Key Takeaways

The Importance of Financial Literacy

Financial literacy is essential for making informed decisions, yet many people struggle with it. We explored practical ways to boost financial understanding and the role it plays in long-term financial health.

Understanding Money Scripts

I introduced the concept of money scripts—subconscious beliefs that influence financial behaviors—and how these can be categorized into four core types. Recognizing your money script is often the first step toward healthier financial habits.

Starting the Financial Therapy Journey

For those considering financial therapy, I shared how I approach new clients by assessing their financial background, identifying goals, and guiding them toward positive financial behaviors.

Virtual Financial Therapy

In today’s digital age, virtual sessions have become a key part of my practice. I discussed the benefits and effectiveness of working with clients remotely.
