Financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin joins Kristie and Felicia to unpack the psychological roots of our bank accounts. They center the conversation on the emotional landscape of money: how one’s childhood and systemic failures, not personal incompetence, shape financial anxiety.

Some takeaways:

• Why "logic" fails when it crashes with childhood narratives and fears.

• The difference between functional planning and toxic guilt.

• How to stop restricting pleasure and start integrating joy into your financial plan.

• How socioeconomic factors influence your wallet more than "bad habits" do.
