For Prudence Zhu, achieving financial independence was supposed to bring peace and fulfillment. Instead, it led her on a journey of self-discovery and, ultimately, financial therapy.

In this episode, we explore why financial well-being is about more than just numbers, how our past shapes our relationship with money, and why emotional healing is just as important as financial literacy.

Managing money can become harder with age, but that doesn't mean independence has to end.

In this post, Maggie Knowles explains what a daily money manager does and how this often-overlooked service can help older adults stay organized, keep up with bills, spot potential financial red flags, and remain in their homes longer.

Maggie also shares what families should look for when choosing someone to help with the more personal side of managing money.

Sometimes, healing doesn’t require the right words. It requires someone willing to simply be there.

In our latest conversation with Rose Zealand, financial planner and death doula, we explore the profound power of witnessing—creating a space where someone can feel, express, grieve, or simply be exactly as they are, without judgment or an agenda.

When we’re truly witnessed with unconditional positive regard, we can begin to release the burden of self-judgment and feel less alone in experiences that can be incredibly difficult to carry.

But witnessing isn’t passive. It requires self-awareness, the willingness to set aside our own biases and reactions, and the courage to process those responses later.

Whether you work with people facing grief, illness, major life transitions, or financial stress, the ability to be fully present may be one of the most powerful forms of support we can offer.

What if we talked about dying with the same openness, care, and preparation we bring to birth?

In this powerful conversation, Rose Zealand explores the “labor of dying” and the intersection of end-of-life care, financial planning, and the emotional realities of facing death, especially when it comes earlier than expected.

Her work reminds us that money is never just about money. At the end of life, financial decisions can carry deep emotional, relational, and existential weight.

What happens when financial planning and mental health come together? 💰❤️

In a new blog post, I’m sharing my conversation with Dr. Megan Ford about the Love and Money Center at the University of Georgia and its innovative approach to bringing these fields together.

We talk about the Center’s three pillars: professional visibility, interdisciplinary training, and community engagement.

We also discuss the Center’s clinical practicum, where students work with real clients from the community, and Megan’s vision for training students specifically in as its own area of knowledge, competency, and practice.

There’s a lot to think about here for anyone interested in the future of financial therapy, and in what can happen when financial professionals and mental health professionals work together.

Read the full post to hear more about the Love and Money Center and Megan’s vision for where this work can go.

The answer often has less to do with money and more to do with our earliest relationships.
