Lindsay Bryan-Podvin on Financial Anxiety
If you’ve ever worried about money, this week’s episode of Woman Worriers is for you. Host Elizabeth Cush welcomes financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin for a healing conversation about financial anxiety.
“We have to stop shaming women for having money and for being proud of having money.”
Show Notes:
Money, the song goes, makes the world go ‘round. So why do so many women struggle with it—talking about it, asking for it, being honest about spending it? Money is woven into so much of our lives and yet how often do we talk to our therapists about our money worries? Instead, we listen to the money stories we’ve learned and the mixed messages we get about women and money. This week, Woman Worriers podcast host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks with Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, LMSW, a Michigan-based financial therapist, speaker and author, about the emotional and psychologist side of money. Listen to their insights about personal finance and mental health and how they intersect with race, gender—every aspect of our lives, and how women as individuals and as partners can learn to relate to money in a healthy and effective way.
