MONEY SHAME (yikes!)...it's a charged topic, and it's much more common than you probably think.

It's that regret, that embarrassment, that "ick" you get around your past financial decisions that -- truth be told -- inevitably get in the way of your current and future financial decisions.

We have all experienced it, and it's time to normalize it and move past it.

On this episode, I have the great pleasure of talking with LaQueshia Clemons, LCSW, AFC®. LaQueshia is a therapist and a financial counselor with deep knowledge of money trauma and healing.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What money shame is, how it feels, and how it holds us back
• How money shame is much more common than you think: Even financial professionals, those people who are supposed to be "good with money" need help working with their money shame in their personal finances
• The steps to take to recognize and move past money shame in your own life
• Our personal stories of money shame and how self knowledge and a plan of action helped us move through it
• The power of feeling the shame and "doing it anyway"--doing that thing, making that decision, moving through that feeling so it no longer holds you back
