Many people believe that they’re “bad” with money—but what if that’s not true? Money stress isn’t a personal failing; it’s often a result of financial anxiety and mixed messages about money.
This workshop explains why traditional financial advice can sometimes increase stress rather than alleviate it, how financial anxiety influences thoughts and behaviors, and, most importantly, what can be done to change it.
