The Caring Advisor
Welcome to "The Caring Advisor", I'm so glad you're here! I'm Elizabeth Brickman, "The Caring Advisor"! This podcast is for those who long to experience financial happiness God's way. I'm a former finance professional, credentialed in biblical finance. Ten years ago, I left private practice to write books, because I want all of us, not just those who sat at my desk, to develop an increasingly wonderful and holy relationship with money. We will talk about how to resist financial headwinds that come against us, how to make wise decisions, and how to avoid accidental poverty. I'll share stories about my financial faith heroes, clients who humbled me, inspired me, and taught me. These are everyday men and women just like you who got it right. And they serve as models for all of us about who we can be and how we can financially grow in Christ.

103. "Worry Makes Nothing Better: How to Break Free from Worry Stalking You"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you feel stalked by worry—especially financial worry? Here’s the truth: worry makes nothing better.
In this solo episode, Elizabeth Brickman explains why worry isn’t a personality quirk or a sign of responsibility, but a learned way of relating to God, money, and uncertainty. Drawing from decades as a financial advisor, personal financial hardship, and Scripture, she reveals why worry sometimes persists even when money improves.
Jesus asked, Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? The answer is no one.
This episode goes beyond telling you not to worry. You’ll learn how to interrupt worry’s automatic cycle, retrain your self-talk, and replace fear-based thoughts with God-centered truth—supported by wise, practical financial habits that reinforce trust.
If you’re tired of living under the weight of “what if,” this episode will show you how to break the cycle for good.
