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.

Before You Panic: 5 Smart Steps When Money Falls Short
Financial pressure can arrive suddenly—an unexpected bill, a loss of income, or expenses that simply outpace your resources. In those moments, panic is common… but it’s rarely helpful.
In this episode of The Caring Advisor, Elizabeth Brickman shares five practical, faith-centered steps you can take when money falls short. Drawing from her experience in finance and her own personal seasons of financial adversity, Elizabeth offers clear actions that help restore stability, perspective, and peace.
You’ll learn how to uncover hidden spending, free up financial space, generate quick cash when needed, and adopt a spiritual posture that invites God’s wisdom into your financial life.
Financial hardship does not mean failure—and it certainly does not mean God has abandoned you.
Instead of panic, choose stewardship. Choose wisdom. Choose faith.
In this episode you’ll learn:
• Why financial shortage is not the same as financial failure
• How to quickly assess your real spending habits
• Hidden ways to free up money inside your own home
• Practical ways to generate immediate cash flow
• The spiritual posture that restores peace during financial stress
