This week's guest, financial therapist and social worker, Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, blows my mind a little when she reveals the average cost of raising a child in the US is now up to $300k. Goodness!

Lindsay encourages us, we GOTTA talk about money. By discussing finances with our partners, we help to shake off the shame that often comes along with it and can help decrease the interpersonal conflicts that historically arise as a result of money matters. We discuss how to broach the topic with our little ones to help them feel safe and secure, all the while hopefully avoiding passing along the shame that can surround money.

Lindsay literally wrote the book on how money impacts our mental health - The Financial Anxiety Solution - which includes workbook activities that can help set us on the road to achieving our financial goals. Money conversations can make us all feel vulnerable, and we discuss ways couples can be proactive rather than reactive in broaching this topic to work toward achieving our financial goals.
