In our first podcast episode, 183 episodes ago, we introduced financial therapy as a groundbreaking blend of emotional insight and financial strategy. But has the field evolved since then? In this multi-part series, we revisit the core principles of financial therapy and explore how the practice has changed—and how it hasn’t. From the rise of new tools and research to shifts in client needs and industry challenges, we’ll examine what’s stayed constant and what innovations have pushed the field forward. Whether you’re new to financial therapy or have been following along since the beginning, this series will offer fresh insights into how financial therapy continues to transform the way we think about money, emotions, and well-being.
