225 | What's Really Underneath Your Money Patterns — A Conversation With Two Therapists

You've told yourself a version of your money story where your credit card balance, your bank statements, and your savings account balance or lack thereof is your fault.  The story says if you were more disciplined. If that one thing hadn't happened. If you just knew more about money you’d be further along.   You've tried the budget, the app, the fresh start on the first of the month  and something still isn't moving the way you want it to.The problem was never your discipline. It was never the math either.In this episode, I'm sitting down with Heidi Vanderwerf and Marjorie Strachman Miller  therapists and co-founders of Kennedy Counseling Collective right here in D.C. to talk about what's actually underneath your money patterns.
