What is Financial Therapy & Why You Might Need it w/ Khara Croswaite

Talking about money is often uncomfortable. Especially for men expected to be providers and financial decision-makers. On a recent episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay speaks with financial therapist Khara Croswaite Brindle. They talk about the deep connection between financial stress and mental health. Brindle is a financial therapist who specializes in helping individuals with their money mindset. She is an expert in financial coaching. She works with clients to address financial trauma and improve their relationship with money. Her goal is to help people gain a healthier outlook on their finances. Brindle’s expertise focuses on guiding clients through their financial challenges. “I will talk about anything people don’t want to talk about,” Brindle says. She notes that money is one of the most taboo topics, often ranking even higher than discussions about relationships or mental health. This avoidance can lead to financial stress, causing anxiety, shame, and even depression. “The running joke is that we’d rather talk about our sex lives than our money lives,” she adds. Kara highlights the societal reluctance to engage in honest financial discussions. So, how can men break free from the cycle of financial avoidance and develop a healthier relationship with money? Brindle offers valuable insights into financial literacy and business coaching. She also helps clients develop strategies to overcome financial trauma.
