このコンテンツについて
In this special Mental Health Awareness Month episode of the Money & You podcast, host
Michelle Perkins welcomes back Wendy Wright, a leading financial therapist and CEO of
Financial Therapy Solutions. With her rare combination of expertise in both licensed therapy
and money coaching, Wendy helps individuals and couples navigate the emotional roots of their
financial stress and create empowered, healthy money relationships.
Together, they explore how emotions—especially anxiety and shame—play a powerful role in
how we interact with money. Wendy shares practical tips for approaching financial
conversations with more emotional intelligence and less fear, whether with your partner or with
yourself. She also discusses how to identify your emotional state before trying to “fix” money
problems, and why you can’t make solid financial decisions while dysregulated.
This episode blends psychology with personal finance, offering tools for self-awareness,
calming strategies, and more intentional money conversations. If you would like to see/hear
Wendy’s previous interview, see episode 112.

Key Takeaways:
● Financial Therapy = Money + Emotions: Financial struggles are often emotional, not
just logical. Healing begins with emotional literacy.
● You Can’t Budget in a Panic: If you're dysregulated, don’t try to make money
decisions. Calm first, then act.
● Journal or Talk It Out: Whether through writing or speaking aloud, processing your
feelings about money helps untangle fear and create clarity.
● Shame Stops Progress: Decrease judgment and increase curiosity. You can be
financially healthy without knowing everything about money.
● Conversations Need Structure: Use a timer and clear goals when discussing money
with partners. Small, repeatable talks work better than big confrontations.
● Curate Your Media Intake: Negative news amplifies money fear. Be intentional about
what and how much you consume.
