, and her ability to make that practical for both advisors and clients alike is a real gift. We also talked about how Ashley collaborates with financial advisors as a Chief Financial Behavior Officer and what it means to create emotionally safe planning spaces. I loved her thoughts on how validation, curiosity, and even open-ended questions can transform client meetings. Whether you're a financial professional or someone navigating your own money story, Ashley's insights are so relevant. Ashley's wisdom and vulnerability in this episode are incredibly encouraging. She also reminds us that you don't need to be a therapist to be therapeutic. If you care deeply about the people you serve, there are ways to show up with empathy, insight, and skill—even when money is emotional. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-quamme/ https://www.beyondthefp.com/  https://www.planningandbeyond.com/
