    Not All Money Is Good Money: The Hidden Cost of Toxic Professional Relationships

    Sometimes the money we earn comes at the expense of our peace, our boundaries, and our future. In this solo episode of Finance, Fitness & Finesse, host Jaelyn Vickery shares one of the personal experiences that shaped her perspective as a financial therapist and why she believes not all money is good money. What began as an exciting mentorship and career opportunity during graduate school gradually evolved into a professional relationship that challenged healthy boundaries and created difficult financial decisions. Through this story, Jae explores how financial stress, student debt, scarcity mindset, and workplace power dynamics can influence the choices we make and why financial wellness is about much more than income. If you've ever stayed in a job because you felt financially trapped, struggled to say no to someone who controlled your livelihood, or wondered why money decisions can feel so emotional, this episode offers a perspective that goes beyond traditional personal finance advice. Learn In This Episode Why financial pressure can make unhealthy workplace dynamics difficult to leave How money, fear, and scarcity influence personal and professional boundaries Why financial therapy focuses on the emotional side of money, not just the numbers How to recognize when earning more is costing you something far more valuable SHARE YOUR MONEY STORY Have a real-life money question, experience, or moment that shaped how you think about money?
