The Money Stories We Don’t Talk About with Erika Wasserman (Ep. 37)

Wealth Beyond Riches: Building Prosperity With Purpose, Values, and Impact

We all carry money stories. Some are empowering. Most are inherited. And far too many are quietly shaping our decisions from our bank accounts to our relationships without us ever noticing.

In this candid and emotionally intelligent conversation, Abbey welcomes Erika Wasserman, one of only 100 certified financial therapists in the U.S., to help us unpack the why behind our money behaviors and learn how to rewrite outdated scripts.

Whether you're navigating big life changes, trying to set boundaries with adult children, or simply ready to stop avoiding your financial truth, this episode offers tools to build confidence, clarity, and calm around money.

What to expect:

• How childhood shapes your financial beliefs (and how to change them)
• Why “talking about money” is still so taboo and how to make it easier
• The role of boundaries in spending, giving, and self-worth
• Small but powerful habits to build a healthier money relationship
• And more!
