Financial therapist Lindsay is back! Today, we’re talking with Lindsay about her focus on working with couples with breadwinning women.
In her experience, Lindsay has found that couples with non-traditional money roles can often have emotional and financial challenges. We knew we needed to dive in and find out more.
This episode features guest Lindsay Bryan-Podvin of Mind Money Balance, one of only 50 financial therapists in the United States. Don’t miss her first episode with us: 050: What is Financial Therapy?!
In this episode, we talk about:
- When Lindsay first heard women come into her office and say “I wish I didn’t have this pressure” or “I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I wish my husband made more than me.”
- Some of the challenges Lindsay sees in these types of relationships
- The common discounting and downplaying behavior that breadwinning women have
- See-saw earners—couples who contribute somewhat equally financially
- Why Lindsay recommends couples pool their money into one bank account
- Identifying the non-monetary assets you bring to the relationship
