As a Financial Therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals achieve financial well-being, and I believe that workplace financial wellness programs can play a pivotal role in unlocking employee success. One prominent financial institution that stands out in this regard is Morgan Stanley, a company known for its commitment to not only its own employees well-being and holistic financial health, but also concerned with employees all over the United States.

In today's fast-paced and competitive work environment, employees face various financial challenges that can impact their productivity, engagement, and overall well-being. Financial stress, lack of financial literacy, and inadequate retirement savings are just a few examples of the financial concerns that can weigh on employees and affect their performance at work. 

Employees may believe they need a raise, but what they really need is tools to master the money they currently have. When they understand that money is not th...

Because money is the number one cause of stress, as a Financial Therapist, I understand the crucial role financial success and well-being together play in an individual's overall feeling of success. But also a company's success if it relies on the power of employees.  

When the work environment is fast-paced and responsibilities are heavy both at work and at home, employees need access to resources and support. Employees often face financial stress that can impact their productivity, engagement, and even their health. That's where workplace financial wellness programs come in. These programs offer a valuable solution for businesses to support their employees' financial well-being and drive organizational success. 

Companies like Morgan Stanley and Ameriprise Financial are making a positive impact with their workplace financial wellness programs. Major financial institutions are entering the market because it’s no longer a mystery what these programs do. Companies now know they ...

Financial literacy month is a time for us to discuss all things finance. One topic that is often left out, but that's gaining traction in the world of personal finance is Financial Therapy. 

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Therapy? What does that have to do with finances?" Well, bear with me dear Financial Professional, because financial therapy is a fascinating field that can greatly benefit your clients and enhance your financial advisory practice.

First, let's get on the same page about what Financial Therapy actually is. This may be a new topic for you, but it’s not a new topic. The term Financial Therapy has been used for over 15 years now. The Financial Therapy Association was founded in 2008. And it’s even being taught in places like Kansas State University and University of Georgia. 

At its core, Financial Therapy is an interdisciplinary approach that combines financial knowledge with psychological and emotional well-being. It's about understanding that money is not just ...

I don’t like calling April, “Financial  Literacy Month.” I prefer Financial Awareness month. 

ARE YOU FINANCIALLY LITERATE? Of course you are. I haven’t looked up the term Financial Literacy lately, but my idea of literacy is related to the ability to read, or not. So when LITERACY  is coupled with the word FINANCIAL, it seems like we are suggesting that you aren’t able to handle money.

Which isn’t true. 

Maybe you’ve made a money move that didn’t turn out the way you hoped it would, but you have some good ideas on how to get to your next level of financial success. You have the simple stuff like, earning income, calculating your expenses, spending less than you bring in, and you might even get advanced and execute on your own financial planning. When you’re building a business this sometimes gets put off. 

A lot of times you are making money decisions blindly, without awareness. That’s why I prefer the term “Financial Awareness Month.” You and your clients are financially liter...

What if I told you that emotional health and financial health are not only important but are highly intertwined? Yes, our emotions and finances are each highly affected by each other— especially as business owners. 

Emotional Spending

Emotional spending is a phenomenon that can affect anyone. People from all backgrounds can experience the impact of emotional spending; however, the stressors that may cause emotional spending and financial distress are magnified with business owners who are striving to show up authentically and pour the best of themselves into their craft. 

What is emotional spending? It is when one spends money on extra expenses as a response to intense emotions. These emotions can range from glee to depression to anxiety and even grief. There is no one way in which it manifests itself. Here are three examples of emotional spending:

It’s time for you to pay more attention to your money. I don’t mean looking at your bank account. I mean looking at how your bank account makes you feel. I'm talking about Financial Therapy.

Yup! Go deeper than the cover up you've been doing to feel fine. Be honest with yourself, you’re not there yet and it hurts. It sucks to feel stuck. I've been there.

Well the good news is, at least you know you’re stuck. There are business owners out there that don’t have awareness when it comes to their emotions around money. They'd never consider Financial Therapy as an option. May not even know it exists. That’s why I'm beyond excited to announce that it's Financial Awareness Month! 

Woohoo!

We’re allowed to talk about money, even if it hurts, for 30-days straight. As someone who loves what they do, I get to have even more fun this month as we celebrate financial wellness and education. And to help you get to your next level of financial success, I'll be posting every day (except...

You've been working so hard trying to figure it out on your own. You don't have to do it by yourself. Especially since I've done it and I can show you how to get on your Path to Prosperity.

In the Prosperity Pro Group for Healers you will have me, my team, and a community of other healers taking a transformational journey with you. You'll have a support system and a step-by-step guide.  

• Are you tired of feeling like you haven't reached the financial success you've been dreaming of?
• Are you tired of feeling guilt or other negative emotions because you really do want more out of your personal and professional life?

Sure, you could be happy with what you have now and actually in the group our show you exactly how to do that. Believe it or not that's the key to getting more. And it's ok to want more. Admit it, you want more, you need more, you deserve more and it's time for you to get comfortable having more. 

The transformation you will experience in the Prosperity Pro Group wil...

Did you know I moved out of the country? I’m posting pictures on TikTok and Instagram if you want to see them. Want to know what else is going on with me and the team.

I’ll update you. 

I’d also love to hear what’s going on with you if you’d like to share. You can reply to this email and catch me up. And at the bottom of this email, I’ll also tell you how we can stay connected if that interests you. 

The 2022 cohort of the group ended this month. We are ramping up for the FREE masterclass, a 6-week boot camp, and the new 2023 Prosperity Pro cohort. It’s going to be so freaking amazing. We are working on helping healers get more comfortable asking for money, receiving money, and ultimately having money.  

But wait…this isn’t about our future, this email is an update on what’s already happened. 

We are in Europe now, but let me tell you how we got here.

 By sharing his entrepreneurial journey, Brian Scudamore helped shape mine. Building a multimillion dollar business breaks down into navigating some ups and downs, a series of good decisions, a clear set of values and a strong network. Before speaking with Brian, I wasn't willing to fail. I was told failure was not an option. Shifting that perspective can help you take risks and make moves that change you and your business. When you know that failure is part of the journey to creating success, you can better accept it. Learn what it takes to be willing to fail, listen now.
