In this episode, we’re joined by Aja Evans, financial therapist and licensed mental health counselor, to talk all things feelings and finances. We get into what financial therapy actually is, why our money habits are deeply emotional, and how unprocessed shame and avoidance are holding so many of us (especially those of us in helping professions) back from financial clarity and peace. Aja gives us so much permission to pause, reflect, and rewrite our money story without shame.

Takeaways From This Episode:

• Why financial therapy is more than just numbers... It’s about emotions, patterns, and past experiences
• The emotional toll of money avoidance (and how to gently start facing it)
• Why so many of us feel left out of the financial conversation and how to reclaim our place in it
• A peek inside what financial therapy can actually look like
• The power of financial confidence and how it can change your entire life
• A reminder: your financial journey takes time. You are not behind.
