Understanding and Healing Your Financial Anxiety

Why You've Got to Listen to This Episode...

Have you ever had something come up with your money that made you feel scared or anxious? A time when you felt overwhelmed or didn’t know what to do?

Of course you have. We all have.

Having a healthy money mindset doesn’t guarantee that financial anxiety won’t ever creep in. In fact, financial anxiety is a normal, and very common, emotion that we all experience, no matter where we are on our financial journey.

But learning how to handle that anxiety and reduce the consistent, unnecessary fear is crucial to creating a healthy relationship with money. And to overcoming the negative beliefs about our abilities and what we’re able to achieve when it comes to our money.

Today’s guest, Lindsay Bryan-Podvin is the founder of Mind Money Balance and author of the brand new book, The Financial Anxiety Solution. She is a financial therapist and her work in the area of financial anxiety combines financial literacy with the emotional and psychological side of money.

What I love about this episode with Lindsay is how she removes the stigma about anxiety and money’s relationship with mental health. We all have fears and shame around money. Lindsay lets us know that we aren’t alone and that we do have what it takes to handle our money confidently.

In today’s episode, Lindsay is going to take us on a journey into how she came to focus on financial anxiety and why deprivation-based personal finance advice isn’t for everyone. She’ll explain how you can identify your own sources of anxiety surrounding money and steps you can take to create healthier money stories. If money has been a source of anxiety in your life or the lives of your loved ones, this episode is for you.
