Overcoming Financial Trauma

We're back with another action packed episode.

In this episode I talk with Martha Menard, Ph.D.

Martha Brown Menard, PhD, has experienced financial trauma, and brings that perspective to her work as a behavioral research scientist and director of financial coaching for Questis. After a previous career in integrative health, where she also worked with trauma survivors, she is now pursuing her passion for helping others become financially healthy. She is a member of the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education and the Financial Therapy Association, and a first-generation college student.
She is open to connecting on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/marthamenard/
We discuss different topics around financial psychology including:

• Money expectations
• Money Shame
• Me being "the rich uncle"
• What does "enough" look like for you?
• Retirement
• and more.

We also issue several shoutouts to Questis, The Financial Therapy Association, The AFCPE, Dr. Brad Klontz, and Saundra Davis.

This is my first solo episode since the intro and I thought this an interesting topic to approach with motivations coming from a Tik Tok video, the book turned series "American Gods", and my own life experiences. In this episode I break down the concepts of:

• Worshiping money
• Coveting spirits/Jealous
• The role of "luck" in my success
• and pursuing purpose attached to money

In my very first episode I had the opportunity to interview Aja Evans!

Aja Evans is a board certified therapist, speaker and writer specializing in financial therapy. The truth is, money impacts every facet of our lives and has the power to shift how we feel both physically and emotionally. With an acute understanding of this reality, Aja’s expertise sits at the intersection of mental health and all things money. Her work has been seen in several media outlets including Bloomberg, NerdWallet, and Business Insider. In addition to media coverage, Aja has a quarterly column with Square. She is a woman on a mission to get people engaged in living their best lives while attuning to their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around money.
