Why Am I Anxious About Money? Healing Your Financial Psychology

Financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin joins Kristie and Felicia to unpack the psychological roots of our bank accounts. They center the conversation on the emotional landscape of money: how one’s childhood and systemic failures, not personal incompetence, shape financial anxiety. Some takeaways: • Why "logic" fails when it crashes with childhood narratives and fears. • The difference between functional planning and toxic guilt. • How to stop restricting pleasure and start integrating joy into your financial plan. • How socioeconomic factors influence your wallet more than "bad habits" do.
