How often do you think about money and for bonus points, what are those thoughts? The truth is, we all have financial anxiety. But if you are spinning in anxious money thoughts and unsure how to get out of that loop, this episode is for you. As Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, a biracial financial therapist and wellness expert and author of the book “The Financial Anxiety Solution” says, “Anxiety is a normal and healthy stress response that all humans have - if their nervous system is working appropriately and it might come along with some physical symptoms - sweaty palms, heart racing, etc..” The goal isn’t to never feel anxiety around money because that just isn’t possible. The goal is to have a normal and healthy anxiety response - and one that you can move through. So, how do you get there? In this episode, Lindsay shares the role your childhood, particularly 0-age 8, might play in those anxious thoughts, how money anxiety impacts your daily life, some great exercises to move through those anxious thoughts, and how understanding your money personality will help you play to your money strengths.
