​​The Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Bri Conn and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, is a financial and lifestyle podcast that explores the unique perspectives and concerns of childfree individuals and couples. In this episode, Dr. Jay talks with Lindsay Bryan-Podvin of Mind Money Balance.

She is a financial therapist in Michigan, author of The Financial Anxiety Solution, & creator of the brand, Mind Money Balance. She explores the emotional side of money, tackling anxiety, guilt, and the pursuit of happiness through increased income. Lindsey offers practical strategies for navigating financial survivor guilt without resorting to transactional solutions, especially for childfree individuals challenging societal norms. Toward the end, Dr. Jay asks the question so many childfree people get, “What if you regret it?”
