Description

When it comes to money, most of us know the basics. We’ve read the advice: build an emergency fund, stick to a budget, invest for the future. But what if we’re still struggling to feel confident or in control? What if our emotions — fear, guilt, shame — are silently running the show?


That’s where financial therapy comes in. This week, Jean sits down with Erika Wasserman, certified financial therapist and author of Conversations With Your Financial Therapist,” to pull back the curtain on why our money beliefs run so deep, and how we can start to change them.


💡 In This Episode, You'll Learn:



  • What a financial therapist does and how to know if you need one

  • Why religion and culture can impact how you feel about wealth, success, and spending

  • The MONEY Method: Erika’s 5-step tool for better financial conversations

  • Scripts to help you talk to your partner, parents, or adult kids about money
