    WHAT IS FINANCIAL THERAPY? | How Your Relationship with Money Impacts Your Life

    What is financial therapy, and why is it becoming one of the fastest-growing fields in financial wellness AND mental wellness? In this episode of Finance, Fitness & Finesse, Certified Financial Therapist Jaelyn "JaeVic" Vickery breaks down what financial therapy is, how it differs from financial planning and financial coaching, and why understanding your relationship with money may be the missing piece in your financial journey.

Financial therapy helps individuals explore the connection between money and mental health to build healthier financial habits and greater financial well-being. Whether you struggle with overspending, financial anxiety, money avoidance, financial conflict in relationships, or simply want a healthier relationship with money, this episode provides a practical introduction to the field of financial therapy.

    Money, Mental Health & Relationships: What We Don’t Talk About Enough

    In this episode of F3, JaeVic sits down with Dr. Shay Harris-Pierre, LPC, CFT — a licensed counselor, financial therapist, and host of Shades of Wealth. They talk about how money and mental health connect, and how our emotions, relationships, and upbringing shape the way we handle finances. Dr. Shay breaks down what it’s like to move into a different income level — the pressure, guilt, and family dynamics that can come with that — and how she helps clients manage those shifts in healthy ways. She also shares how money and food can both reflect feelings of comfort, control, or scarcity, and what that says about our emotional wellbeing. Together, they explore how to talk about money without damaging relationships, and what it really means to build wealth that feels aligned with who you are. Dr. Shay leaves listeners with this reminder: your relationship with money often mirrors your relationship with yourself — and both deserve care.   Get in touch with Dr. Shay-Harris-Pierre, LPC, CFT Website: Harris-Pierre Consulting LinkedIn Connect with JaeVic, F3, Dimensional Wealth, & More: 🔗 Visit JaeVic.com for perks, products, and exclusives.
