Hello + Welcome to all the new folks arriving from Hello + Welcome to all the new folks arriving from the new ads that my husband made for me 🧡 I want to share some beginning financial therapy teachings with you so you can get a sense of how I teach. I'm a somatic trained (Masters in Somatic Psychology) Financial Therapist. I've been teaching my financial therapy method since 2001. I teach my work online with a couple of group programs. I have authored two books titled, The Art of Money and The Art of Money Workbook. I offer a one time deep dive private financial therapy session for individuals and couples. And I offer a lot of free content as well via my blog and podcast. Please enjoy this eleven minute "11 Things Your Financial Therapist Wants You To Know" If you have questions about my work, please send a note to my website contact page and Ali who runs my community will happily get back to you. #financialtherapy #financialtherapist #somatictherapy #somatictherapist #traumainformed

It's Friday! I woke up way too early but made it t It's Friday! I woke up way too early but made it to @dry_storage at 8:00am right as they were opening. I got my favorite mocha and then declared it a bread day. I got some of their seeded sourdough that I've been enjoying with good butter, flaky salt and raw garlic. As soon as the weather starts to change I go to the raw garlic. I also picked up some of their "white sonora" flour which I normally use when I make my fruit or savory galettes. Last time I tried these individual galettes I was out of this flour and used regular flour. Even though it was organic it didn't come close to our local shop that mills their flour. I have found for baking, tasting and digestion, this is the best. We had strawberry and blueberries starting to go bad so I needed to bake more galettes for my family. And, yes today is a big rest, bake, eat and enjoy day! #galettes #bakingistherapeutic #homebaker #bakingistherapy
My team is updating all of the handouts for my Art My team is updating all of the handouts for my Art of Money year-long program right now. The design is a combination of my program page and the botanical designs from my workbook. This handout explores the core money emotions that come up in our day-to-day life. There are many more helpful handouts like this in the program. Did you know my Art of Money program is on an evergreen model?! Yes, sometimes I launch but I prefer the evergreen which means you can start the program today. Your access and 12 months starts the day you sign up and module 1 arrives immediately. Additionally the community support starts too and you can jump right in. The AOM program is a large group program with a clear structured framework. It guides you through 12 modules of teaching content based on my 3-phase methodology. Four modules of Money Healing. Four modules of Money Practices. Four modules of Money Maps. The journey is considered more of a self-paced guided journey. Additionally there is some great community support like a weekly co-working group with my alum guides and a monthly office hours call with me. The goal of this program is too slowly learn the AOM framework so you can create a healthy foundation for your financial life with savvy somatic and practical money tools that you can practice for years to come. I've had well over 5,000 students go through this program. I would love to welcome you. You can review all the module themes and details of the program via my link. p.s. this is my most affordable financial therapy program I offer and there is an accessible 5 month payment plan too 🦋 #financialtherapy #financialtherapist #somatictherapy #emotionalliteracy #emotionalintelligence #financialliteracy #moneyemotions #moneyemotion
There is nothing like childhood friends. My heart There is nothing like childhood friends. My heart is so full. We haven't seen each other in way too many years. She's in town for the weekend so we met up for coffee and didn't stop talking for 3 hours straight. We would have continued but Rachel @lehrfeldsilvers and her husband had dinner plans. We talked family, health, our sons, childhood funny moments, challenging moments, even some people we may or may not have slept with (who we couldn't remember names of). We talked about our parents who we knew so well and just shared so many tender and beautiful memories. We're in our 50's now and so grateful to be alive and enjoying life. I wish we hadn't left so much time in between our last hug but so grateful to be reconnected. Seriously reach out to your childhood friends, they are truly the best 🧡 #childhoodfriends #oldgirlfriend #girlfriends #50's #nofilter
How our teenager money hacked the family budget. How our teenager money hacked the family budget. I’m not sure if I’ve ever used the word “hack” before. It’s always kind of turned me off. But lately this is the word that’s been coming to me so I’m rolling with it. So, what’s my latest money hack? We’re shopping at Trader Joes instead of Whole Foods and we are spending A LOT less on groceries. That’s it! It’s that simple. And, I’m proud to say that the idea came from our teenager. In the past I might have referred to this money hack as “cleaning up money leaks.” But I always applied the idea of money leaks to smaller expenses that we are no longer using or expenses we can press “pause” on for a while to save some money. It could be a gym membership you’re not using. Or TV streaming subscriptions that your family isn’t really watching. Or even making coffee at home instead of getting a daily mocha. There’s nothing wrong with any of these spending choices, but little expenses can add up quickly. So, it’s a good idea to have a weekly and monthly money date and check in to see where you can save more or where you might want to use it in other ways. But this money hack feels bigger than cleaning up those little money leaks. Maybe because it came from my teenager. In our family, it’s important that we are very open about finances. We’ve been including him in money conversations and decisions for years now. Of course we don’t share everything – meaning all the details of the ups and downs with him – but we do share a lot about business ebbs and flows. Lately, he’s had more to say about money, especially the cost of food and groceries. We started shopping at Trader Joe’s because our teenager encouraged us to start saving money on groceries – and also because there are some great snacks there. While he’s aware of food costs, he still wavers between wanting the lobster roll and specialty drinks and wanting to be really mindful of day-to-day grocery spending. We all have different ways we like to spend money and different ways we like to be more frugal, and it delights this mama’s heart to see him honoring that for himself.
