Do I Need Financial Therapy - Episode 58

In today's episode, I'm super excited to share my conversation with Aja Evans, a financial therapist who's going to help us understand something really important: financial therapy. Most of us need help with our money, and it's not just about learning tips and tricks. It's about changing how we think and feel about money. Aja tells us about her journey from working in mental health to discovering financial therapy. She shares her own financial ups and downs and how she learned to manage her money better. We talked about why it's hard to make good money choices and how therapy can help us get better at it. Aja also gives advice on finding a financial therapist and why it's important for our mental health.
