Nicole talks about the good, the bad, and the ugly of mom-fluencers with Jo Piazza, author and host of the amazing podcast that covers this industry, Under the Influence.

Are Your Money Problems Psychological? May 31, 2022

Show notes

Money intersects with every area of our lives: our self esteem, romantic relationships, mental health, family ties— everything has a money trail. And because of that, money can get intertwined with our psyche in interesting, and sometimes challenging, ways.

Nicole wanted to dig deep into this, so she called up Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, a financial therapist who combines financial literacy with the emotional and psychological side of money.
