157: Understanding Money Personality Types: The Spenders [2 of 4] Jun 17, 2024

There are four Money Archetypes that shape what we believe about money and how it impacts what we do–or don’t do–with our money. The second money personality type is the Free Spirit. Known for their radical optimism and general "why not?!" attitude toward life, they tend to be excited to spend. The shadow side of their excitement is they sometimes spend and focus on outward appearances as a reflection of their self-worth and worry about what others think about them if they don’t overspend. Think your spending makes you a Free Spirit? Listen to find out!

153: Money and Mental Health: Support Yourself, Your Team, and Loved Ones May 20, 2024

It’s no secret that mental health is a fundamental part of overall wellbeing. 1 in 5 American adults experience a diagnosable mental health condition annually, and 1 in 4 will experience a mental illness at some time in their life. I’m a believer that we don’t need to have a diagnosable mental illness to tend to our mental health. Especially because our mental health impacts how we think, feel, and behave financially. In this video, I’ll share more about how money and mental health intersect, including how it impacts those without a diagnosis and how we can tend to our financial and mental health. Whether you're experiencing mental illness, an employer hoping to better support your team, or an ally helping a loved one, I've got practical tips to help you at the intersection of money and mental health.
