101. Money Has Feelings with Kristy Archuleta
Your Money Has Feelings: How to Change Your Money Mindset with Kristy Archuleta Why can a woman be successful, accomplished, and confident in so many areas of her life, yet still feel anxious, ashamed, or insecure about money? In this episode of Secrets of Powerful Women , Jill Conway sits down with Kristy Archuleta , financial therapy trailblazer, professor at the University of Georgia, and co-founder of the Financial Therapy Association, to explore the powerful connection between money, emotions, relationships, confidence, and self-worth . Kristy explains why the way we think, feel, and behave around money often begins in childhood. Those messages you heard growing up, like "money doesn't grow on trees," can become unconscious money beliefs that follow you well into adulthood. And for women, those beliefs can run even deeper. For generations, women were often taught that managing money was a man's responsibility. Kristy explains how those messages can affect a woman's financial confidence, independence, decision-making, and relationship with money even today. Jill and Kristy talk about financial anxiety vs. financial stress, scarcity mindset, money shame, financial independence after divorce, saving for your future, asking for a raise, couples fighting about money, and why comparing your financial life to someone else's can be so damaging. Kristy also offers a simple place to start: understand where your money is actually going and ask yourself, what is one small thing I can do today to improve my financial future? Whether you're a woman over 40, woman over 50, entrepreneur, businesswoman, recently divorced, starting over financially, or simply ready to feel more confident about money , this conversation may completely change the way you think about your finances. It's time to let go of the shame and start talking about money.
