Financial anxiety. At some point in our lives, we’ve all faced it. And with the uncertainty of the pandemic happening around the world, many of us are probably living with it currently.
This is where someone like Lindsay Bryan-Podvin can be helpful. Lindsay is a financial therapist.
As we discussed the role of purpose in our money relationship, Lindsay points out that in order to achieve our purpose we need to have money – and that money is necessary for most things in our lives. Money belongs in a neutral space.
Key takeaways
- Our money story starts when we are first introduced to money.
- Solving for the symptom is not enough to shed the anxiety associated with money
- Having regular conversations about money will make having conversations easier. And it will help us avoid “door knob” moments – those bombshells ideas or topics that are shared as you are wrapping up the conversation and walking out the door
- Practice financial self-care by making sure you have enough money to support yourself while also making financial decisions that align with your values and support your local community
- Our relationship with money gets more complicated by emotion, mindset, and psychology
