TWR 317: Wendy Wright: Financial Therapy for Midlife Women + Breaking Free of Money Shame

October 10, 2024

Are you losing sleep over money? If so, you’re not the only one. Financial stress affects many women in midlife, whether navigating divorce, career changes, or planning for retirement. This is what I dive into in this Wellness Revolution episode with financial therapist Wendy Wright.

We discuss approaching our finances with “compassionate curiosity and zero judgment,” and how we can break free from emotional cycles that keep us stuck. We also dive into practical advice on creating a financial plan aligned with your values, teaching kids about money without creating anxiety, and boosting your financial literacy.

Wendy Wright is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Financial Recovery Counselor based in Denver, Colorado, specializing in the emerging field of Financial Therapy. With a unique background combining business studies from Baylor University and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, Wendy brings a holistic approach to helping clients navigate their financial challenges.
